I, the heir of Davichmetha, hereby withdraw.

We'll proceed with the final fencing match

between the two clans:

Assavadevathin and Bhuchongpisut.

Now, you finally see

who rules and who serves.

Get up,

or you won't be able to beat Khanin.

He hasn't come here at all, Your Royal Highness.

Maybe this was our chance to bring about change.

You must win the fencing match.

I feel so much pressure.

Good luck.

You've got this.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Royal Fencing Competition

is about to begin in just a few moments.

Our nation, Emmaly, is known across the world

for the strength of its fencers.

Many of our fencers have ranked

among the best in the world.

And today, we are about to witness the most historic match

Emmaly has seen in decades.

It marks a duel between the clans of Assavadevathin

and Bhuchongpisut.

May both princes

take their positions, please.

Allow me to briefly introduce Prince Khanin.

Prince Khanin Assavadevathin

has recently returned from the United Kingdom,

yet he's shown a deep passion for embracing the culture of Emmaly.

On social media, he's been praised as a symbol of change.

Up next, I present Prince Ramil Bhuchongpisut,

a familiar and well-respected figure among the Emmalians.

He possesses both intelligence and skills.

He is fond of all sports and excels in every one of them.

As you all know, to ensure the safety and security of all,

today's match is taking place in a closed setting.

The moment has arrived.

The Royal Fencing Competition between the two royal clans

officially begins now.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Please be informed that

as permitted by the rules.

I have done my best, Father.

Is that the best you can do?

If you lose,

you know what's coming, don't you?

The Bhuchongpisuts will fall, all thanks to you.

If there's nothing else,

I shall take my leave.

Is this really all the top fencer of the club has got?

Who the hell are you?

Young Prince.

Young Prince...

Who are you talking about?

Men and women stand as equals.

Gender makes no difference.

It's skill that truly matters.

I am...

Khanin Assavadevathin.

If you stay this way,

victory will never be yours.

While one vanished...

With both of you joining the Competition,

it should be quite exciting.

To have finally found Khanin,

my grandson,

is a miracle beyond words.

This is my grandson,

Khanin Assavadevathin.

Congratulations, Brother.

Thank you, Brother Ramil.

On behalf of the people of Emmaly,

I offer my heartfelt congratulations to you, Your Royal Highness.

Let's go and congratulate Khanin, Father.

Okay.

Let's go.

You're amazing, Your Royal Highness.

You did it!

As we all know,

Prince Khanin's victory

secures another reign on the throne for the Assavadevathin clan.

Your Royal Highness,

Prince Rachata has requested...

your presence.

Please proceed this way.

You're a disgrace, Ramil.

How dare you give me that look?

How dare you?

You can slap me again. I won't stop you.

Now you're provoking me?

Fine.

No number of slaps

can change what happened today.

I have...

already lost to Khanin.

Watch that mouth of yours.

Who do you think you are?

I am your son, Father!

All this time,

I only wished to be a good son,

a good prince...

I tried to be a good man to the one I love.

But you took everything from me.

You have gone mad.

Because I've lost everything!

Right now,

I have nothing left.

I'm the one

who gave you everything.

Oh, did you?

Father,

when I fell,

did you ever care if I was okay?

Why?

It was nothing serious.

Did you expect me to baby you?

Forget it, Father.

It doesn't matter anymore.

We may still be father and son in name,

but from this day on,

I will no longer serve under your command.

You're not allowed to leave.

Ramil!

Ramil!

Ramil!

Father,

Khanin is here to see you.

Grandfather...

Khanin...

Father told me that

you had sent your apology.

So I want you to know...

I accept your apology, Grandfather.

You're Charan, right?

Charan,

from now on, I'll be your grandfather.

Call me Grandfather.

Grandfather...

Remember,

even if you have no one else,

you'll always have me.

Let us all proceed.

Ramil...

As the King of Emmaly,

I hereby proclaim the principles of my reign.

From this day forth,

I shall devote my life to serving every citizen of Emmaly,

and strive to resolve all matters, great or small,

for the lasting peace of my people.

How do you envision the future of Emmaly

from this point onward, Your Royal Highness?

His Majesty the King has recognized the environmental issues

and has issued policies to preserve our country's natural heritage.

We may soon see new regulations

that comprehensively address environmental concerns.

What about Your Royal Highness?

Might we know

what you wish to do next?

I shall stand in support of His Majesty's work.

As to how...

I'm still searching for the answer.

Uh...

Aren't you sticking to the script, Your Royal Highness?

It's better to say what I truly feel.

♫Where the time has gone,♫

♫I just know you're my world, my dawn♫

♫You've taken my heart, my soul, my way,♫

♫In this night, it's us who'll stay♫

♫Moonlight shines so bright♫

Will you dance with me, my most trusted royal guard?

With utmost pleasure.

♫This moment feels like it's truly mine♫

♫The world's a fairy tale,♫

♫In your arms tonight♫

♫I wish to stop this time,♫

♫And call you my endless light♫

Why didn't you stick to the script, though?

