[Fated Hearts]
[Episode 15]
First Prince.
Since His Majesty no longer holds him accountable,
then please leave the punishment
of General Xun to me.
Sure.
First Prince!
You've gone too far!
Princess Xiyang's wedding is just around the corner.
I hope you'll keep the bigger picture in mind
and not break royal protocol, First Prince.
You want dignity?
Then listen carefully.
From now on, if anyone dares
to harm Fu Yixiao again,
I'll definitely kill them.
[Ning'an Hall]
[Wutong Mansion]
[Wutong Mansion]
Where is he?
Guess who I am?
Why did you do that?
Are you in a bad mood?
Which blind fool
[Wutong Mansion]
had the nerve to offend our First Prince?
Weren't you supposed to be at the border
with the Elder Marquis?
Why are you suddenly back?
Well, it's Princess Xiyang's wedding soon, isn't it?
Can't our Murong family
at least send someone back
to attend the ceremony?
I was going to come back alone,
but my father insisted on coming with me.
The Elder Marquis is back in Yujing too?
Yes.
Since you're in a bad mood,
how about I go with you for a couple of drinks?
Please let the Elder Marquis know
that I'll definitely pay him a visit
in person when I have the time.
You really aren't coming drinking with me?
I'll go by myself then.
Go ahead.
I'm really going, you know?
Just go.
Lu Ke.
Lu Ke.
What exactly happened
in the court today?
His Highness acted rashly today.
Why was His Highness
removed from the position of secondary officiant?
Today, His Highness mentioned the late Empress's death
in front of His Majesty.
But...
Doesn't His Majesty forbid anyone from mentioning...
Since you know it's forbidden, why bring it up?
Weren't you the one who brought it up first?
I know.
All these years,
when has His Highness ever
mentioned this in front of His Majesty?
And it's precisely because of this
that the father and son were able to preserve
the last shred of their bond.
But today,
His Majesty clearly knew Empress Zhuang
wanted to harm Miss Yixiao,
yet he turned a blind eye.
What else could His Highness have done?
His Highness must have thought of
the late Empress's death,
so in a moment of panic,
he spoke without restraint.
Even so,
they shouldn't let the Second Prince
take His Highness's place.
Princess Xiyang
is His Highness's biological sister,
and His Highness
is His Majesty's eldest son.
By every measureโemotionally, logically, publicly, and privatelyโ
this matter shouldn't have ended up like this.
From now on, you may say
such things in front of me,
but keep your mouth shut out there.
You think His Highness doesn't have enough on his plate already?
His Highness fought for Susha
on bloody battlefields.
But in the end,
who appreciates what he's done?
I shouldn't have let him go in the first place.
Shouldn't have let him go?
Would he have listened to you?
Once His Highness makes a decision,
who can stop him?
Back then, it was people from Jinxiu
who kept trying to assassinate Miss Yixiao.
But now,
someone from our Susha Kingdom wants to kill her,
right under His Highness's nose.
How could he not intervene?
Others may not understand
why His Highness did that,
but both of us know clearly
that he did it just to
send a message to Prime Minister Zhuang, Empress Zhuang,
and everyone else that
from now on, anyone who dares lay a hand on Miss Yixiao
will meet the same fate as Xun Xiang.
I really don't know whether you're truly clever
or just pretending to be.
It seems the First Prince
has completely enraged His Majesty this time.
Do you think His Majesty's actions
indicate he intends to appoint Chengyang
as the Crown Prince?
His Majesty's mind is hard to read.
It's still too early
to speculate about that.
However,
I've already sent people to spread this matter
widely outside the palace.
By now, throughout Yujing City,
I believe everyone has known that the First Prince
has lost the Emperor's favor.
In that case,
the situation becomes
even more favorable to us.
That Feng Suige
is still too young and naive,
thinking he can challenge us.
How many times have I told you
that Feng Suige
is not as simple as you imagine.
You mustn't let your guard down.
As for the matter of the ritual,
it seems to me that he doesn't care at all.
Father, why do you always build up others' presence
at the cost of our own authority?
In my opinion,
he simply can't let go of
the grievances his mother suffered,
thus he keeps looking for ways to pick fights with us.
Mother!
Greetings, Mother.
Greetings, Grandfather.
Why are you running in such a hurry?
Look at you, sweating all over.
