Original subtitles

Everything a wife is supposed to do,

I shall do it, and I shall do it well.

Is that all a wife should do?

Chavala prevented me from ascending to the rank of Khun.

- A ghost! - I'm a servant taking care of this house.

You slimy creep! You crusty toenail! You fool!

Did you know that I couldn't sleep for four nights?!

I kept getting spooked by noises!

I can't live happily because of you!

That necklace was always around my father's neck.

How am I supposed to face my parents when I die?

Can you see now that they're important?

You can cause others pain without remorse.

You are really high-born, but nothing else is high about you.

ALL MASTER PRAI'S DISCIPLES, BE PREPARED WE SHALL HOLD THE POWER OF THIS NATION

Look at what they did, sir.

They even cut off a child's head.

Sir.

Those who killed and disemboweled people like this

are monstrously cruel!

They killed my husband!

They violated my daughter!

You could've just taken what you wanted. Why did you have to do any of this?

Prai is a monster, not human anymore.

Luang Bovorntat, sir. A huntsman told me

there's a group of people in the woods

not far from here. They've set up a camp.

I'm suspecting it's Prai's people.

I shall take a look.

You want this?

We might be outnumbered,

but with skill, victory shall not be difficult.

They are on break.

It's the right time

to strike.

It's important to strike fast with full force.

The faster our strike,

the less harm we shall endure.

Ready?

Once I give my signal,

we shall strike all at once, My Lord.

Hm.

- Get all of them! - Hey!

Come here!

Damn it, Yong!

No one comes to our aid!

They betrayed us!

Compose yourselves!

Survive this!

This is an order!

Yes, sir!

Where is Prai?!

I am here!

Prai?

Die!

Their blade masteries are well matched.

The rumor that Pansaeng and Prai once were under the same master

seems to be true.

Brother. Let's talk first.

I'm not your brother.

Everyone calls you the sorcerer

because they don't know me.

Now, I…

shall make the world realize

that it's me who is the great sorcerer!

Come here!

Oh.

Laor. Why is the shrine all dusty?

I'm afraid, My Lady.

I couldn't bring myself to clean this room.

There's nothing in here. Come.

Here. Khun Saengplarn said these are just toys.

Hm.

You shall die today!

Don't be afraid.

- What?! - Va!

Laor! Laor!

Our fates shall not be decided this day.

Prai.

- Laor. - Yes?

Khun Saengplarn is now fighting off thieves. Would he be all right?

Va! How did it come back?!

I'm scared, Va.

There. You traitor.

You fled the battlefield.

You let your fellow soldiers go into battle

while you and your men just watched!

Yet you dare call yourself human?

What do you think you're doing?

Luang Bovorntat is the heir to the governor of Chiang Rung.

He is royalty!

Know your place, peasant!

You think you're so high and mighty.

But mind your actions for once.

You wish to have it all,

but never give anything.

Hence, you need not call yourself a highborn.

You and Prai

trained in the same monastery,

under the same master. I don't trust you.

So, I decided not to join you. Got a problem with that?

- You… - Stop!

Sir. Sir.

- Sir. - Sir!

What's the matter, sir?!

Yong. I shall get the physician. Join me at the camp!

Sir. Sir.

Hang in there, sir.

Yong, let's go. Let's go, sir.

Let's go, sir.

I thought you were invincible.

How is he doing?

He is safe, My Lady.

The physician treated his wound.

We shall leave him under your care, My Lady.

Was Prai that powerful?

If Khun Saengplarn couldn't defeat him,

no one could, My Lady.

ALL MASTER PRAI'S DISCIPLES, BE PREPARED WE SHALL HOLD THE POWER OF THIS NATION

"All Master Prai's disciples, be prepared.

We shall hold the power of this nation."

It seems that Prai is rallying his forces.

Prai had his own monastery with countless disciples.

Those who wished to have magic

to use in their fights with enemies

eventually became thieves like Prai.

I wonder what he's gathering them for.

They would do nothing but rob and incite chaos.

Ayothaya shall soon

face a time of turmoil.

No. Help me.

Die!

Go!

Ugh!

No! No!

- Come here! - Let go!

Dear!

Mother!

Come here!

No!

Stop! Come here!

You, search that house! Take everything you can!

Don't hurt Phueng! Don't hurt Phueng!

