00:00:00My husband, Adrian, and I, we hate each other.
00:00:04He blames me for losing my sister.
00:00:07I hate him for always loving another woman.
00:00:15Used your title to keep me from Lily.
00:00:17And forced me to marry you.
00:00:20Happy now?
00:00:21Adrian! Come back here!
00:00:24Less than a year in the North, chose suicide over the torture.
00:00:28He believes that the initiator of all these tragedies, it's me.
00:00:36For the next eight years, that was all we said.
00:00:39This won't end well.
00:00:41My sister chose death and left us with war.
00:00:45Adrian held out for years, but our fate was sealed.
00:00:49But on the day the city fell, Adrian, he tied me to his war horse.
00:00:54Don't look back.
00:00:55He, Adrian!
00:00:56He drew his blade, and stood alone in the enemy's path.
00:01:02Fire!
00:01:08Adrian!
00:01:11No!
00:01:13Adrian!
00:01:15Adrian!
00:01:17Adrian!
00:01:20Adrian!
00:01:21Adrian!
00:01:23My love, this lifetime, my debt is paid.
00:01:29If there's another life, your Prinus, let me be with her.
00:01:35Ethan!
00:01:36No!
00:01:38No!
00:01:39I never thought he saved me.
00:01:42For her.
00:01:43For the next life.
00:01:44That night, I threw myself from the city walls.
00:01:48I died for my country.
00:01:50And for him.
00:01:52In another life, I will never cross his path again.
00:01:59I open my eyes.
00:02:01I'm back.
00:02:02I'm actually back on the day I begged my father to arrange my marriage to Kalen.
00:02:07Araria.
00:02:08The horde runs rampant at our borders, and we are plagued by strife from within.
00:02:13Only a marriage alliance will save us now.
00:02:16You truly insist on marrying Adrian at a time like this?
00:02:21Father, I will not marry Adrian.
00:02:25I volunteer to make the marriage alliance in the north.
00:02:30Is that true?
00:02:32So you're breaking your engagement to Adrian?
00:02:34In my last life, Adrian died, and the kingdom fell.
00:02:39All because of my sister Lily's political marriage.
00:02:42She killed herself under the pressure, sparking the north's fury.
00:02:46If I were the one to go, maybe I could prevent this tragedy.
00:02:50I was foolish before, father.
00:02:52Before the needs of the kingdom, my own feelings mean nothing.
00:02:55My engagement to General Adrian, then leave it to my sister.
00:03:00I will take my sister's place.
00:03:02This alliance is not a child's game.
00:03:05Once this is done, there is no turning back.
00:03:07Aurora, are you absolutely certain?
00:03:10Father, I've made up my mind.
00:03:16Attendants!
00:03:17Amend the decree!
00:03:20I can see the hesitation in father's eyes, but when it comes to me and Lily, he's always preferred his
00:03:26sweet, charming younger daughter.
00:03:31In my past life, if I hadn't fought it to the death, the king would have eventually made me marry
00:03:36for the alliance in my sister's place.
00:03:39So that's why he agreed so readily.
00:03:42It's him.
00:03:43Your majesty, please, revoke the decree.
00:03:46Don't marry the princess away.
00:03:48Guards!
00:03:49Take General Adrian away!
00:03:51In my past life, I had someone drag Adrian in.
00:03:54Then, make him marry me, will ya?
00:03:57Just like in his past life, he still came to beg his father on his sister's behalf.
00:04:04What are you doing here?
00:04:06Adrian, have you ever considered, if the emperor changes his mind, then all they do is send me up north
00:04:14to marry off for peace.
00:04:15I am the lord commander.
00:04:17I swear no princess of this kingdom will be traded for peace.
00:04:22General, either my sister or I must go to the north.
00:04:26However long you kneel, it won't change a thing.
00:04:30If you just stop interfering, your majesty, this alliance, it can still be stopped.
00:04:39What a pity, then.
00:04:41This time, I won't stop him.
00:04:46What are you thinking of doing again?
00:04:48Of course not.
00:04:49In that case, I wish you success, General Adrian.
00:04:54May you get exactly what you desire.
00:04:56I didn't tell him that the person for the marriage alliance had been changed to me.
00:05:00He suffered so much in our past life.
00:05:03A little more suffering won't kill him.
00:05:05He'll be even happier on the wedding day, when he sees he's marrying Lily, not me.
00:05:10I tried everything.
00:05:12I tried to keep Aurora with me, but he gave me his life.
00:05:16His heart died with my sister in the north.
00:05:20In our past life, you gave your life for me.
00:05:25This time, it's my turn to give you a gift.
00:05:30Aurora, why did she leave so decisively today?
00:05:33Normally, she would have made a scene, demanded that I be carried away.
00:05:37Con Kaelin of the northern hordes is known to despise the realm.
00:05:44My sister's marriage lasted less than a year.
00:05:48She killed herself.
00:05:50This incident triggered a war.
00:05:52If I can handle the northern king,
00:05:55would the empire be saved from war?
00:05:59But, do I even have what it takes?
00:06:08Why do you instigate the king to send an envoy to Princess Lily?
00:06:13Adrian, you're hurting me.
00:06:14Speak!
00:06:15Sir, what are you doing?
00:06:17Get out!
00:06:20Aurora, so jealous and cruel to think you'd harm your own flesh and blood.
00:06:27What makes you think you're worthy of love?
00:06:32You arranged this.
00:06:34You really think I'll obey?
00:06:36Shh.
00:06:37Dream on.
00:06:39He's looking at me with that same hatred.
00:06:43Just like in our past life when we were enemies.
00:06:47General Adrian,
00:06:50remember your place.
00:06:57I'm sorry.
00:06:59I was drunk.
00:07:01The marriage is policy.
00:07:03My sister has her own way out.
00:07:05It will be as you wish, General.
00:07:07You needn't worry.
00:07:08With you here,
00:07:09how can Lily ever have a chance?
00:07:14Adrian?
00:07:14You never planned a future for me.
00:07:17General,
00:07:17it's time for you to leave.
00:07:26Don't worry, Adrian.
00:07:28Soon,
00:07:29the decree for my marriage will come.
