Original subtitles

What are you lot looking at? This is Lady Pimpilai,

the daughter of the Minister.

Is this a military camp or a den of thieves?

Stop right there.

No one shall lay hands upon my people.

Mong, Mong ,Teng, Mong!

Are you this serious, dear?

I am serious, because

I shall come live here as well.

Khun Phra!

Spicy boiled egg salad with pickled garlic.

This food shall help us be excited tonight.

What did she mean by excited?

Please take a bath with me, dear.

Harder!

If the raft house shakes this much,

they must not be pretending.

I hereby cast this curse

upon you and him,

that one day, you shall both suffer in love as I do!

I have matched you with a man

so that you may help me.

But you brought your husband here to kill me!

You keep blaming others.

Have you ever thought of what you did to the servants and me?

Here. Have more of these.

Va. My Lady.

Lady Pim has returned home.

Is that true, Laor?

It is. She has moved all her belongings out of the house.

Laor and I shall tidy up this place, dear.

Well,

you need not hasten.

Perhaps I shall be sleeping here no more.

I shall go into the woods to practice asceticism.

I am to leave once I have gathered my belongings.

Dear.

Once you return from the woods,

shall you stay here again?

Perhaps not.

I shall reside at the camp.

I returned here to convince Lady Pim to leave.

And the deed is done.

Very well.

I shall

do my best to care for this house.

Hm.

Sir!

Do you find me so repugnant

that you would forsake this place?

Please do not hurt me again, sir. I am afraid.

You are ever in my thoughts.

I am lonely.

Saiyud. Shall you embrace me?

I truly love you.

- Sir… - Saiyud.

You know nothing of love!

What you are forcing upon me is lust!

Is it not the same thing?!

No, sir!

If it is truly love,

you would stop

when I told you to stop.

But if it is lust,

would you stop, sir?!

I care not for such things. I shall have you, Saiyud.

Let go of me, sir!

If you keep violating me, Khun Saengplarn's magic

shall make you suffer!

Pansaeng!

Is this not pleasure?!

Why would you torture me for this?!

Please let me go.

Please spare me from more suffering.

I can serve you no more.

Saiyud…

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

What is Prai's intent

in assembling all the thieves and bandits?

Luang Bovorntat is amassing arms for the insurrection.

Both thieves and traitors

are closing in upon Ayothaya.

I shall not be weakened by a woman.

No.

What are you doing, Saiyud?

I can smell the fragrance from the river.

It is Lady Va's perfume.

She made it for me long ago,

but I have never used it, since there were wounds all over.

You need not serve Muen Vorachai at night any longer?

Yes. There shall be no pain,

and I shall be clean.

This is most pleasant.

Clean…

and fragrant as well.

Here. I shall help you.

- Aon! - What are you doing with my woman, Aon?!

Saiyud is mine.

How dare you lay hands upon your master's woman?

You bastard!

- Ngiam! - Yes, sir!

Punish him!

And you! You have refused to lie with me!

But you let Aon touch you.

You shall die. Ngiam.

Stab him with a knife.

Must we take his life, sir?

If you kill him,

I shall give you ten hun of gold.

I shall hold you to your word.

Yes!

Die, Aon!

Careful, Aon!

Aon!

Argh!

Aon!

Aon.

Aon! You!

Aon, run! Aon! Go!

You vile servant!

You both have betrayed me!

Do not ever show your faces here again!

Quick!

You must flee.

Ngiam is injured, and Muen Vorachai shall call for the judge to arrest you.

And what of you?

He can do me no harm.

But you are the one he has long disdained.

When Ngiam is wounded,

he shall seize the chance to get rid of you. Go!

But where should I go?

To Khun Saengplarn's house. Tell this to Lady Va. Do you understand?

- Go. - Saiyud.

- Saiyud. - Go. Go!

Worry not about me. Go!

Go.

He cannot harm others,

so he made Ngiam do it?

Aon. Wait here.

I shall talk to Chai.

