Prince Khanin,

you carry the blood of royalty.

All these years,

was I never truly your son in your eyes?

It's never been like that.

I'm not going to Emmaly.

He doesn't have a choice.

Why wouldn't I?

It's my life.

Go.

- Come on, let's go. - Come on.

Dad!

Come on.

Khanin, go!

- Dad. - I'll be right there!

Just go!

- Go! - Come on.

Go with Charan!

Get them!

Dad...

Let's go.

Hurry.

Watch out.

Dad...

Watch out!

Dad!

- Dad... - Come with me.

Let go of me.

Let go. My dad needs help.

Khanin!

Let go of me.

Calm down.

Is this how you're gonna repay your dad's efforts?

Come on.

Hurry.

I'm going back to my dad.

I cannot let you do that.

We need to go now.

Please...

Charan...

Let me go back to him.

You can't.

We need to leave this place.

Hey!

Drop the gun.

Let's go.

Hey,

now!

My apologies, sir.

Khanin made it.

All evidence has been dealt with.

I'll get the job done once I find him.

You need to stay here with me.

How can you know it's safe?

They might be after us.

Trust me.

We're safe here.

It's the perfect size.

You really do know me well.

Hey,

is this necessary?

My dad might call me!

Hey,

he would never risk exposing your location

by contacting you by phone.

He trusts me.

If you don't trust me,

at least trust your dad.

What can I say if my dad trusts you?

Let's just get some rest.

We've been through a lot today.

Are you hungry?

What are you craving? I'll order it.

We might need to stay here for a few days.

Things are unpredictable.

I'm worried about your safety.

Get some sleep, okay?

Mm.

Thanks.

Hey...

- It hurts! - Hey,

you want to be in danger, huh?

I'm going back to my dad.

You're only going to get yourself caught.

Thatdanai is an extremely skilled soldier.

He has always protected you.

What do you think you could possibly do by going there?

This phone doesn't work anymore,

and you're not allowed to use it.

I hope you understand

that your status must remain a secret.

How did you unlock the handcuffs?

Only one of my hands was handcuffed.

Anyone could easily unlock them.

Show me.

Your arm.

You wanted me to show you, didn't you?

Why did you have to learn that?

I have my own duties,

- and you have your... - You're gonna say my duty

is to go back to Emmaly with you?

It's now time.

You must return to secure the power of the Assavadevathins.

Power?

And ensure that Prince Tharin, your biological father,

ascends the throne as the next King of Emmaly.

Today's agenda is to review

the economic progress of all regions, correct?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Let's start with Tharin.

The gold mining operations of Assavadevathin

continue to yield results as projected.

Major clients from neighboring countries

have expressed great satisfaction with the quality of our gold.

As for Bhuchongpisut,

we're now encountering serious difficulties in exporting diamonds

due to the illegal importation of diamonds from prohibited countries.

Would Your Majesty be able to expedite the legislation

preventing the import of diamonds from such countries?

I have not been idle.

The legislation process must follow proper procedures.

I hope you understand.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How are Prince Chana's territory of Davichmetha

and Prince Wasin's territory of Meenanagarin faring?

We are facing no difficulties.

These numbers are only approximate.

We've begun selling gemstones using blockchain technology,

and the figures are quite promising.

As for Meenanagarin,

our sincere thanks

go to the Assavadevathins for their research support,

which has enabled our dark champagne pearls

to have such distinctive qualities.

You're too humble.

We all are not strangers.

We should always help one another.

Father...

Please summon the royal physician, Your Majesty.

Thank you, but I'm fine.

Not being able to meet with Your Majesty regularly,

we can't help but feel concerned.

It's due to The Rule

that prohibits four of us

from entering the palace without permission.

The Rule exists to ensure the safety of everyone,

avoiding a tragedy similar to what happened 22 years ago.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Right now...

We've finished the meeting.

Thank you all for coming.

You called for me. Is there something, Father?

I've been keeping a secret from you.

Khanin's still alive.