00:07:31Last life,
00:07:32you chose death to be with Aurora.
00:07:34This time,
00:07:35I'm letting you go.
00:07:37Your Highness,
00:07:39General Adrian sent this special healing balm.
00:07:41Shall I apply it now?
00:07:43This ointment is specially made for soldiers.
00:07:47Adrian's only kind to repay my mother.
00:07:51He just sees me as a sister.
00:07:53But I've held on for so long.
00:07:56It's time to let go.
00:07:58No need.
00:07:59Take it back.
00:08:00The princess.
00:08:01She's like a different person today.
00:08:04Yes,
00:08:04madam.
00:08:09You sent for me.
00:08:10What is it?
00:08:11The marriage contract.
00:08:13From father.
00:08:14Congratulations.
00:08:15To some backwater family?
00:08:17You call this a marriage?
00:08:19Aurora,
00:08:19how could you?
00:08:20Why don't you take a closer look?
00:08:32Aurora,
00:08:34weren't you the one
00:08:35who always wanted to marry Adrian?
00:08:37So why give up on him?
00:08:39Just gave him to me so easily?
00:08:41Go to the north
00:08:42to arrange a marriage on my behalf.
00:08:44What do you really want?
00:08:50I don't want anything.
00:08:52But
00:08:54I do have one condition.
00:08:55Oh?
00:08:56And what would that be?
00:08:58My marriage alliance
00:09:00on your wedding day.
00:09:02And it can't be made public
00:09:04until that day.
00:09:07Just say yes
00:09:08and you can marry General Pierce.
00:09:10Deal.
00:09:14I accept.
00:09:15Consider my debt repaid,
00:09:17Adrian.
00:09:18For saving my life
00:09:19in a past one.
00:09:21This is where
00:09:22our story ends.
00:09:23But Adrian,
00:09:24he's still come
00:09:25completely in the dark.
00:09:27Still desperately
00:09:28trying to sort out
00:09:29Princess Lily's
00:09:30arranged marriage.
00:09:35Aurora,
00:09:37did you come here
00:09:38to laugh at me?
00:09:39Let me be clear.
00:09:41I will not let Lily
00:09:42be sent to marry
00:09:43someone in the north
00:09:44and I will never
00:09:45marry you.
00:09:47All right then.
00:09:49We'll see about that.
00:09:51Adrian!
00:09:52Without the burden
00:09:53of the marriage alliance,
00:09:54Lily's smile
00:09:55is so much sweeter.
00:09:56Adrian,
00:09:57what about the little
00:09:58carving you promised me?
00:10:01Right here.
00:10:06You're so talented.
00:10:08I bet all the girls
00:10:09are asking you
00:10:10to make these for them.
00:10:11Of course not.
00:10:14I only carve
00:10:15for the one I care about.
00:10:21Adrian learned
00:10:21wood carving
00:10:22from my mother.
00:10:23Back when she was
00:10:24with us,
00:10:25she'd carve
00:10:25little trinkets
00:10:26to make me smile.
00:10:29After she was gone,
00:10:30he was the one
00:10:31who carved things
00:10:32for me.
00:10:33But ever since Lily
00:10:34appeared,
00:10:35there was one more
00:10:36person he was
00:10:37willing to carve
00:10:37for.
00:10:39You're carving
00:10:40for her again?
00:10:42I told you
00:10:43to stop carving
00:10:44for her!
00:10:45Stop carving!
00:10:47Those are meant
00:10:48for me!
00:10:49You don't carve
00:10:50for her!
00:10:51Enough!
00:10:52How long
00:10:52are you going
00:10:53to do this?
00:10:58Adrian,
00:10:59have you forgotten?
00:11:00Lily's mother
00:11:01killed mine!
00:11:02Can I have
00:11:03another wood carving?
00:11:04Of course.
00:11:04What would you like?
00:11:06A little wooden
00:11:06sword then.
00:11:08A wooden sword.
00:11:09My mom's specialty
00:11:10for me.
00:11:11She hates them.
00:11:12She's just
00:11:13provoking me.
00:11:17Why did Aurora
00:11:18leave?
00:11:19Is she upset?
00:11:21Adrian,
00:11:22you despise me.
00:11:24Don't worry.
00:11:25In three days,
00:11:26you'll never
00:11:27see me again.
00:11:33Your Highness,
00:11:34how strange.
00:11:35Someone left this
00:11:36at the front gate
00:11:37this morning.
00:11:41I know.
00:11:42Only Adrian
00:11:43has this kind
00:11:44of skill.
00:11:45Childish.
00:11:50Your Highness,
00:11:52the sword?
00:12:04So be it.
00:12:06I'll just accept
00:12:07this as his
00:12:07final gift to me.
00:12:09Your Highness,
00:12:10the Royal Gala.
00:12:11Skipping it again
00:12:12this year?
00:12:15No.
00:12:16I'm going.
00:12:18Wonderful.
00:12:25This is the last
00:12:27autumn feast
00:12:27in my homeland.
00:12:28I want one last
00:12:30look at our moon.
00:12:35After this festival,
00:12:37Lily is being
00:12:37sent away.
00:12:38Don't understand
00:12:39what Princess Lily
00:12:40is thinking.
00:12:41She won't do her duty.
00:12:42She just wants
00:12:43to marry General Pei.
00:12:44Lily's the one
00:12:45who's actually noble.
00:12:47As a princess
00:12:48of Roman Empire,
00:12:49my duty
00:12:49is to the realm.
00:12:54If this marriage
00:12:55brings peace,
00:12:57my feelings
00:12:58don't matter.
00:12:58You're the one
00:12:59with real vision,
00:13:00Lily.
00:13:00For Aurora
00:13:01to skip a night
00:13:02as important as this,
00:13:03she has absolutely
00:13:04no sense of duty.
00:13:05Who said
00:13:06I wasn't coming?
00:13:10Besides,
00:13:11whether I choose
00:13:12to attend tonight
00:13:13or not,
00:13:14is that for you
00:13:15to question?
00:13:16I never come
00:13:17to these things.
00:13:19Lily took advantage
00:13:19of my absence
00:13:20to play the victim.