- My Lady. My Lady! - Va! Please wait.

- Va! - Laor!

I should not have panicked.

Now everyone is troubled.

Jerm! Not so tight! It hurts!

Fine.

What are you screaming for?!

It is but a small wound.

Here you are, wicked sister.

You are the one who made Aon so insolent.

And who do you think started it?

I shall report this to the judge.

This servant shall not be in my place!

Good! We shall go together.

I shall reveal all the atrocities you inflicted upon each of the servants!

Very well! We shall stand before the judge together.

I shall not stop

until I put him in prison!

Saiyud. Jerm. Noi.

All of you. Go and be my witnesses.

I care about my parents' reputation no longer.

I shall tell

of every wound they have endured.

All of you, brothers and sisters, listen.

Khun Saengplarn is now willing to protect us.

You need not fear.

Laor! What are you saying?!

My apologies, sir.

I shall be

a witness for Lady Va.

Saiyud!

Aon is a good man who has always helped us.

Shall you all be at peace with him being imprisoned?

I shall be her witness.

Noi!

Lady Va and Laor do not live in this house,

but we do.

Muen Vorachai cannot hurt us, but he can make Ngiam or others do it.

I am pregnant.

I don't want our child

to suffer the way we did.

Someone must stop him.

You peasants! How ungrateful!

I am your master!

I am the one

who owns every morsel you eat!

You lot shall not do this to me!

We shall continue to respect you

and be your servants for the rest of our lives.

But Ngiam does not suffer a fatal wound.

Please do not punish Aon.

But he is your paramour!

Why must I stand down?!

No, sir.

You are the only man I shall be with.

Chavala.

You wicked sister.

I shall let you go this time.

But Aon

must stay away from me.

He has always been the one to challenge me.

This time,

he aimed to take my woman.

I shall keep him no longer! He can go die wherever he wants.

Very well. It is settled, brother.

Ngiam.

Yes, My Lady?

From now on, do not ever let Chai hurt anyone ever again.

And do not commit the deeds for him,

or you shall be affected by Khun Saengplarn's magic!

I have warned you.

Chavala! How audacious!

You have no authority to command my people!

You madwoman!

You wicked sister!

The premature deaths of young men often come from

impulsiveness.

They fight to death over a few words.

Today, I shall teach you about calmness

and also patience.

Together, shout "patience" 50 times!

- Patience! - Patience!

- Patience! - Patience!

- Yong. - Hm?

Look.

His eyes sparkled.

They have not seen each other for days.

Muen Vorachai ordered someone to harm Aon?

Yes. Then, Aon slashed Ngiam in the arm.

Chai was furious and would not forgive him.

Now,

Aon has already come to our house.

So, I am here to ask your permission

to let Aon stay in your house. Shall you allow him?

Are you asking that a manservant reside in my home?

- Patience! - Patience!

- Patience! - Patience!

- Patience! - Patience!

- Patience! - Patience!

I am well aware that you value your solitude.

Well, shall you let Aon stay in the raft house

and tend to your crops in the field

as payment for his food and bed?

- It is the first time you are here. - Yes.

You have never been to this camp.

And now you ask that a man take residence in my home?

Well, dear.

He is not just any man. He was raised alongside me.

- Patience! - Patience!

- Patience! - Patience!

Hey!

Will you cease your shouting?!

Forgive us, sir.

Carry on running!

Well…

Shall your answer

be yes or no?

Please, dear.

All right, fine. Fine!

Let him stay if he so wishes!

I am a generous soul after all!

True.

- Patience! Patience! - You have my thanks.

- Patience! - Patience!

- Patience! - Patience!

Your meal, sir.

What is this food?!

This tastes awful!

You can ask Noi to cook for you as before, sir.

I do not know how to cook.

How could I? They have all taken Chavala's side.

They can poison my food at any time.

My clothes

and belongings shall be attended to by none but you.

Do not ever let them touch any of it.

Sir! Then I must do all the labor!

Sir. Shall we try this?