Help!

Don't hurt Phueng!

Don't!

Help! Anyone, please help!

Help me!

Anyone! Help!

Don't. No.

Don't hurt Phueng. Don't hurt Phueng.

No. Help.

Don't.

Anyone, please help me.

Anyone, help.

Phueng! Don't hurt Phueng!

No! Don't hurt Phueng! No!

- Sir. Sir. - Help me!

- Sir. Sir. - No, Phueng!

- Sir. - No! No!

Anyone!

Sir.

You are fine, sir. You are all right.

Phueng.

You are all right.

I couldn't fight them.

It is but a nightmare.

It is only in your dream, sir.

What?

Why are you here?

Were you asleep and didn't know anything all this time?

Why?

You…

It was nothing.

Well, please continue your sleep.

You can stay.

I shall cool you down with a cloth.

The food is ready, My Lady.

The food is here. You should have some, and I shall give you medicine, sir.

And where is Tian?

He just went to sleep, sir. He was up all night making herbal medicine.

Sir. You are unwell now.

If we meant to kill you, you'd already be dead by now.

- Please excuse me, My Lady. - Yes.

Have some, sir.

Dear! Are you all right?!

My apologies.

I meant to come to inform you, but Lady Pim wouldn't listen.

Lady Pim has been close to him since before you were even born.

I heard that you are unwell.

I was frightened.

Lady Chavala, please move aside.

I have brought a Western physician.

My dear.

My condition is not severe now, My Lady.

You shouldn't have to

burden yourself with all this.

You can leave if you want.

I shall take care of him today.

Yes, My Lady.

Then, please excuse me.

She isn't even his wife, yet she thinks she can do this.

She is out of line, Va.

It's fine, Laor. We now have time to relax.

Come.

It hurts.

Here.

Ouch! It hurts.

Hey.

Go rinse these rambutans.

Are you talking to me?

Obviously.

What kind of kitchen is this? There's nothing in here.

The daughter of Praya who fell from grace?

Ugh. Do it yourself then.

I shall be falling from grace somewhere else.

Oh? What an arrogant servant. Where are you going?

You must be oppressed all your life.

But you need not do what you've been done to.

You should try using kind words,

and maybe your painful life shall be better.

I am doing well.

Oh. A fly doesn't realize

that it's in a pile of dung.

Those with peaceful minds share their kindness with others.

They would say polite words and ask for favors nicely.

With that, anyone would gladly help.

I don't understand what you're saying, but I know

that you've insulted me, you lowly servant.

- Well? - You wicked child!

You shall die today!

Come here.

- You're done. - Let go of me!

Hey! Hey! What are you doing?!

Stop it. Stop!

I shall get you one day!

The day you were married,

things were really out of hand.

Pim was heartbroken.

She has been crying every day.

She refused to eat or sleep.

Lately, she wouldn't even drink water.

If you hurt your father and mother this way,

I shall get this one man for you.

Dear, Pansaeng is already married. If Pim becomes his second wife,

it would bring shame to all of us.

I shall discuss with his wife, if she is fine with this.

I love Pansaeng.

I can take it.

I shall be his wife, even if there's one before me.

Pim!

Did Lady speak that way, My Lord?

Yes. She is willing.

My wife and I are also willing.

I shall leave it to you, Pansaeng.

Think it through.

Discuss it with your wife.

The physician gave me the medicine.

I shall come to this house

and take care of you every day.

You shouldn't, My Lady.

People would criticize you.

Everyone in the city knew

that Father allowed me to be with you.

My Lady.

I told you

I could not let you go.

My Lady.

Why would you confine the love in your heart?

Please let it go.

You must set your heart free, My Lady.

If I let it go,

my heart would be empty.

A heart without love

is like a life without strength

to even breathe.

I want to be by your side, dear.

I shall not be anywhere else but here.

Please understand me.

Have mercy on me.

And give Father your word that we shall be married.

Lady Pim.

Please.

Forgive my intrusion.

It's all right, My Lord.

We are talking about the wedding here.

Wedding?

You meant another wedding?

Yes, My Lord.

Please have a seat, My Lord.

I shall get to the kitchen.

May I invite you to eat with us, My Lord?

Yes.

The wedding hasn't happened, My Lord.

So, the talk about how Jaokhun Kaew

allowed Lady Pim to be with you

seems to be the truth.