Be careful not to catch a cold.
Mother,
why has Father suddenly assigned me
to serve as the secondary officiant at the Ancestral Ceremony?
What about Brother?
Anything happened to him?
Why do you care about him?
Just remember this:
listen to your father
and don't go against him.
There will be plenty of benefits for you in the future.
Don't follow your brother's example.
I don't know what Brother
has done wrong,
but he's definitely not that kind of person.
You may see him as your brother,
but he might not treat you the same way.
Don't overthink it.
Your father must have his reasons
for making such arrangements.
Just listen to your mother.
Don't defy His Majesty
or make him angry.
But according to ancestral tradition,
the role of secondary officiant at the Ancestral Ceremony
should be performed by Brother.
If I take Brother's place,
then how will
the court officials
and the citizens of Yujing City
view him in the future?
And how will Brother be able to
hold his head up in Yujing City after that?
I'll go ask Father
to revoke his decree right now.
If you dare to go ask your father that,
then from now on,
don't call me Mother anymore!
Chengyang.
Your mother is doing this for your own good.
Don't let her down.
[In Memory of Late Mother Qingyu]
Issue this order:
from now on, no one
is allowed to mention the late Empress.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Father,
Mother was wronged.
She wasn't a spy of Jinxiu.
I beg you to uncover the truth, Father.
Father!
Father!
Mother was wronged!
Father!
Father!
[Eternal Radiance of Virtue]
Stop.
If you still refuse to address her properly today,
I will no longer consider you my son.
[Grace in Blessed Accord]
First Prince,
don't make your father
worry about this matter anymore.
He's already burdened with state affairs.
Can't you be a bit more considerate
of your father?
He's only asking you to call me "Mother."
Why are you so unwilling to say it?
In your dreams.
Beat him.
[In Memory of Late Mother Qingyu]
Mother,
if you were still around,
[Eternal Radiance of Virtue]
you wouldn't want me
to defy him like this.
But he isn't worthy of being a father,
let alone of being your husband.
[In Memory of Late Mother Qingyu]
[Virtuous and Serene, Honored in Peace]
[Virtuous and Serene, Honored in Peace]
Why are you here?
You were paying respects to your mother.
I didn't want to disturb you,
so I waited outside.
Have you been waiting long?
I remembered some
clues about Meng Junran.
Would you like to check them out with me?
Sure.
Come with me.
This is what the wedding envoy asked me
to deliver to you, Prince of Zhennan.
He said it was bestowed by the Emperor.
Prince of Zhennan,
if you have no other matters,
I shall take my leave.
By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor of Jinxiu
decrees:
Prince of Zhennan,
Xia Jingshi,
excels in both civil and military affairs.
Since taking charge of the border defense,
the Prince of Zhennan has been able to share my burdens,
truly serving as my right-hand man.
His Highness is already in this condition,
yet you're still going on and on reading?
Where was I?
You...
By the...
Mandate of Heaven,
the Emperor of Jinxiu
decrees...
So it is commanded.
Are you finished reading?
Give me the antidote!
[Uphold Virtue to Honor the Ancients]
[Uphold Virtue to Honor the Ancients]
Ning Fei, escort Mr. Gao out.
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
Here.
Your Highness, you...
Why are you doing this?
If I have to wait for
the Emperor's antidote every month,
when will I ever break free?
From now on,
I must start saving the antidotes.
Only then
will I have a way out.
But if you only take half a pill,
its effect will definitely be halved.
What if...
Even if I'm in unbearable pain,
you absolutely must not give me
this half pill.
This is a military order.
Understood?
Yes.
Your Highness!
What's wrong, Your Highness?
Are you alright?
Don't worry.
I'll stay by your side.
I won't leave.
Is this what you need?
Were you feeling ill just now, Your Highness?
Shall I summon an imperial physician?
That won't be necessary.
Your Highness is unwilling to see a physician.
Is it because you don't want Susha
to know you're sick?
Rest assured.
I will keep your secret
and won't mention it to anyone.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I'll head back now.
Rest early, Your Highness.
I know what you want, Your Highness,
so you need not worry about this.
Take care.
Is the clue you were talking about here?
Of course not.
So you deliberately tricked me into coming here?
There's a Zi'an Lake in Pingling City.