I heard that there is one shaman residing in Pa Muang.

Would you seek the shaman's help in lifting this curse?

A shaman?

Well,

what aid do you seek from him?

I am Muen Vorachai.

I have more wealth to recompense Master Saenkam than anyone here.

Master. He is a nobleman.

A buffalo hide, cursed within the stomach?

Such condemned sorcery.

It shall not be difficult to remove.

Lie down.

Wait.

You are from the town afar.

No one knows who you truly are.

But I am a civil servant of high rank.

If you decide to play tricks

to humiliate me

or hurt me,

I shall hold you accountable.

Lie down.

It is real, sir. You shall be healed.

Who cast this magic upon you?

Their craft is most uncommon!

Drink.

Muen Vorachai! Sir!

I shall not yield.

Sir! Sir.

Master.

What did you do?!

This is even more painful!

I did not succeed!

His magic is more powerful than mine!

Sir!

Was it Taen Seenil?

You did not succeed?

Can no one do anything to him?!

Blast it!

What is his name?!

Khun Saengplarn.

My master shall rid you of your foe.

Who is your master?

Where is he?

I do not know. I have not seen him in a long time.

But there is one nobleman

named…

Bovorn…

Bovorn what?!

Luang Bovorntat!

Yes, yes! It is him!

Take me to that nobleman.

Should the enemy

advance from this path, where would you station your guard?

- Here, sir. - Good.

And what

- of our offense-- - Sir.

Va told me to deliver your meal.

And Ming, share this among your fellows.

Thank you.

Give my thanks to your lady.

Yes, sir.

And how fare you all

at the house?

We are living well, sir.

Living well?

Laor.

How is the new servant, Aon?

Aon is attending to the rice crops in your field, sir.

Attending to the rice crops…

Does that mean he rarely sees Lady Va?

Well,

- he sometimes-- - Oh, I am starving!

Is this mine, Laor?

- Can I have it now? - Yes.

Move.

Well, Laor?

Does Aon see Lady Va often?

There is chili paste as well!

What kind of chili paste?

- It is-- - Laor.

Answer me first.

He has just completed planting the rice.

I heard he will tend to the backyard field next.

They must be planning together.

Planning together? Does that mean

Aon is alone with Lady Va?

Aon and--

This is delicious, Laor!

But cucumbers are missing.

Can you pick some for me near the kitchen?

- Yes. - Wait, Laor.

Answer me first.

They are beside the kitchen fence.

Yong!

If you want cucumbers, go pick them yourself.

Or I shall stuff my foot in your mouth instead!

I am waiting for her answers.

Well, Laor.

What was the question again, sir?

- Are Aon and Lady Va - Are Aon and Lady Va

- alone together? - alone together?

Yes, sir.

Khun Saengplarn devoted himself to helping us.

He truly is a good man.

He must hold great affection for you, My Lady.

Aon. We have decided to be together as siblings.

He is my new brother.

- Siblings? - Yes.

But you and he were wed to one another.

Aon. Khun Saengplarn seems…

not to be drawn to women.

Does Khun Saengplarn

find favor

with those of his own sex?

I do not know.

But I often heard him speak

of being unable to be with women.

This is unfortunate.

You shall not be able to marry anyone else.

Will you be bound to live without a spouse?

Do we truly need a spouse?

We can have them

or be without them.

Yet, we need love.

Is there someone who comes to mind first

when you wake up?

Someone who makes our day start fresh.

Someone

who keeps us from going back to sleep.

For me, it is you, Aon.

You and our brothers and sisters at the house

are the ones I shall care for in my parents' stead.

Every day, I wake up worrying if you all are harmed.

Thank you, My Lady.

Dear!

When did you come back?

I thought it was a thief.

There is no tub for a soaking ritual at the camp, so I had to come.

You should not have scared me.

I am all soaked.

And this water…

Can a woman soak in it?

Women are not to be viewed with disgust.

On the contrary,

they are embodiments of beauty.