They're all talking about it now?

- Oh. - Lady Pim is a determined woman.

If the two of you are to be wed,

I believe much good will come of it.

- Good, My Lord? - Hm.

Jaokhun Kaewkarop is of ancient and distinguished heritage.

Every noble family respects him.

If you become his in-law, you shall surely rise

to the rank of Grand Chancellor one day.

Ooh.

My thanks to you, My Lord.

I shall drink happily tonight.

You kept drinking, but didn't have any progress.

Your sister has been married to Pansaeng for a month,

and you still couldn't get him.

Hey. The other day,

Pansaeng was slashed by Prai's blade. He is now badly injured.

Take this opportunity. Do something.

Yes, My Lord. Once I got rid of Pansaeng,

shall I be promoted right away?

Yes. You have my word.

Put this herb in the food for him to eat.

Is it a love potion or poison?

You…

Wait, brother.

You are my sister!

You choose your husband over me?

You are getting more violent each day.

Drink less and you may become more human!

It's you who never cares about me,

a man who's stuck being a customs officer at this age.

Listen to me. If our parents were still alive,

they wouldn't be upset about you being just a Muen.

But they would hate you if you planned to poison someone.

Father and Mother

had always hated me.

They never saw any good in me.

To them,

you were the only child they ever had, Chavala!

To the battle!

Chai.

The only thing you do is play, and you still can't read.

Your sister can write a page now.

To hell with it.

Stop it.

Chai! I said stop!

Are you fascinated by this?

Yes.

Do you know what Dharmachakra

truly symbolizes?

I do, Father.

Hm?

It is the wheel of Dharma that keeps turning.

In the dark days, we shall wait.

When the time comes, we shall fight villainy.

In the end, Dharma shall prevail.

You really are the brightest.

Perhaps you've listened in

while I taught my students.

You've told them to recite it so many times that I can remember it.

Hm.

Father.

I've caught a big shrimp. Here. Did I do well?

From now on,

you need not eavesdrop.

Come in and study with them.

Yes.

What a bright girl.

Here, look at my shrimp, Father.

I've caught it by myself.

We shall eat this shrimp today, Father.

Since we were young,

you were loved by our grandparents.

Everyone was so thrilled by you being quick-witted,

adorable, and clingy.

But you can't compare me to yourself.

You are your own person. And so am I.

But being a fun-loving child

in a prestigious noble family was different.

They were not proud of me. But with you,

our kin always wished

you had been born a boy.

They've never thought about the feeling of a boy

who was there in front of them!

No one has ever thought about me!

Never ever!

Chai.

Chai.

Chai…

Your breakfast, sir.

I've prepared the food.

You can take those away.

Yes.

Wait.

Stay with me.

But I brought Kaeng thepho,

your favorite.

Hey.

Do you have palm seeds in syrup?

Sir?

Palm seeds in syrup.

I have them. I have palm seeds in syrup.

Can I have palm seeds in syrup?

Yes, sir.

Lady Va crafts delicious meals and sweets, especially palm seeds in syrup.

Would you like to try some, Lady Pim?

Yes.

Shouldn't you be eating your meal first, dear?

Here, My Lady.

We should thank Lady Va.

She sought out the finest palm seeds

and boiled sugar from Phetchaburi in jasmine-infused water.

She went through all that for me.

This is the best kind of medicine.

A gaze can be avoided.

A voice can be ignored.

But a scent…

Before I even realized,

my heart had already wandered too far into yours.

My cozy little soul.

Dear.

Isn't this too much?

Lady Pim.

I shall never forget how you took care of me.

But please don't come back here again.

Pansaeng.

I owe an immense debt of gratitude to Master Kaew.

I shall not let people speak ill of his daughter.

You are a lady of high birth.

I would like you to forever be in your high place.

You only fell for her

for this moment.

Before long, you'll be tired of her.

This woman is…

merely a leech

that is feeding off your flesh and blood.

In no time, you shall realize who truly loves you.

My Lady. My Lady.

My Lady! Would you really leave?

Only this time.

You think you can win against me?

It shall not be easy.

- What you did… - I was only pretending.

I know.

You've been pretending from the very beginning, and you still keep it up.

It's good that you know.

No one is more deceitful than you.