In the past, when I was in a bad mood
or had troubles,
besides practicing archery,
I would find a boat
and lie down in it,
letting it drift on the water,
floating away.
As it drifted,
all my troubles would drift away too.
Are you remembering things from the past?
I've been remembering quite a bit, on and off.
Why are you still standing there?
Come and join me.
I've heard about what happened today.
So your father
really had someone
take your place at the Ancestral Ceremony?
I don't care about any of that.
What you actually care more about is
your mother's death,
right?
How did your mother pass away?
If you don't want to talk about it,
you don't have to.
15 years ago,
Zhuang Shen and his daughter
captured several Jinxiu spies.
Those people actually confessed
that my mother was also a Jinxiu spy.
Then her personal maid
also came forward to testify against her,
claiming that my mother
had secretly met with people from Jinxiu.
All evidence pointed to her.
Is this Her Majesty's letter?
Yes,
this is indeed Her Majesty's
letter of treason.
Later, my mother passed away.
Those Jinxiu spies
committed suicide in prison,
and her personal maid
also died of illness shortly after.
It was all Zhuang Shen and Empress Zhuang's doing, right?
They were very careful
and destroyed all the evidence.
But I know it must have been them.
If you say so, then it must be true.
Although my hand injury
hasn't completely healed yet,
within 50 paces,
I can still shoot with perfect accuracy.
If you need me to,
I can take the lives of Zhuang Shen
and his daughter for you.
If you kill them now,
my mother will never
have her name cleared.
You mentioned before
that your study companions,
the old nursemaids and others
all betrayed your trust
and wanted to harm you.
This must also be connected
to Zhuang Shen and his daughter, right?
Yes, indeed.
They wanted to get rid of me completely,
but of course I wouldn't let them get what they want.
When I was 14,
I secretly left the imperial palace
and joined the army under a false identity.
During those years, everyone
truly believed I was dead.
From now on, I'll protect you
and make sure no one can hurt you.
โช The rain drifts endlessly โช
โช The old dream burns the heart โช
โช Dreams sink into ruin โช
โช Missing the warmth of your palm โช
โช Awaiting dusk โช
โช Shadows take root in the mountain pass โช
What's wrong?
Why are you looking at me like that?
โช In just a moment, tears stained โช
This is the first time anyone has said to me
that they'd protect me.
After all, it was because of me
โช Amid the bustling sound of wind and rain โช
that you fell out with your father.
I don't like being in anyone's debt.
โช Who laughs at me, heart cold as the desert? โช
From now on,
as long as I'm still in your residence,
โช Dreams turn through a lifetime โช
it'll be my duty to protect you.
โช Who sighs for me, enduring separations? โช
โช Love is a trial, harsh and cold โช
โช Who crushes the lingering pain for me? โช
โช The clouds perish โช
[Murong Residence]
Father,
are you still reviewing documents?
You've already returned to Yujing City.
Why worry about those military affairs?
You really think
you're still in your prime?
[Marquis of Changle, Murong Zhong]
Don't you care about your medicine-weakened body?
I've always told you
that military matters, big or small,
must be handled
on the same day they arise.
Otherwise,
if the border's security is compromised,
how could I live up to
His Majesty's trust and reliance
over all these years?
If His Majesty truly relied on you,
he wouldn't have sent you to the northwest in the first place.
You little brat.
What nonsense are you muttering about?
I just feel sorry for you.
Back then, you fought
alongside His Majesty
and ended up with all those injuries and ailments.
His Majesty knows this perfectly well,
so why would he still send you to
that bitterly cold place in the northwest?
Every time you come back,
you're bedridden for 10 days or even half a month.
If you ask me,
you might as well retire early.
What do you know?
As loyal subjects,
we must be ready to die on the frontier,
wrapped in our own cloaks.
Only then can we truly be worthy of
the high positions and generous rewards
His Majesty has bestowed upon us.
Right.
Today, I had an audience with His Majesty,
and His Majesty asked me
if I wanted to be transferred back to the capital.
Really?
I refused.
As you said,
the northwestern border
is a bitterly cold and harsh place.
None of the court officials
are willing to be stationed there.
But that's precisely
why I must stay at the northwestern border.
Only by doing so
can I help ease His Majesty's burdens.
Yes, Father.
You're absolutely right.
Also,
His Majesty told me
he wants to train you properly.