Their beauty may be most frightening.

Did I upset you?

I am not inclined to seek favor with those of my own gender.

I am a man…

drawn to women.

Saiyud! No, do not scream.

- It is me. - You scared me.

What are you doing here? Muen Vorachai may find you.

I brought something for you.

I found it around Khun Saengplarn's house.

You were the first thought in my mind upon waking.

I came here immediately after retrieving it.

Now, you shall have this for your skin.

And did you ask for his permission?

First thought in my mind upon waking?

Is there someone who comes to mind first

when you wake up?

Well? You must honor the master of the house.

He is always at the military camp for a month.

I still have not met him.

This honey

must be able to cure some of your scars.

Thank you for thinking of me.

This house

is more comfortable than the camp, is it not?

Yes.

Knowing you spent the night here,

my first thought upon waking

was of what food you might wish to have.

First thought upon waking?

Sir.

Hm?

About…

finding favor in men,

did you overhear the conversation?

Please forgive me.

I did not mean it as an insult.

No, no. It is me who owe you an apology.

Last night,

I let my anger consume me.

But I am particularly joyful today.

It is all because of a tiny smile

and a few words

from a certain someone.

A certain someone?

Who is it that you are talking about?

Sir!

To see Luang Bovorntat?

Are you a hermit?

What is your name?

He is Master Saenkam, sir.

Tell your master

that if he wishes to succeed in his mission,

he needs someone powerful.

And I am that someone.

He is not available. Leave at once.

Khun Pakdee! Sir!

Please wait, sir.

I have studied under the same master as yours!

You must welcome me properly!

You claimed

that I too was a pupil of your master.

What did you mean by it?

Master Taen Seenil,

the greatest sorcerer of this land,

is our master.

Are you familiar with Master Taen?

When he was a forest bandit,

I did raid alongside him

and learned the magic from him.

Die!

Our master was once a forest bandit?

He was but a servant child who was tired of poverty.

Oppressed by those of higher status,

he resolved to master the art of sorcery.

One day,

he left all of us.

I thought he was becoming a nobleman in one of the cities.

He is not a nobleman in Ayothaya.

For the last ten years, there are no new nobles in Ayothaya

because Ayothaya

is being administered by the six families of nobles.

What are they discussing?

Why am I not invited?

One night, I was residing in the woods near Ayothaya

and searched for him through my mind.

Then, he responded for the first time

and said your name,

"Bovorntat."

Master Taen stated my name?

Yes.

Is he here with you, Luang Bovorntat?

Where is he?

No one knows where his physical body is.

He never showed himself to me in person.

Each time we contacted, he appeared in a spiritual form.

You need not know

where I am.

Master.

At last, I behold you once more!

Saenkam.

You are much more skilled.

Now,

you are worthy of greatness alongside Taen Seenil.

For ten years, I have longed.

I am sworn to serve you until my last breath.

Please let me remain at your side as I once did, Master.

Muen Vorachai, who is outside now.

If you are to remove the buffalo hide from him,

Pansaeng shall notice.

Why would you alert him of your presence?

I shall deal with this matter myself.

What is this magic, Master?

Have you mastered the Asoraveda,

the highest form of magic?

Luang Bovorntat.

Why did you speak so at length?

I shall rid you of the curse.

Are you able to wield magic as well, My Lord?

This yantra shall suppress Pansaeng's curse.

From now,

that buffalo hide shall not pain you again.

Is it true, My Lord?

I shall feel pain no more?

From now on,

he shall not be able to harm me again, shall he?

You are truly most excellent.

Are you the master of Master Saenkam?

Do not speak of this to anyone.

And you

must pretend to be good and enter Pansaeng's house.

Must I pretend

to have changed my ways, My Lord?

Yes.

I have a task for you.

Aon.

Khun Saengplarn wishes to talk to you.

Sir.

What you did for us gave us new lives.

From now on,

I shall not do anything to trouble you again.

Very well.

To live together, you shall have to work.

I am here to talk about this.