You lied in front of the magistrate. You lied about a ghost. You lied…

You truly are cunning.

I haven't lied about everything.

You really took care of everything well.

For all that, I owe you. You truly have my thanks.

My cozy little soul?

Ew.

But judging from Lady Pim's face,

she seems quite distressed, sir.

If I hadn't been as harsh as I was,

Lady Pim wouldn't be able to forget me.

People say that

you shall take Lady Pim as a second wife.

No.

In this life, I shall take no wife.

Not Lady Pim, or even you.

My life is consumed by work.

I won't be able to live a family life.

But if you feel the need to leave,

then leave.

I am here.

Why are you assassinating me?

I hate you!

Does the illegal caravan belong to you?

Who are you working for?

I hate you.

Hey!

Tian! You scared me. Where did you come from?

Are you healed, sir?

Yes.

Who is it?

Va. It's me.

Chai?

Help me, Va. Don't let Pansaeng find me.

What are you doing here?

Well, move.

Tian!

This is no time to play. Well,

help me find the thief.

Go look that way.

If someone resembles a thief, call for me loudly.

Yes, sir.

A thief?

Are you a thief?

Chai, what are you doing?

Chai.

Father and Mother loved you,

but they never loved me.

And what of you? Do you love me?

Let's go to the kitchen. Go.

Go to the kitchen, brother.

Go.

Lady Va.

Lady Va.

- Lady Va. - Yes, yes.

Sir! Someone ran to the canal

and jumped in there.

Wait here and be careful. Close the door.

Yes, sir.

Brother.

Walk along this canal, and you shall arrive near Wat Chedi.

You have my thanks, sister.

Hurry. I shall watch out for you. Go.

Sir. What are you doing out here?

Aren't you unwell?

What are you looking for, sir?

So, it's your brother's blood.

He came to kill me,

and you saved him.

Had I died, you would surely be celebrating.

No, sir.

Sir, it's not what you think--

I shall find a way to make him talk.

What would you like to know? Is it about the caravan?

I shall talk him

- into confessing everything. - It's futile to try.

From now on,

there shall be

no trust between us.

You were pretending to be unwell to fool everyone,

including us, sir?

Me as well.

My apologies, My Lord.

I was so frightened, sir. That day, I fell while running to the physician.

Thank goodness my head was only bruised.

But we saw you bleeding.

It was illusion magic.

But Prai's magic is not to be trifled with, My Lord.

He left me bedridden with a fever for days.

And you pretended to be unwell in front of Luang Bovorntat

to fool them as well?

Yes, My Lord.

Luang Bovorntat owns that caravan.

But I have no evidence.

Is it Luang Bovorntat who is planning an insurrection?

He is wealthy and powerful. He possesses everything a man could ever desire.

Yet he seeks even more absolute power.

He presents himself as royalty.

He is young and holds only the rank of Luang,

yet he is remarkably powerful.

Truly, he is a force to be reckoned with.

But Muen Vorachai is injured right now.

Shall we seize him and extract the truth, sir?

Even if Muen Vorachai mentions Luang Bovorntat,

he would surely deny any involvement.

- Ming. - Yes, sir.

Tomorrow, I want you to search for evidence at Muen Vorachai's house.

Find out if there are any connections to Luang Bovorntat.

We made Dawei salad today, sir. It's really tasty.

I shall not have it.

Tian!

Tian! Where is my food?

Ugh. Such a sluggish boy.

But you've been enjoying the meals I prepared for days.

I said I don't want it.

Laor.

Take these away and bring Tian to me.

Yes, sir.

From tomorrow onwards,

I request your permission to move back to my home, sir.

I shall reunite with the servants in that house

and find a way to start a new life somewhere.

Fine.

From now on,

there shall be no trust between us.

I want all of you to sell the goods in the market

and make some money.

All of us will be equal to Lady Va.

Come, come. Gather round. Look at this beautiful hat.

Are you interested? Shall you take one?

Aon, stop it. That's a jar.

Here!

A whetstone!

It almost hit my foot!

Aren't you invulnerable, sir?

A stone wouldn't be able to hurt you.

Pansaeng is chasing our caravan again.

It's not Pansaeng down there,

Luang Bovorntat.

To deal with darkness, we need to hone dark arts!

You'll love my sister. Your magic will fade.

I shall stomp you.