He plans to take advantage of
the Princess's wedding
to temporarily
hand you the position of
Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards,
putting you in charge of the capital's security.
Leading the Imperial Guards?
Father,
you didn't agree to it... Did you?
What day is it today?
Why are so many people releasing lotus lanterns?
The Princess is getting married.
The common people all want to share
in the royal family's joy.
That's why they're
releasing lotus lanterns here for blessings.
So what wish do you have?
Tell me,
and I can help you make it come true.
I wish to grow old together
with the person by my side
and live a peaceful and happy life.
My wish
[I wish to grow old together with the person by my side]
is the same as what's written here.
[and live a peaceful and happy life.]
โช Take down the setting sun as my heart โช
What is it?
โช Fold the heaven and earth to make my wings โช
It's a wish about you, anyways.
Exactly what wish is it?
โช If fate shows no mercy โช
Let me see.
โช Then don't blame my recklessness โช
You're so petty. Why won't you let me see it?
My wish is...
โช I thought this life would drift like a solitary sail โช
What is it?
โช Yet I chanced upon you in the smoke-filled alleyway โช
My wish is
for you to be
โช Like a fleeting flower falling into โช
safe and happy.
โช My eyes โช
That's all?
โช Once I was like a frost-edged sword โช
โช Sweeping across the battlefield in gleaming light โช
Isn't being safe and happy
the most important thing?
โช Never thought who'd lay me to rest โช
Yes,
โช Once unstoppable and sharp โช
it's very important indeed.
โช Now my heart's tied to you โช
What about you?
What's your wish?
โช Thinking of you day and night โช
My wish is the same as yours.
โช I suddenly realize ripples are spreading โช
โช Melting the frost, lingering in my heart โช
What's written on that lotus lantern
is also my wish.
โช The light between your brows โช
โช Is the kind of bloom โช
โช That I love the most โช
You mean...
I wish you can be safe and happy.
โช I truly feel I can forgive it all โช
That's all?
โช The sky's vast and the road's long, but with you by my side โช
Yeah.
Didn't you just say
safety is the most important thing?
โช The twists and turns don't count โช
โช I can tell with tears that I have not lived in vain โช
โช Not in vain โช
Right.
You...
It's nothing.
Feng Suige, listen carefully.
If you encounter any
unpleasant things in the future,
โช I suddenly realized what it means to be unmatched โช
don't hide alone
in that dark ancestral hall anymore.
โช What it means to long, what it means to burn โช
Do you hear me?
I understand.
โช The scars left along the way โช
โช In an instant, because of you โช
โช With a smile, they ascend like feathers, spreading in all directions โช
I haven't had any more nightmares
these past few days.
There's no need to put out these flowers anymore.
I'm just placing some bouquets
to freshen up the room, that's all.
If you have spare money for flowers,
you might as well save it
to improve the food in your residence.
Plain soup and simple dishes every day
doesn't seem fitting for a First Prince.
The military funds are tight,
so I have to deduct from my own share.
What do you want to eat?
I'll have the kitchen make it for you.
Don't bother.
I'm not that delicate.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
News just came from the palace:
today, the Second Prince spoke up
for Your Highness in court
and nearly angered His Majesty.
It was only after the senior officials persuaded him
that he finally accepted the position of secondary officiant.
When Chengyang learns about
the grudges between me,
his mother, and his grandfather,
what will he think?
Don't overthink it.
Nothing can be perfect.
As long as your conscience is clear.
By the way,
I suddenly remembered some clues
about Meng Junran.
Before falling off the cliff,
I heard him say
he delivered a batch of silver
to Xia Jingshi.
When will the military funds
you promised be delivered?
Yesterday, 100,000 taels of silver
were already entrusted to
the Rongtong Escort Agency for transport.
The agency responsible for escorting that batch of silver
was the Rongtong Escort Agency of Yujing City.
I know this escort agency.
They'll take on any escort job, no matter how risky,
and they're quite well-known in Yujing City.
Go investigate
and find out who sent goods to Xia Jingshi
through the Rongtong Escort Agency.
Yes.
[Jingming Garden]
Your Highness.
Feng Suige will
attend the Ancestral Ceremony tomorrow.
I will take this opportunity
to meet with Wu Ying.
Find a way to notify Wu Ying,
but make sure no one finds out.
Yes.