00:13:22What's Aurora's deal?
00:13:23Does she think
00:13:24she's better than Lily?
00:13:25Let her go marry
00:13:26the enemy then.
00:13:27Her mother's dead,
00:13:28big deal.
00:13:29They're so entitled.
00:13:31I remember
00:13:32in my past life,
00:13:33when the city fell,
00:13:35they didn't end
00:13:36well either.
00:13:37Better to make
00:13:38a few waves now
00:13:39than to let
00:13:39our entire world sink.
00:13:42Aurora!
00:13:45I know you took
00:13:46my place
00:13:46in that political marriage,
00:13:48but you did it willingly.
00:13:49It's not like
00:13:50I forced you.
00:13:51After all,
00:13:53that ordeal,
00:13:54that credit
00:13:55was supposed to be mine.
00:13:56You stole it from me.
00:13:58It's only fair
00:13:59I get to say
00:13:59something about it.
00:14:00Achievement?
00:14:01You think your marriage
00:14:03alone would have
00:14:03fixed everything?
00:14:06Lily!
00:14:07Someone as gutless
00:14:08as you,
00:14:09and you think
00:14:10you'll last
00:14:10even a year?
00:14:12You're nothing
00:14:13but a pawn
00:14:14to break the alliance.
00:14:15I'm the one
00:14:16who has to fix
00:14:16your mess,
00:14:17so don't you dare
00:14:17think you're a hero.
00:14:19You!
00:14:22Aurora!
00:14:24Why did you push me?
00:14:25Help me!
00:14:33Help me!
00:14:35Adrian!
00:14:36Adrian!
00:14:37Adrian!
00:14:38Help me!
00:14:40Lily!
00:14:41Help me!
00:14:42Adrian, help me!
00:14:45Adrian,
00:14:46how could you
00:14:47be so cruel?
00:14:48The eldest princess
00:14:49fell into the water!
00:14:51Help her!
00:14:51Please!
00:14:52Please!
00:14:54Quick!
00:14:55Go save her!
00:15:04Are you insane?
00:15:07You'd kill your own sister?
00:15:09For what?
00:15:11Can you replace her
00:15:12and go to the north?
00:15:14Adrian, I...
00:15:15Shut up!
00:15:16Cut the act.
00:15:17I never knew
00:15:18you were so vicious
00:15:19and spiteful.
00:15:20You're a pathetic princess.
00:15:22A disgrace.
00:15:23It's a blessing
00:15:24your mother died
00:15:25before seeing
00:15:26what you've become.
00:15:28Adrian!
00:15:29It's the same scene
00:15:30all over again,
00:15:31just like in my past life.
00:15:33For eight years,
00:15:34we've drawn blades
00:15:35over Alara,
00:15:36but we never actually struck.
00:15:38But this time,
00:15:39and now,
00:15:40I strike.
00:15:48Aurora,
00:15:48what's wrong?
00:15:49Adrian,
00:15:51you have no right
00:15:52to speak about my mother.
00:15:54Aurora?
00:15:54Aurora?
00:16:01Adrian!
00:16:02Aurora!
00:16:03You're being married off!
00:16:05Why are you still
00:16:05clinging to Adrian?
00:16:09Adrian!
00:16:16In my past life,
00:16:18Adrian would never visit
00:16:19on his own.
00:16:20What are you doing here?
00:16:22I'm sorry.
00:16:23I lost my temper.
00:16:26Adrian,
00:16:27there's no need
00:16:28for apologies
00:16:29between us anymore.
00:16:40Adrian,
00:16:41soon you'll be free.
00:16:43My marriage
00:16:44will finally let you
00:16:45wed your true love
00:16:46of two lifetimes.
00:16:47You won't have
00:16:48to see me again.
00:16:54Princess,
00:16:55what are you looking for?
00:16:56Where's my jewelry box?
00:17:00could it be?
00:17:09Lily!
00:17:13Lily!
00:17:16Aurora,
00:17:17please.
00:17:17I'm leaving soon.
00:17:19Just let me have this.
00:17:21Don't be mad.
00:17:22You!
00:17:26Really?
00:17:28Over a bunch
00:17:29of wooden swords?
00:17:30Did you take
00:17:30my little wooden sword?
00:17:32Only Aiden knew
00:17:33where I kept
00:17:34my mother's sword.
00:17:38Lily being sent away
00:17:39for this marriage,
00:17:41that was all
00:17:41you're doing,
00:17:42wasn't it?
00:17:43You ruined
00:17:43her entire life.
00:17:45Isn't that worth
00:17:45more than this
00:17:46worthless piece of wood?
00:17:49Worthless wood?
00:17:50That was from
00:17:51my mother!
00:17:52She carved it herself!
00:17:55I know.
00:17:56I'll carve you
00:17:57a better one.
00:17:58Who the hell are you?
00:18:00You can't!
00:18:18this moment feels just like our past life.
00:18:22We were always at each other's throats.
00:18:25We hurt each other
00:18:26with the most venomous words imaginable.
00:18:31Stay.
00:18:37It's just that,
00:18:39in our past life,
00:18:40we would never have
00:18:41truly hurt each other.
00:18:44A wooden sword.
00:18:45It's the one I gave her.
00:18:49Hello!
00:18:50Aurora,
00:18:52why didn't you move?
00:18:55You were always so quick before.
00:18:59Before?
00:19:00We never had a before.
00:19:05Aiden waited outside my door.
00:19:08Two days,
00:19:10two nights.
00:19:11On the night before my wedding,
00:19:13I kept my bedroom door
00:19:15firmly shut
00:19:16and wouldn't let him
00:19:17set foot inside.
00:19:26Orian,
00:19:27I will marry you
00:19:28and I'll spend my entire life
00:19:31making up for this wound.
00:19:33I'll make this right.
00:19:34I swear on my family's honor.
00:19:36He doesn't know.
00:19:38Tomorrow I take her place,
00:19:40but he's marrying Lily.
00:19:47On the day of the union,
00:19:48I allowed no one to follow.
00:19:51Not even Ivy.
00:19:52This miserable assignment
00:19:53in the northern wastes.
00:19:55I'm the only one
00:19:55who needs to go.