Father...

What did you just say?

Khanin is on his way back.

I'll take good care of our son.

Why so serious?

It's just a fun practice, Ava.

I know it is,

but I'm afraid I can't go easy on you, Ramil.

Whoever reaches 15 points first wins.

Game on.

En garde. (On guard)

Êtes-vous prêts? (Are you ready?)

Allez. (Go)

Halte. (Halt)

Êtes-vous prêts? (Are you ready?)

Allez. (Go)

Halte. (Halt)

Halte. (Halt)

A Davichmetha and a Bhuchongpisut...

Halte. (Halt)

It's nice that they're good friends.

Halte. (Halt)

They've actually been friends since they were kids.

Halte. (Halt)

They're almost like siblings.

Halte. (Halt)

Attaque. (Attack)

Parade-riposte. (Parry-riposte)

Ramil's skills remain as sharp as ever.

His talent is undeniable,

just as expected from the son of Prince Rachata.

Your skills are impressive.

May we have a return match next week?

That can be in Bhuchongpisut.

I don't think I can claim

that I've defeated the marvelous young lady

who has such a gift for fencing like you.

Perhaps my victory

was due to your injury.

Oh, my God.

You're praising me too much, Ramil.

It wasn't too much.

With the news spreading,

it's a pity that you're a woman;

if not, you'd surely be a fearsome competitor

in the Royal Competition.

However,

do you know why when the heir wins,

the father takes the throne?

Because in Emmaly,

raising an heir is seen as equally important

to ruling the kingdom.

Even if I'm a woman,

I've studied the royal traditions and Emmaly's history thoroughly.

From the Westerners, right?

You're still not as fluent in Emmaly as you were.

Well, speaking isn't part of the competition.

Is that right?

Despite that, tradition says

women aren't allowed to compete.

It's so unfair

that I'm the only male heir from all four clans.

Your Royal Highnesses...

I just remembered I've got somewhere to go.

I shall take my leave now, Ramil.

Where have you been?

I was...

accompanying Prince Rachata, Your Royal Highness.

Are you confused about your duty?

You should be with me,

not with someone else.

Please let go of me, Your Royal Highness.

If anyone sees us, we'll be in trouble.

Who would see us?

Soon, we, the Bhuchongpisuts, will reclaim the throne of this palace.

If anyone plans to gossip about us,

they'd better have some serious guts.

We need to change the plan.

I'll reach out to you once we're there.

We should leave now, Your Royal Highness.

Can you speak normally?

No need for formalities.

Please.

And...

I still want to be here.

- I need to find my dad. - You can't do that.

This place's too dangerous for you.

If Thatdanai made it,

the first place he'd go to is Emmaly.

He'd know you'd be there.

I still have no idea who hurt us.

You want me to just leave?

If you want to find out who hurt you and your dad,

the only way is to go to Emmaly.

Fine.

If he's going there,

I'll go, too.

Now that the secret about you is no longer safe from the enemy,

our journey to Emmaly won't be easy.

A message from Mister Charan just came in,

stating that, for their safety,

the arrival may be delayed,

as the enemy knows about the plan and is currently pursuing both of them.

My apologies.

What?

I was actually intending to book business seats,

but I was worried that with fewer people, it would attract more attention.

Why would you apologize?

What's with you?

I'm fine.

I'm ordinary.

It's not a big deal.

I also prefer a window seat.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're passing through the area of turbulence.

Please remain seated, fasten your seat belt,

and refrain from using lavatories until the seat belt sign goes off.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're passing through the area of turbulence.

Please remain seated, fasten your seat belt,

and refrain from using lavatories until the seat belt sign goes off.

Did you have a nightmare?

Worried that the plane would crash?

Hey...

Can I ask you something?

Be honest.

You should already know that taking me with you is dangerous.

Why are you still doing this job,

risking your life

and coming alone?

It's my duty, Your Royal Highness.

Come on.

No formality.

I flew across the skies

mainly to escort Your Royal Highness back to Emmaly safely.