Your Highness, please take a look at this.
I calculated the time
and made some inquiries.
Before Miss Yixiao fell off the cliff,
someone did contact the Rongtong Escort Agency
to escort a batch of goods
to Pingling City in Jinxiu.
It was this woman.
Based on the owner's description,
I had someone draw this portrait.
It's just that since it's been too long,
the owner only remembers vaguely.
It's said this woman
seemed quite generous,
but she wouldn't let anyone inquire about her identity.
She said that after arriving in Pingling City,
someone would surely be there to receive the goods.
This woman must have
some connection with that Meng Junran.
Send more people.
Anyone who bears
even the slightest resemblance to this portraitโ
investigate them all thoroughly.
Yes.
Your Highness,
Junior Marquis is here.
Why is he here?
Why can't I be here?
I didn't want to come,
but I heard from my father
that you got in some bad luck, so I came to check on you.
I didn't know
that your father
could order you around.
If you missed me, just say so.
Don't use your father as an excuse.
I planned to drink with you last night,
but just before leaving,
I suddenly learned that His Majesty
wants me to be some Imperial Guards' Commander-in-Chief.
So I decided I didn't want to see
any of you court people.
It even made me
lose sleep last night.
Isn't that as good as His Majesty sentencing me to death?
Why did His Majesty suddenly ask you
to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards?
Who knows?
He said it's to train me.
But you know your father.
What he says and what he thinks
are never the same.
Rather than being an official,
I prefer spending time with the beauties in my mansion,
traveling and enjoying life.
I was thinking of running away
before the imperial edict
was officially issued,
but then I thought,
if I became the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards,
I'd surely be able to help you.
Don't you do that for me.
I know
you hate being tied down the most.
Don't say that.
You already have
little influence at court.
Now that His Majesty has even had the Second Prince
take your place at the Ancestral Ceremony,
how could I leave you behind
and enjoy freedom alone?
So lovey-dovey.
Why don't you two just go get married?
You're jealous, right?
You're definitely jealous.
The beauty in this portrait is...
Is it her that you painted?
Me? Paint her?
No need to hide it.
The one you painted is me.
What's the problem with that?
Right.
I did paint you.
How is it?
Do you like it?
Of course I like it.
My husband painted it for me himself.
I absolutely love it.
I've had enough.
I need to go wash my eyes.
I'm leaving. No need to see me out.
In Yujing City,
whether from noble families
or entertainment boats,
he knows most
of the women there.
With his help,
our investigation will be much easier.
Why didn't you
let me tell him just now?
I just feel
the fewer people who know about this, the better.
I have no hostility toward him.
It's just that every time I see him,
I feel uncomfortable.
I can't explain why.
Could it be that you're really...
Jealous of him?
Alright.
Come on.
From now on, these secrets
will be kept between us.
I won't tell anyone else.
Is that okay?
You and Junior Marquis
seem very close.
I've never seen you treat anyone like that.
Why are you two
so close?
We experienced life and death together.
When we were little, the two of us
went with the Elder Marquis to inspect the border,
and we were suddenly attacked by assassins.
It was thanks to him and the Elder Marquis
that I survived.
No wonder you trust him so much.
This guy
should be considered
my best friend.
Between us,
we could even
give up our lives for each other.
[Jingming Garden]
Not bad.
Today
is my first day in office.
Listen up, you all.
[Jingming Garden]
Everyone going in and out of here
must be thoroughly checked
and rechecked,
especially that Prince of Zhennan.
Whenever he comes out of this gate,
you all need to keep a close eye on him
and monitor him carefully...
To ensure his safety.
Do you understand?
[Jingming Garden]
Yes, My Lord!
Come on, the umbrella.
I don't want to get tanned.
My Lord!
My Lord!
My Lord, something terrible has happened!
What's so terrible?
Everything seems fine to me.
It's not like
the Prince of Zhennan could disappear, right?
The Prince of Zhennan
has indeed disappeared.
Brother!
I'm sorry, Brother.
I shouldn't have taken your place as the secondary officiant.
What are you talking about?
I'm not displeased at all.
Seeing you grown up and becoming so sensible
makes me happy.
Besides, for my sake,
you even risked angering His Majesty.
That proves I still hold
an important place in your heart.
Of course.
That being said, between us brothers,
does it matter who serves as the secondary officiant?