00:19:57Why drag anyone else
00:19:58into this misery?
00:19:59Please wake up
00:20:00the land of work
00:20:02awaiting a predestined
00:20:05Today
00:20:05is also Adrian
00:20:07and Lily's wedding day.
00:20:09He received her surprise
00:20:11and wordy.
00:20:12By now,
00:20:13he must have received
00:20:14the surprise I left for him.
00:20:23Adrian?
00:20:24What's he doing here?
00:20:26What's he doing here?
00:20:55I'm sorry.
00:20:57I couldn't stop
00:20:58this arranged marriage.
00:20:59But if you regret this,
00:21:01tell me.
00:21:02I can get you away from here
00:21:03where no one
00:21:04will ever find you.
00:21:08Is this what you wanted?
00:21:10Adrian!
00:21:20Your Highness.
00:21:22I hope Your Highness
00:21:23will allow me
00:21:24to be with her.
00:21:28Aiden!
00:21:29If I'd known our love
00:21:31was doomed,
00:21:32we wouldn't have come to this.
00:21:34Adrian,
00:21:35this time I'm setting you free.
00:21:37We will never meet again.
00:21:39Lily!
00:21:41Lily!
00:21:42Lily!
00:21:43Lily!
00:21:44Lily!
00:21:46Lily!
00:21:46Lily!
00:21:49Lily!
00:21:53Something's not right
00:21:54with Lily today.
00:21:55She dismissed her escort
00:21:57and she won't say a word
00:21:59to me.
00:22:01If I had just tried harder,
00:22:04maybe Lily wouldn't have to go.
00:22:07She must hate me for this.
00:22:10But what could I do?
00:22:12I promised Aurora.
00:22:14I swore an oath.
00:22:15I can't break it.
00:22:33I'm afraid
00:22:35we'll never grow old together.
00:22:36we'll never grow old together.
00:22:51Adrian.
00:22:52Lily?
00:22:53Why is it you?
00:22:55I...
00:22:56I don't know either.
00:22:57The royal decree
00:22:58was changed yesterday.
00:22:59My sister is being sent away
00:23:01for the political marriage.
00:23:02Wait, what?
00:23:03The one being sent
00:23:05is Aurora?
00:23:07Yes.
00:23:09Then,
00:23:11the woman who went
00:23:12to the desert alone
00:23:14was Aurora!
00:23:18I'm sorry,
00:23:19I couldn't stop
00:23:19this arranged marriage.
00:23:21But if you regret this,
00:23:22tell me.
00:23:23I can get you away from here
00:23:24where no one
00:23:25will ever find you.
00:23:34I can get you away from here.
00:23:37Lily!
00:23:39Lily!
00:23:40Lily!
00:23:42Lily!
00:23:42Lily!
00:23:47Husband,
00:23:48where are you going?
00:23:55Aurora!
00:23:58Husband!
00:24:03Kaelin,
00:24:04the king of the Northlands.
00:24:06He utterly despises
00:24:08the Empire.
00:24:08I need to win his trust
00:24:10and fast.
00:24:11Even if peace
00:24:12with the Empire
00:24:13is impossible,
00:24:14at least,
00:24:15I have to buy us
00:24:16more time.
00:24:20Tia!
00:24:47The Little Southern Princess.
00:24:50You've actually got
00:24:51some skills up your sleeve.
00:24:53He's so young,
00:24:55but he reeks of death.
00:24:57I think I get it now,
00:24:58why Lily took her life.
00:25:01I came to marry for peace.
00:25:04Why, Duke?
00:25:06My territory
00:25:07have no need
00:25:08for weak women.
00:25:10Rather than letting you
00:25:11suffer in the future,
00:25:13I'd rather just let you
00:25:14die now
00:25:15and be reliberated.
00:25:16Die,
00:25:17Little Princess
00:25:17from the South.
00:25:18What would I be called
00:25:19in your lands?
00:25:20Ah,
00:25:22husband.
00:25:24Let me send you off.
00:25:25Wait!
00:25:36Adrian.
00:25:38Before this mighty
00:25:40northern duke
00:25:41with unmatched
00:25:42skill at arms,
00:25:44the only general
00:25:45from the Empire
00:25:46he might respect
00:25:47is Adrian.
00:25:49In my past life,
00:25:50every general
00:25:51had to flee
00:25:51whenever they
00:25:52encountered Karen.
00:25:53Only Adrian
00:25:54could ever match him.
00:25:56Now,
00:25:57I have to take
00:25:57this chance.
00:25:59Our great general,
00:26:01Adrian.
00:26:02He married my sister,
00:26:03you know,
00:26:03the woman he truly loves.
00:26:05He is eager
00:26:05to gain military honors
00:26:07so that my sister
00:26:07can be proud of him.
00:26:08He spends every single day
00:26:10dreaming of cutting
00:26:10your head off
00:26:11so he can march
00:26:11back home as a hero.
00:26:13Did you really think
00:26:13he'd give up
00:26:14just because I married you?
00:26:15He wants me to die here,
00:26:16so my father,
00:26:18the Emperor,
00:26:18will have the excuse
00:26:19he needs
00:26:20to crush you,
00:26:21you barbarian.
00:26:23How dare you call me
00:26:24a barbarian
00:26:25straight to my face?
00:26:26The last messenger
00:26:27who pulled that stall
00:26:28had his head
00:26:29hung on our walls.
00:26:33The last envoy
00:26:34who did that,
00:26:35his head
00:26:36is on our walls.
00:26:41Fine.
00:26:43If I die here,
00:26:44he will avenge me.
00:26:46If you're so certain,
00:26:48Duke,
00:26:49then finish it.
00:26:56You've got some spine
00:26:57after all.
00:26:58Much better
00:26:59than the other princesses.
00:27:00At least ten princesses
00:27:02have been sent
00:27:03from the Reuven Feridot.
00:27:05Kaelin wasn't the lord
00:27:06yet back then.
00:27:07The men they were married to,
00:27:09perhaps they were
00:27:10even more brutal.
00:27:11What they endured,
00:27:12was it even worse
00:27:14than what I'm going
00:27:14through now?