I did not want to pretend.

Honestly, I still don't know

If I can't even answer that for myself,

If I can't even answer that for myself,

I don't want to lie about it, either.

But you know what, Ran?

There's one thing I can say for sure right now.

I want to be with you, Ran.

♫The world's a fairy tale,♫

♫In your arms tonight♫

♫I wish to stop this time,♫

♫And make you forever mine♫

♫Ooh, dancing in the moonlight with you,♫

♫Under the stars, just us two♫

♫With every beat, my heart's complete♫

♫You...♫

♫You made my dream come true♫

♫Oh, and it is only you♫

♫Hold me so tight,♫

♫All through the night♫

♫Hold me so tight,♫

♫All through the night♫

May I ask

what's on your mind?

Why are you two here?

Aren't you going inside?

My apologies, Father.

What's on your mind?

I'm just...

considering something.

I've spoken with Thatdanai.

And I think...

as long as you're happy,

I won't dictate your path.

Live your life the way you truly want to.

Thank you, Father.

I need a little more time, and I'll let you know soon.

Let's go inside, shall we?

Paytai...

Your Royal Highness...

How do you know I'm here?

I saw your painting.

- How have you been? - How are you doing?

Have you...

received any punishment, Your Royal Highness?

Your Royal Highness,

are you alright?

I'm sorry.

I've never been the lover you deserved.

You...

don't need to be sorry, Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness...

Please don't cry.

Can you tell me what happened?

My father...

was nothing but a madman, drunk on power.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I truly am.

I have nothing left now.

Neither do I, Your Royal Highness.

I was born the son of a politician,

sent to serve you since I was a child.

And I...

foolishly believed that

everything I did was for the sake of my family.

It's okay, Your Royal Highness.

Please don't cry.

Is it really okay?

I'm still here with you.

Thank you.

I will stay right by your side.

Get this ready for me.

Sure, Your Royal Highness.

What are you doing?

Since you're here,

I have something to tell you.

I want a break today.

Please take me out.

If you want to go out,

you need to inform His Majesty first.

I already did.

You can ask Chakri.

Sorry?

Oh...

His Majesty asked that you look after His Royal Highness.

Where do you want to go?

This reminds me of...

when we ran away from the attackers and came to Emmaly.

Someone here was really tough at that time, huh?

If you weren't so stubborn,

your Unc-unc wouldn't have been so tough.

Alright,

Unc-unc.

I like calling you by that name.

Then call me that again.

Unc-unc...

We've tried that before.

You want some again, right?

Prince Khanin,

how many sets would you like to get?

- One, please. - Okay.

Here you go, Your Royal Highness.

Come on,

let me feed you, Unc-unc.

Does it look good on me?

It's cute.

You like it?

It's so pretty.

How cute.

But you're cuter.

Let's match.

Cute.

I remember this.

We were eating grilled pork together right here.

It feels so different from the last time.

I remember...

having to tell you to smile.

I was worried we might be noticed,

or even worse,

you might be ambushed.

So you had that serious, stern look...

cause you were worried about me?

I think you could say that.

Just accept that you cared.

Yes.

I cared about you.

Then tell me if you love me.

I know

you have a lot on your mind.

And one of them...

is about me, isn't it?

It's not just you I've been thinking about.

It's our future.

Let's go somewhere quiet

and talk about us.

What a beautiful starry night.

Yeah.

So beautiful.

Ran, what's that star?

Would you like to say something first?

Oh...

We're here to talk.

Right, that's why we're here.

So...

I've been thinking.

But before I say anything,

I wanna know what you wanna do from now on.

I think...

I want to devote myself to assisting His Majesty.

The pollution crisis needs immediate action,

and I'll stand with him in confronting the old power structure.

I understand.

Having you support His Majesty

will surely give him peace of mind.

That sounds like a good path.

What about you?

What have you been thinking?

I've made up my mind.

I'm going back to the UK

to study more about...

pollution management.

Maybe I'll learn something new

and help Emmaly grow in the future.

But...

your title...

I've never wanted a title.

I haven't changed my mind.

Just like I told you before,

I want nothing more than an ordinary life.

If I'm no longer a prince,

can you say you love me now?

I think...

If you have to think,

that means you can't, right?

That's not what I meant.

I just think...

if I say it,

it might be inappropriate

or even wrong.

I get it.

I'll be waiting for the day you can say you love me.

Big news for our nation today, guys!

Prince Khanin has renounced his royal title

to continue his education.

This announcement has ignited

widespread discussion.

Some believe Prince Khanin should ascend to rule.

Or this... This might be the beginning of real change.

Now that is truly Prince Khanin.

[Jay: Would it be possible to see you again, Your Royal Highness?]

[Trust Gangnam Clinic for Laser Hair Removal]

I'll send this to June.

Calvin?

Can we please talk?

I want to talk to you, too.

I'm sorry

for hiding who I really was from you.

I didn't mean to hide it at first.

I just felt...

nice having you as a friend.

But as time went by,

I started feeling something deeper.