I'm just worried that those officials
and the common people
will gossip about you behind your back.
Then let them be.
You've done nothing wrong,
so you shouldn't feel guilty.
Have you
grown even taller recently?
It seems I've grown quite a bit indeed.
Suige!
Why are you here?
While the guards were changing shifts,
Xia Jingshi slipped out through the back door.
Wu Ying pays respect to Your Eminence.
[Wu Ying from the death camp]
In enemy territory,
one must act with caution in all matters.
One careless moment
could leave you dead with no burial.
You've remained undercover until now
without Susha detecting anything.
Good job.
Thank you, Your Eminence.
After the wedding,
I'll find a way to leave Yujing.
While I'm not here,
you'll lead our men
and coordinate with Susha.
Take this
and make contact at the alley behind the dance house.
Your Eminence,
why must we
risk our lives for those Susha people?
I spoke out of turn.
[Jingming Garden]
So that's what happened.
You couldn't even keep watch over one person.
If His Lordship blames us,
none of you can escape punishment!
And you all!
On my very first day in office,
you already embarrassed me.
And you too!
He's back.
[Jingming Garden]
Where have you been?
Why should I report to you
where I went?
Who did you just meet?
I felt stifled in there, so I went for a walk.
Well, I came to Susha
for the marriage alliance,
not as a hostage.
First Prince, it seems you're in no position
to restrict my freedom, are you?
I was just worried about you.
If you were careless
and died on some street out there,
that would be bad.
Are you threatening me?
So what if he is?
In Jinxiu, you're the Prince of Zhennan.
But here, you're nothing more than
a son-in-law marrying into the royal family.
Yao.
Speak more respectfully to the Prince of Zhennan.
[Jingming Garden]
From today on,
without my written order,
no one is to leave his side even for a moment.
If he slips away again,
I'll have your heads.
Yes, My Lord!
Escort him back to his residence.
[Jingming Garden]
[Jingming Garden]
How was that?
Was my authority convincing?
Make sure you keep a close eye on him.
Rest assured.
[Jingming Garden]
That was obviously a dead-end valley,
but when I caught up,
Xia Jingshi had vanished.
Later, I searched
all the nearby streets and alleys,
but still couldn't find
any trace of him.
It's my incompetence.
Please punish me, Your Highness.
It's not your fault.
Xia Jingshi's escape this time
wasn't an accident.
He planned it in advance.
Someone must have been
helping him from the outside.
But with the wedding approaching,
why would Xia Jingshi
choose to take a risk at such a timing?
Besides, what could he have done
in such a short time?
Or perhaps...
He went to meet someone?
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
Any news?
Yes.
I checked every woman
who resembles the one
in the portrait
and is of similar age
throughout Yujing City,
and I finally pinpointed
a top performer in the dance house named Ruyan.
She must be the one
we're looking for.
Prepare the carriage.
I'll go see for myself.
Drink a bit more.
Can't you let me take a break?
If the medicine gets cold,
it'll lose its effect.
Father, drink it while it's warm.
Father,
what's this medicine you're taking?
Father, are you unwell?
Why haven't I
heard anything from the Imperial Hospital?
Does Mother
know about this?
Allow me to take a break.
I'll drink it later.
These are
just some calming medicines.
My child.
How come you're showing me
such filial piety today?
My wedding day is approaching.
I'm reluctant to leave you, Father.
What's there to be reluctant about?
You're just marrying
the Prince of Zhennan, aren't you?
Besides,
you won't be far from me,
so why the reluctance?
But still, I can't always be
by your and Mother's side to serve you.
Could it be that
you don't like having me by your side, Father?
Of course I do.
How could I not?
Then why did you say all that?
I just
don't want you to worry.
Remember,
after you're married,
no matter what happens,
you must let me know.
I'll always be your support.
The entire Susha
is your support.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Thank you, Father.
Well, I won't drink this.
Give me a massage, will you?
Remember to drink it later.
All right.
Daughters are the best.
Your Majesty.
[Su]
The token has been retrieved.
Shall I put it back to its original place?
[Su]
Yes, put it back.
Your Highness.
His Majesty hasn't been
this happy for many days.
Forgive me for speaking out of turn again.
I shall take my leave now.
Thank you for your service.
Father, if you're tired,
close your eyes and rest for a while.
All right.