00:27:18Just,
00:27:19the first day,
00:27:21and it's only going
00:27:22to get worse from here.
00:27:26He spared me.
00:27:28I thought I was safe.
00:27:30I was wrong.
00:27:32For the hunt,
00:27:33he chose me to follow.
00:27:36He despises my people.
00:27:38This is a trip
00:27:39for his favorite.
00:27:40So why me?
00:27:42Hmm.
00:27:43The little princess
00:27:44from the capital
00:27:45can't even ride.
00:27:50Then again,
00:27:51he stuck with me.
00:27:52The woman they forced on him.
00:27:54It's not like he has a choice.
00:27:55I was going to do things.
00:28:00I was going to go
00:28:02I was going to go
00:28:02Kaelin!
00:28:04Where did you go?
00:28:13In front of me,
00:28:14a tiger.
00:28:19Are you sure?
00:28:21You let her live
00:28:22on your wedding night.
00:28:24Spare someone from the plains? Not a chance
00:28:28But if I kill her myself
00:28:31It will enrage the Reuben
00:28:34Adrian, a worthy opponent
00:28:37We need more time
00:28:40If a tiger kills her, our hands are clean
00:28:43With that coward on the throne, he'll have to look the other way
00:28:46That gives us more than enough time to deal with Aurora
00:28:49She is beautiful, and so alive
00:28:53What a pity
00:28:54Wrong time, wrong place
00:28:56Just another pawn in our game
00:28:59See to it, her body is collected
00:29:01Yes
00:29:05Trouble
00:29:06She set her arrow on fire with wine
00:29:16Kalen
00:29:17We have a situation
00:29:18She poured liquor on her arrow and lit it
00:29:41That woman took down a tiger
00:29:44All alone
00:29:46Yeah
00:29:47I still can't believe it
00:29:49She must have some kind of otherworldly power
00:29:51She's weak
00:29:53Shouldn't we take her out?
00:29:59Shh
00:30:00She's weak
00:30:01Should we take her out?
00:30:03He's right
00:30:05We can make it look like a tiger got her
00:30:06It would be easy
00:30:10Retreat
00:30:11Retreat
00:30:14What's with the con today?
00:30:16You just let that southerner go?
00:30:18Shh
00:30:19Keep it down
00:30:20Hi-ya
00:30:27I didn't tell Kale I ran into the tiger
00:30:31Because I know how complicated this all is
00:30:35But I never expected
00:30:38That day he came to my room on his own
00:31:01So soft
00:31:03Are all women from the heartlands this fair?
00:31:06Turns out
00:31:07Not every southerner is so hateful
00:31:11Who's there?
00:31:18What?
00:31:20Still want to kill me?
00:31:34What are you going to do?
00:31:43I'm sleeping here today
00:31:45What?
00:31:47So you're married
00:31:49And you still sleep in separate beds?
00:31:52Is that a custom where you're from?
00:32:18What is Kaelin planning?
00:32:36Put it on
00:32:39I'm taking you somewhere today
00:32:42Where are we going?
00:32:59Why did Kaelin bring me here?
00:33:09This is my mother
00:33:14She was the queen
00:33:16Kaelin actually brought me to see his mother
00:33:23Mother
00:33:24I'm married
00:33:25You can rest easy now
00:33:29Whatever the case
00:33:31First
00:33:31Calm him down
00:33:33That can't be wrong
00:33:46Beautiful day
00:33:47Let me show you around
00:33:57Beautiful day
00:34:00Let me show you around
00:34:16Back in Ruoven
00:34:17Who taught you to ride and shoot
00:34:23Adrian
00:34:24He's my mother's adopted son
00:34:26We're like brother and sister
00:34:28It's only natural for him to worry
00:34:30With me married so far away in the north
00:34:33You needy worry
00:34:34From now on
00:34:35I will be the one to teach you
00:34:38Here
00:34:54Kaelin
00:35:07Kaelin
00:35:09I'd like my own horse.
00:35:20Kia!
00:35:22Kia!
00:35:25Race you, Kalen!
00:35:26What's the challenge?
00:35:27Whoever bags the most geese.
00:35:29Let's team up. You and me.
00:35:32Deal.
00:35:33Let's begin.
00:35:35Yes, sir!
00:35:50Yeah! We won!
00:36:00Yeah!
00:36:11I was told he despises Southerners.
00:36:14Particularly delicate princesses.
00:36:18I had a wonderful time today.
00:36:23It's getting late.
00:36:24We should head back.
00:36:32Go!
00:36:33Go!
00:36:34The Khan's not going to touch the princess?
00:36:37She's no delicate princess.
00:36:39She is the desert's...
00:36:41the most fiery wildflower.
00:36:45Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:36:47Drink!
00:36:48Drink!
00:36:52So, I'm really in, aren't I?
00:37:04Kaelin stays in my chambers every night.
00:37:06But he never touches me.
00:37:08After a while, I've even started to fall asleep beside him.
00:37:12I can feel that he doesn't hate me as much as he used to.
00:37:16Still, this kindness is only for me, a Southerner.
00:37:20He's still Kael, the man who hates my people.
00:37:25I can feel that he doesn't hate me as much as he used to.
00:37:26There's a letter for you.
00:37:35Meet in the North today at 3.
00:37:37This handwriting, it's familiar.
00:37:42It's Adrian.
00:37:44What is he doing here?
00:37:52And where might you be going?
00:37:57I...
00:37:58I just wanted to look around.
00:38:00Are you telling the truth?
00:38:02Fine.
00:38:03If you don't want me to, I just won't.
00:38:08When will you return?
00:38:09I don't know if I'll ever come back.
00:38:19When the sword's shadow reaches this point, I will be back.
00:38:25I don't know if Kaelin really bought it.
00:38:39Adrian.
00:38:45Adrian.
00:38:46A name I never thought I'd hear from her.
00:38:48Come home with me.
00:38:49Adrian.
00:38:50Do you want war?
00:38:51The Alliance Bride.
00:38:53Snatched back so soon.
00:38:55Kaelin won't let this slide.
00:38:56I will never let his cavalry breach the heartland.
00:39:04When Lily died in her last life, Adrian fought for Reuven.