A duty...

Is that why my dad took care of me?

He must've only been doing his duty.

Thatdanai is an exceptional person,

entrusted with the important task of looking after you.

While I can't speak for him,

I believe that for him, it was not just a duty,

but something much more.

How come...

people still hunt others down in this day and age?

In every age,

power remains with those who win.

And you?

Do you desire it, too?

Power doesn't matter to me,

but you do, Your Royal Highness.

What's gonna happen when we arrive in Emmaly?

Once we're there, Your Royal Highness...

I said no formality.

Okay.

Once you make it to Emmaly,

you'll meet your family.

The family that I don't know.

When the time comes,

are you still gonna be there with me?

It's a lot better out here.

I get it

that if we fly straight to Emmaly, we'll run into those guys waiting for us,

but isn't going to Hanoi a shorter route?

They would've thought the same way.

We're still not safe here.

How can we go to Emmaly from here?

I know a friend in Thailand.

He can help us.

Should we go on a trip to Thailand?

It's close to Emmaly.

Their culture and language are similar to ours.

Why don't we just go to Emmaly then?

You miss that place, don't you?

I'm not ready to go there.

So...

we can just go to Thailand.

I'm fluent in Emmaly.

That means I can speak Thai fluently, too.

My Thai friend once said

that my accent is exactly like a Thai's.

I'm even better at it than other languages I know.

One of my friends also mentioned how good Thai food is.

Have you tried some?

I think I just scrolled past it.

Here, have you tried this?

Som tam...

Right, som tam!

My friend said it was heavenly.

"Som" means orange, but why is it in the name of papaya salad?

Here.

Let's go.

Hey...

Yes?

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

You must not leave my side.

Okay.

We've been followed.

Sorry for cutting the line.

That's alright.

You may go now.

What's the hurry?

Where are you going?

This place.

Oh, that condo. I've been there before.

Where have you guys been?

- Japan. - I've been there.

I was working there ten years ago.

The pay was great.

Right...

You guys look pretty gorgeous.

Are you two stars?

Are you?

Are we not gonna talk?

Still here with me?

Can't you just say something to me?

Gosh.

Wait,

why are they tailgating us?

Okay, so you want this?

Fine, let's do it.

Can you go faster?

Sure, we'll see.

Any faster, sir?

Here we go.

Bangkok Drift!

This is getting worse.

They're after you, aren't they?

I'll pull over. You guys have to leave.

[Chatuchak Market]

Leave now.

What do we do now?

They're still after us.

Let's go inside first.

This way.

You two go there.

You're coming with me.

That's them!

Stay behind me.

Hey!

Charan...

Hey!

Are you alright?

Come on.

Change your clothes.

Are you not going to change?

Give me your arm.

I'm good.

Give it.

You'll get sick.

Just worry about yourself.

Thank you.

- Your wound... - It's alright.

I think they're gone.

What's next?

I've sent my friend our location.

Isn't it gonna cause him trouble?

You lost your phone?

Hey,

how did you get in here?

We're sorry.

We were just avoiding the rain.

You're in my space without my permission.

I'll call the police.

Sir,

do you really think we broke into this place?

Wait, you look...

familiar.

You're like...

Like who?

Like that one famous singer.

Really?

Thank you, sir.

We're so sorry for being in here without your permission.

We were really just avoiding the rain.

It was raining cats and dogs, and...

my friend's injured.

How did you get that wound?

A mad guy.

He even took our phones.

Can we borrow that to call our friend?

Please...

Please.

Well...

Sure.

Thank you.

Please forgive my friends.

We're sorry for bothering you.

Come on, that's fine.

- I'm willing to help. - I know.

I was really shocked, though.

- Thank you so much. - Yeah.

Let's go.

Yo, big bro.

It's been ages,

and the first thing you do is bring me trouble.

Thanks, though.

Here.

And who's this?

My brother.

Your brother?

Like, a biological one or...

You're such a pain in the ass.

What? Why so rude now?