I have planted all the rice crops, sir.

I am now tidying up this garden.

You can leave it there.

I shall have my soldiers attend to it.

Then, I saw a little leak in the roof.

Shall you let me mend it?

No.

The soldiers shall mend it.

Then, what shall you let Aon do?

He shall sell goods in the market.

You have sold something before, have you not?

I have, sir. I can do it.

I shall make money for you, sir.

Are the people of your household not struggling?

Share the money you make with them.

I shall serve you

until the day I die, sir.

Good.

I shall rent a shop for you.

Sir. You shall rent a shop?

Yes.

Only a stall should be enough.

A shop is better.

That way, you shall have a place to sleep

and do not have to return here every day.

Yes, sir.

Come. I shall help you.

Thank you, sir.

I shall hold it.

Yes, sir.

Please, Lady Va.

It shall not look good. A disrespect to your honor.

You should walk ahead.

Lady Va.

Look at those Westerners.

They respect women's honor.

They let women walk ahead of them

because women are more fragile.

They shall follow them and protect them if needed.

I think I am fond of this idea.

Yes.

Go.

Let's go, Aon.

Wait, Aon.

I know, My Lady.

Aunt Chuea's sweets shop?

Yes!

I crave them so much.

Sir.

The sweets from this shop are delicious.

Aunt Chuea! Greetings.

- Here. - Here, My Lady.

She does not like Khanom chan, sir.

Sampannee is her favorite.

After Sampannee,

she shall have Mung bean dumplings.

- Then, Foi thong! - Foi thong!

I never understand this order.

She has had them in this order since childhood.

It is the order of my favorites.

When we were young, Father and Mother would bring us all here.

And we would pick what we like, so I had to be quick as well.

Thank you.

Here, My Lady.

Is it delicious?

Very.

It is good as always, Aunt Chuea.

Sir.

Do you wish to try some?

No.

Aon.

It is fragrant and sweet.

This way, sir.

Here it is.

The shop I wish to rent.

Luckily,

it is vacant.

It is in a good area.

And it looks crowded.

Yes.

You shall have a shop now.

It shall help you sell well, Aon.

Here.

You have my thanks.

I wish you good fortune.

Aon.

- Yes, My Lady? - Let us go see the shop.

- Yes, My Lady. - Go!

Good, then bad. Joy, then sorrow.

The only thing that can cause this is…

GOOD, THEN BAD, JOY, THEN SORROW THE ONLY CAUSE IS LOVE

We are finished with the shop now.

I shall greet Khiew at her shop in the front.

ROOM FOR RENT

Well…

Will you be able to live here?

It is more than enough, sir.

Tomorrow, I shall go and order some goods.

We shall be ready to open in a few days.

Good.

Then, you can spend nights here.

Do not return to the house.

Yes, sir.

Actually…

Visit your house from time to time.

Pardon me, sir?

There are women and children in your house.

Return to them now and then.

Yes, sir.

And…

take good care of your Lady.

Yes, sir.

Dear. Khiew said that

there is an iron merchant from Namphi selling goods over there.

- Do you wish to buy knives and swords? - No.

Some people

can wound the hearts of others without the need of weapons or sorcery.

Why would I need them?

Dear!

Did I do something wrong?

If you do not tell me,

I shall not be able to mend it.

I am here, sir.

Here.

Are you not coming inside, sir?

I shall go to the camp now.

Perhaps I shall not return for days.

Yes, sir.

It pains me, whether she is near or far.

Now I know how it truly feels.

Va.

Why are you crying? What did happen?

Laor.

That gaze.

Is he so angry and full of contempt for me?

Your duty

is to plant amoria blooms in place of pandans.

You there.

A ghost!

Va. Noi has been missing for three days.

What happened?

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

Noi!

I have retrieved the belongings of Pansaeng and Chavala.

This is the magical amoria bloom.

It shall make Pansaeng fall deeply for Chavala.

He shall yearn for her and desire her.

Sir!

Sir.