00:39:08Seven years long.
00:39:10This life, I won't hold him back.
00:39:12He might actually have a chance to hold back the North.
00:39:16A price the people always pay.
00:39:18But every war has a price.
00:39:21Besides, Adrian isn't invincible.
00:39:26Don't you worry, Adrian.
00:39:29With me here, the border is safe.
00:39:34Go to your wife, Adrian.
00:39:36We're not married.
00:39:39What was that?
00:39:41What did you say?
00:39:42I said...
00:39:45I didn't marry Lily.
00:39:50You should go now, Adrian.
00:39:52Aurora.
00:39:53If you went to the North for me, please, come back.
00:39:56Please, come back.
00:39:58I'll do everything I can to protect you.
00:40:02You worry too much, Adrian.
00:40:04You said I wasn't a real princess.
00:40:06Well, I'm just proving you right.
00:40:10Enough!
00:40:12Stop pretending!
00:40:13I never knew you were this cruel.
00:40:16You shame your title.
00:40:18And your people.
00:40:20Good thing your mother died.
00:40:22So she didn't have to see.
00:40:24This.
00:40:25So repulsive.
00:40:28Adrian!
00:40:32Aurora, that's not what I meant.
00:40:34I just lost my temper.
00:40:36That's enough, Adrian.
00:40:39Since I'm the princess,
00:40:41I'll own my fate.
00:40:44This is my choice.
00:40:46Mine alone.
00:40:52Don't flatter yourself.
00:40:54Adrian.
00:40:56I'll stop at nothing.
00:40:57To hold off Kaylin.
00:40:59I won't let Kaylin.
00:41:01Set foot in the heartland.
00:41:02If I fail,
00:41:03I'll die for my country.
00:41:08And
00:41:09this is the last time we'll meet.
00:41:17Alara!
00:41:19In this life,
00:41:20I wish you a long life
00:41:23and many, many children.
00:41:29Alara!
00:41:40Alara!
00:41:44As the crown princess,
00:41:45you tore me and Lily apart,
00:41:47forcing me to marry you.
00:41:49Is this what you wanted?
00:41:52What's going on?
00:41:54Where did this memory come from?
00:41:58When did this happen with Aurora?
00:42:02A day and a night, Kaylin.
00:42:04It's been a day and a night.
00:42:06The princess must have run off
00:42:07with that Adrian.
00:42:08He's right!
00:42:09She lied to you, Kaylin.
00:42:10And she might have taken our secrets.
00:42:12Kaylin!
00:42:13Give me a thousand men!
00:42:15I'll bring you their heads!
00:42:17Silence!
00:42:21I have a bad feeling about this.
00:42:23But
00:42:24I just can't hurt her again.
00:42:29So be it.
00:42:34Kaylin!
00:42:37Kaylin!
00:43:06Oh my god, Kaylin!
00:43:08Mercy, my Kaylin!
00:43:10I was wrong!
00:43:11Please!
00:43:12You're the mightiest!
00:43:13And...
00:43:14And you're so strong!
00:43:22My wish,
00:43:24Princess Alara,
00:43:25is one life.
00:43:27With one person.
00:43:29You.
00:43:31Kaylin,
00:43:32where did you learn such poetry?
00:43:35Princess,
00:43:36do you like it?
00:43:38I do.
00:43:45Adrian!
00:43:46You're finally back!
00:43:47I...
00:43:47Adrian!
00:43:48Where have you been?
00:43:49You left me all alone on our wedding night.
00:43:51Now I'm the laughing stoke of the capital.
00:43:54Lily.
00:43:55I've wronged you.
00:43:57Tomorrow,
00:43:57I will answer to his majesty.
00:44:00It's okay.
00:44:01All that matters is you're back now.
00:44:04Lily.
00:44:06I can't marry you.
00:44:12Why?
00:44:13Is it about Aurora?
00:44:15As general,
00:44:16I must protect our people.
00:44:20I can't let the princess go north alone.
00:44:23Lily.
00:44:26Until I bring Aurora's back,
00:44:27I can't...
00:44:29think about us.
00:44:30Isn't this what's best for everyone?
00:44:33Alara's marriage brought peace to the realm.
00:44:35Finally,
00:44:36we're together,
00:44:37and nothing can ever keep us apart.
00:44:40Why would you do this?
00:44:52Lily.
00:44:55I thought this little sword was your favorite.
00:45:01I...
00:45:02Adrian.
00:45:06If you liked it,
00:45:07why weren't you more careful?
00:45:08No, Adrian.
00:45:09That's not it.
00:45:10I just panicked for a second,
00:45:11and I accidentally dropped the little sword.
00:45:14How could I not like it?
00:45:16If you liked it,
00:45:17why didn't you protect it?
00:45:18If you truly cherished it,
00:45:19you'd have been like your sister.
00:45:33She never even liked the wooden sword.
00:45:37I've been so blind this whole time.
00:45:39I've done so much to hurt Aurora.
00:45:44General!
00:45:45Who is he?
00:45:51General,
00:45:52I have what you asked for.
00:45:54Go on.
00:45:55Speak.
00:45:56General Alistair.
00:45:58The Harvest Gala.
00:46:00I was there.
00:46:01I saw everything.
00:46:03It was Princess Lily.
00:46:04She pushed her in.
00:46:06No!
00:46:06He's lying.
00:46:07One false word,
00:46:09and you'll lose your head.
00:46:11I swear on my life!
00:46:12It's the absolute truth!
00:46:16Lily is what he said.
00:46:18True.
00:46:21It is.
00:46:23And what if it is?
00:46:24That honor was meant for me.
00:46:27She stole my honor,
00:46:28and now she's trying to steal you!
00:46:32I just got mad,
00:46:33so I taught her a lesson.
00:46:35What's wrong?
00:46:38Lily.
00:46:40What have you become?
00:46:42Hmph.
00:46:45You're the one who despised her.
00:46:48You left me at the altar for Aurora.
00:46:51Since when do you get to lecture me?
00:46:55Adrian,
00:46:56you're a hypocrite.
00:46:59Unless...
00:47:01You want to have it both ways?
00:47:03Don't be ridiculous.