Thank you for helping me...

and Ran.

No problem, bro.

Come on.

Let's go.

Take your seat.

Right,

I'm Vedish,

Ran's friend.

We went to the same school.

Yeah.

- What? - What?

He's not your brother, is he?

Gosh...

The cat's out of the bag.

I knew it.

We met in the UK

before we...

started dating.

I knew it.

You're so quiet now, huh?

He's not.

My Unc-unc...

is the cutest!

You're getting chubbier, aren't you?

Look at those chubby cheeks!

Wait...

Did you just call him "Unc-unc"?

Oh, that's a nickname for my boyfriend.

It's from...

"Uncle."

Because he nags like some grumpy old man.

How about you, Ran?

What do you call him?

That one, Unc-unc.

You always call me that.

Cutie.

Cutie.

Cutie?

I'm always like that, so you call me it.

"Naughty."

That's cute.

But it's like...

kinda too simple.

Let's call him...

"Tue-tue."

That also fits Unc-unc.

Tue-tue and Unc-unc.

Tue-tue?

Unc-unc...

can you call me "Tue-tue"?

Come on.

Okay,

my Tue-tue.

Hey, Ran.

Who hurt you and your boyfriend?

What did you guys do?

Why does everything have to be so serious?

Can we talk for a moment?

Sure.

My apologies, Your Royal Highness.

I did not mean to joke around with you.

You don't need to call me that.

Who said my status must remain a secret?

We can trust this guy.

What? I was going all out for that.

How can I make him stop bowing?

That's enough.

Thank you, Your Royal Highness.

Please talk to me normally.

What's the plan for tomorrow?

You sure it's safe on trains?

Come on.

No matter where you go, they'll catch you either way.

Don't worry.

I've got a plan.

Hello.

How can I help you?

Have you seen this person?

I think he just asked me for directions.

Right there! It's him.

Is it him?

Ran.

Let's go.

How's my plan?

What a flawless plan.

How can you not laugh at yourself?

We have no choice.

They're at the platform.

I'll be there first.

Don't get exposed, okay?

I'll see you there.

Would you like anything?

Would you like anything?

Can I have this?

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now, that's better.

Peppermint Field?

Thai inhalers are so good.

They give a refreshing feeling.

Wanna try it?

It's great.

Unc-unc,

do you think I'm a good actor?

You're a fair one.

No chance of getting any praise, huh?

I did amazing acting like your boyfriend.

Vedish even fell for it.

Give me some attention.

Hey,

you don't need to pretend now.

Fine, I'll stop.

Thanks for protecting me.

When can I take this off?

It's making me laugh.

That's already good.

It's for your safety.

Before we arrive, let's change our clothes.

Father...

Tell me.

I must head back to Assavadevathin this evening.

That can wait.

Khanin is almost here.

To ensure Assavadevathin remains unshaken,

I shall hold the Royal Fencing Competition.

When are you going to do that?

By this evening, I shall declare to the people that a new King

is to be chosen.

But Khanin's about to come back.

I don't want him to participate in it soon.

You do know

how dangerous it is to be one of the competitors.

Tharin.

Yes, Your Majesty?

I am unwell.

Do I really need to stay here?

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

This is the outer section of the palace.

Your residence is located at the back.

Please proceed, Your Royal Highness.

Why was I never informed of this?

I commanded them to keep it a secret.

I'm willing to take the risk to bring my grandson back

because deep down, I know...

there's no one I can trust to protect the people of Emmaly

better than you, Tharin.

For Emmaly,

Khanin must be the next prince.

I am...

Khanin Assavadevathin.

I mean no disrespect in raising this on a day of celebration,

but how do we know for sure that this person

is truly of the Assavadevathin bloodline?

His Majesty will likely host the Royal Fencing Competition soon.

While one vanished

and returned miraculously,

the other is a woman.

I'd like to see Your Royal Highness join the Competition.

Will you respect the choice I'll make?

This is my grandson,

Khanin Assavadevathin.