00:47:05Whether I'm talking nonsense,
00:47:08you know the truth better than anyone, Julia.
00:47:12Can it be true,
00:47:13what Lily said?
00:47:16The one I truly love
00:47:18is Aurora.
00:47:20General,
00:47:20what should we do now?
00:47:22Whatever it takes.
00:47:24This time,
00:47:25I will bring Aurora home.
00:47:30Caelan treats me well,
00:47:32but he still hates the Empire.
00:47:34I still can't influence his war astrology.
00:47:37I'm afraid of destroying
00:47:39what we've built.
00:47:42Khan!
00:47:43Men from the Empire are here.
00:47:48their leader
00:47:49claims to be
00:47:50General Arian.
00:47:54Adrian.
00:47:56He says
00:47:56he's here to see the Queen.
00:47:59What is he up to now?
00:48:01Hmph.
00:48:11General Aidan.
00:48:13Aurora,
00:48:14my wife.
00:48:16Who is he?
00:48:19Caelan.
00:48:20That's him.
00:48:21The great General Adrian.
00:48:26General Adrian,
00:48:27this is Caelan,
00:48:28the King of the North.
00:48:30And he is my,
00:48:31my husband.
00:48:36Adrian.
00:48:37She must be saying that
00:48:39just to hurt me.
00:48:41I am General Adrian.
00:48:43I come on the Emperor's authority
00:48:45to see the Princess.
00:48:48General Adrian,
00:48:50the famed God of War
00:48:51of the Asurian Empire.
00:48:53Your reputation precedes you.
00:48:59A gesture of goodwill.
00:49:01We hope you'll accept it.
00:49:03What is Adrian up to?
00:49:07Then I suppose
00:49:08I should thank the Emperor.
00:49:10Then I, of course,
00:49:12must return the courtesy.
00:49:13Men!
00:49:16Prepare the feast!
00:49:18Yes, my lord!
00:49:24Aurora!
00:49:26Adrian.
00:49:28What are you doing back in the North?
00:49:31Did the Emperor really send you?
00:49:37I asked to come here.
00:49:40I thought I made myself clear.
00:49:43This was my choice.
00:49:45Why are you here?
00:49:47Aurora.
00:49:50I know everything.
00:49:52Lily never liked the sword.
00:49:53He pushed you in the water, right?
00:49:58I was wrong.
00:49:59I'm so sorry.
00:50:02Please,
00:50:02come home with me.
00:50:04General Adrian.
00:50:05I mean every word of it.
00:50:08The war is at stake.
00:50:10How dare you be so selfish?
00:50:14How can you be so selfish?
00:50:16Treating this like a game.
00:50:17This isn't about me.
00:50:18I am the General of Joe.
00:50:20I will not let our princess
00:50:22be sacrificed for peace.
00:50:23General Adrian.
00:50:25After the feast,
00:50:26you are to return home immediately.
00:50:28Aurora!
00:50:29Aurora!
00:50:37Where are all these strange memories coming from?
00:50:41Why can't I remember a thing?
00:50:51General Adrian.
00:50:54General Adrian.
00:50:57When your men drink,
00:50:58what do they do for sport?
00:51:01The usual things.
00:51:02Archery, wrestling,
00:51:04maybe some knife throwing.
00:51:06However,
00:51:07we value men of both brawn and brains.
00:51:11When the battle's over,
00:51:12and you're still swinging your sword,
00:51:17that's simply barbaric.
00:51:20To draw your steel when there's no war
00:51:25is savage.
00:51:27Since the General says
00:51:29drawing steel is savage.
00:51:35And you
00:51:37dare to face me?
00:51:39Inverse?
00:51:41Why not?
00:51:44But I have one condition.
00:51:50if I win.
00:51:54I'll take the princess back to Sendia.
00:51:58Adrian, watch yourself!
00:52:04What?
00:52:05Don't you dare,
00:52:06warlord of the north?
00:52:07Or are you afraid you'll lose?
00:52:09Fine.
00:52:10Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:52:13Fine.
00:52:15But,
00:52:16this is a fight between men.
00:52:19My queen is not a piece of profit.
00:52:23Whether she goes with you,
00:52:25or stays here,
00:52:28that is for her to decide.
00:52:34Enough, General.
00:52:37The north is not your playground.
00:52:40Go back to your tent.
00:52:42At dawn,
00:52:43back to the capital.
00:52:51What are you worried about,
00:52:52my love?
00:52:56You're afraid I'll lose to him?
00:53:00Khan, I...
00:53:01My Khatun will judge this contest.
00:53:04Your thoughts,
00:53:05General Adrian?
00:53:07Fair enough.
00:53:11Guards,
00:53:11bring me quill and ink.
00:53:17They say they eat their meat raw.
00:53:20And their king,
00:53:21can't even write his own name.
00:53:23Her future's looking bright.
00:53:25All wasted on the king of the north.
00:53:28Hilara,
00:53:29prepare my ink.
00:53:30Hmm.
00:53:39Commander?
00:53:40You're left-handed?
00:53:44You'll find out soon enough.
00:53:52Above the wastes,
00:53:53the frozen mountains loom.
00:53:56This lonely fort,
00:53:58worlds away from home.
00:54:00A hundred battles fought in dust and sand.
00:54:03Break their walls,
00:54:04or die upon this land.
00:54:06We shall not return till the enemy is broken.
00:54:09Powerful words,
00:54:10a man of great vision.
00:54:12Master of both strategy and verse.
00:54:14He is,
00:54:14without a doubt,
00:54:15the greatest warrior in our kingdom.
00:54:17Is Adrian out of his mind?
00:54:20To defy the northern king?
00:54:23Here?
00:54:26Kaelin?
00:54:27He knows Spencerian Cope?
00:54:29There is a tide in the affairs of men.
00:54:31Which,
00:54:32taken at the flood,
00:54:34youth fades,
00:54:35a fleeting dawn.
00:54:36Hmm,
00:54:37not bad.
00:54:38So drink,
00:54:39and live for now.
00:54:40This is,
00:54:41actually getting good.
00:54:43I was born for a reason.
00:54:45Riches come and go.
00:54:46What a brilliant line.
00:54:47Who knew the northern king was such a scholar?
00:54:49A line like this,
00:54:50it'll go down in history.
00:54:51The northern king's hand,
00:54:52it's all sharp edges.
00:54:53Slender yet powerful,
00:54:54full of pride.
00:54:55Incredible!
00:54:56I never knew,
00:54:57he was a poet.
00:54:58I never knew he had such a way with words.
00:55:01That's impossible.
00:55:04I never knew he had such a way with words.
00:55:05General Adrian,
00:55:06have I won?
00:55:07The king of the north has won.
00:55:10So,
00:55:11Aiden,
00:55:12finally admit it.
00:55:16I...
00:55:21General,
00:55:22give my father this message.
00:55:26I'm doing well here.
00:55:29Kalen is good to me.
00:55:31Tell him not to worry.
00:55:32Adrian,
00:55:33you fool.
00:55:34You had your chance and you blew it.
00:55:36Now you can't watch.
00:55:38Serves you right.
00:55:40I have failed.
00:55:41I obey.
00:55:54Go kill Lyra.
00:55:56She can never come back.
00:55:59Failure
00:56:00is not an option.
00:56:03Yes.
00:56:05Yes.
00:56:13The task his majesty gave me,
00:56:15I've finished it.
00:56:17Please,
00:56:17come with me.
00:56:22Aurora,
00:56:24you're really not coming back to Reuven with me.
00:56:26This is the last chance.
00:56:28I promise you,
00:56:29come back,
00:56:30and I'll protect you with my life.
00:56:34Don't.
00:56:35Please.
00:56:36Go back,
00:56:37General.
00:56:37Aurora.
00:56:38Afraid?
00:56:40Perhaps I should have my my men escort you.
00:56:45Let me send some men to protect you.
00:56:47No need.
00:56:48Kalen.
00:56:51I want to see General Adrian off.
00:56:59I'll wait for you.
00:57:02Hmm.
00:57:02Okay.
00:57:08General Adrian,
00:57:10I'm trusting you to keep Aurora safe.
00:57:12Protecting the princess is my duty.
00:57:16I need no reminder from the con.
00:57:19I need no reminder from the con.
00:57:22Adrian,
00:57:23it's time.
00:57:24Let's make this a swift journey.
00:57:26Okay.
00:57:34Aurora agreed to see me off.
00:57:36Does that mean she'll come back with me?
00:57:42Assassin!
00:57:43Go!
00:57:44Get them!
00:57:50Adrian!
00:57:52What's going on?
00:57:53What's going on?
00:57:55What's going on?
00:57:56Adrian!
00:58:00Adrian!
00:58:06Adrian!
00:58:09Adrian!
00:58:13Adrian!
00:58:15Adrian!
00:58:15what are you doing?
00:58:17AHHHHH!
00:58:19Kaelin!
00:58:21Fire!
00:58:28No.
00:58:30I can't let this tragedy happen again.
00:58:33Aurora, run.
00:58:35Don't talk.
00:58:36I said run!
00:58:38If anything happens to you, the kingdom will lose one of its...
00:58:45Adrian Thorne, hang in there! We're stopping the bleeding!
00:58:48Just hold on a little longer.
00:58:50Sir, don't move! You'll reopen the wound!
00:58:54Princess, please, don't worry. General Adrian is going to be fine.
00:59:00General Adrian, hang on! General!
00:59:06General, hold still!
00:59:10Stay with me, General.
00:59:15Adrian!
00:59:17Adrian!
00:59:19Medic, how is he?
00:59:21How serious is it?
00:59:23He was lucky. The wound barely missed his heart.
00:59:29I never thought.
00:59:31He swore on his soul to have nothing to do with me.
00:59:37And yet, he saved me again.
00:59:43Aurora.
00:59:46Aurora.
00:59:51Aurora!
00:59:53Aurora?
00:59:58You're awake!
01:00:00You're awake!
01:00:01You're awake!
01:00:03Adrian, you're sweating so much.
01:00:06Here, wipe your face.
01:00:10I had such a long dream.
01:00:16I dreamt we were married.
01:00:18We would fight every day.
01:00:21But I'd always give in.
01:00:24Until one day.
01:00:27The city walls were breached.
01:00:30I barely got you out.
01:00:33But you came back.
01:00:35To throw yourself from the tower.
01:00:42Aurora.
01:00:44These things in my head.
01:00:46Is any of it real?
01:00:48Is any of it real?
01:00:50Is any of it real?
01:00:52Because you've been through it.
01:00:54So you're marrying into the north, aren't you?
01:01:01Go back, General.
01:01:02I have to leave now.
01:01:09Aurora!
01:01:14Just stay with me.
01:01:16I'll protect you.
01:01:17I die for you.
01:01:24Aurora!
01:01:28Adrian!
01:01:30Adrian.
01:01:31My debt to you is paid.
01:01:40Consider my debt from our past life paid.
01:01:44From now on, we are nothing to each other.
01:01:48Aurora!
01:01:49Aurora!
01:01:50Aurora!
01:02:12My lady!
01:02:15My lady!
01:02:23Why'd you come?
01:02:25Afraid I'd run off?
01:02:27I am.
01:02:29Scared to death.
01:02:33All right.
01:02:34Then take me home.
01:02:37Yes.
01:02:38I'm taking you home.
01:02:53Daddy!
01:02:58Kaelin.
01:02:59He wasn't lying.
01:03:01He really never remarried.
01:03:02He died peacefully at 80.
01:03:04And I was the only wife by his side.
01:03:07He never set foot in the central places again.
01:03:21To have met you princess has been the honor of my life in another life.
01:03:34I wish we'd met sooner.
01:03:42I saw him through to the end.
01:03:46Here, in this foreign land.
01:03:48The only one I had left is gone.
01:03:53Now, I'm all alone in this vast, empty world.
01:03:59He kept the longbow from the year we rode together.
01:04:27I am Adrian.
01:04:29Welcome, your highness.
01:04:33Let's go home.
01:04:4050 years on the frontier.
01:04:42It's time to go home.
01:04:44With Kaelin's beau, I died at home.
01:04:48And Adrian, he never married.