I kept waiting for the right moment

to tell you the truth about me,

but it just never came.

Your Royal Highness...

Please call me the way you used to.

I mean...

I admit that...

I was mad at first

because you lied to me.

But...

I don't think you really meant to.

I never wanted to lie to you.

So, why are you here?

Weren't you already called back?

Yes.

But I don't think...

I want to stay in Bhujar anymore.

What do you mean?

When I first came here,

I didn't even want to study art.

I was sent to this art university

by the royal family

to keep an unimportant prince like me

from challenging my brother for the throne.

But after I met you,

I realized...

I like art.

And I like you.

I don't know if you feel the same way,

but you mean a lot to me, Jay.

I...

feel the same way.

What's confusing you?

I mean,

I like you, too.

Thanks.

Oh,

you're still up?

Yes, Father.

I have something for you.

A portrait of you I painted.

It may not be perfect,

but I did my best.

Thanks, dear.

There's something else I need to say.

It's what I once asked of you

that if I were to win,

you would honor my request.

Would that be too much to ask, Father?

Emmaly means the people,

and democracy belongs to them.

Thank you, Father.

You don't need to.

It's what I ought to do.

This land

belongs to the people,

not to us alone.

So,

you're leaving tomorrow, right?

Yes.

I want to thank you

for everything, Father.

Look,

though I wasn't there to raise you,

I love you

unconditionally.

Your happiness

brings me joy,

and your pain

brings me sorrow.

If something's still bothering you,

you can always come to me.

The only thing that's still bothering me

is the person I love.

I know when it comes to that,

you'll do whatever you want.

But the one in my heart won't agree.

You can go first.

I want a moment with Ran.

I'll wait for you there, then.

Take good care of yourself here.

I had the pearl made into a necklace for you.

This is beautiful.

I'll put it on you.

Will you be waiting for me, Nin?

I'll never stop waiting.

I...

It's okay.

I totally understand everything.

Thank you for understanding me.

You've got your duties to do.

I know.

But call me

when you have time.

Call me often.

Okay.

Come to me soon, okay?

I'm leaving now.

You don't need to send me off.

It's this close.

I love you, Ran.

I...

Your Royal Highness...

Please wait for me, too!

Without you,

I don't know how I'll go on.

Please...

Please let me come with you.

Your Royal Highness!

Please. Please wait for me.

Prince Khanin... Oh!

Goodbye, Mr. Charan.

I, Chakri, am leaving for London.

Prince Khanin!

Wait up, please.

Your Royal Highness!

Your Royal Highness...

Look.

I've brought

Lolane Intense Care Bond Repair Water Treatment with me.

Always the full name, huh?

Thanks.

However,

this is not the palace.

We talk casually here,

okay?

Come sit with me,

mate.

Mate?

Mate.

So...

I'll be...

your butler...

Your buddy?

Your bestie?

Yep.

I miss the palace.

My palace, I miss you.

Nin,

what mischief did you pull on Chakri this time?

I didn't, Dad.

I just told him to talk to me casually.

Finished putting things away?

Let's have a meal.

Are we having some kind of Emmalian food?

Don't tell me...

Spaghetti.

I'm joking, come on.

I've made Beef Wellington, you know.

Whoa!

You've improved, haven't you?

Give me a few minutes, and we'll eat.

I went to see Vedish today.

Right now,

it must be nighttime over there,

right?

You're right.

Have you eaten yet?

I have.

Dad made...

Beef Wellington.

Chakri even had two plates.

Have you stopped messing with him yet?

I have never done that.

Can I believe that, though?

Of course you can.

How can I mess with anyone?

I am...

sweet.

Yeah,

you are.

What?

Why are you making me blush, Charan?

My heart's beating so fast.

I miss you.

Gosh,

that could take my life, you know?

Do you miss me, too?

I don't just miss you.

I wanna see you.

I wanna hug you.

I wanna...

kiss you.

You'll get to do it soon.

Sorry?

What did you just say?

I didn't catch that.

Nothing.

Nin!

Your parcel's here.

Got it.

Ran, I'll go get my parcel now.

I'll call you again tonight.

Okay.

I love you.

I've been reading the papers all day.

My eyes can't take it anymore.

You need some rest, though.

I'm worried about you.

Oh, right.

I've got an update for you.

Apparently, Charan...

is gonna be working at the Ministry of Environment.

Charan? The Ministry of Environment?

Yeah,

but I'm not sure what his position is.

Are you ever coming back to Emmaly, though?

You've been away for so long.

I just got here not long ago.

It feels like it's been forever, though.

Don't you wanna come back?

Well...

I gotta finish my degree first.

I'll think about it after that.

Gosh, all that effort, and you didn't fall for it.

Have you talked to Charan at all, though?

Well...

yeah, sometimes.

But he's been busy these days.

So you don't get to talk, right?

I should hang up, then,

so you can call him, okay?

Goodnight, Nin.

Welcome to call-back service.

You're up?

Ran!

I'm not dreaming, am I?

Are you really here?

Yeah,

I am.

To see you.

Ran, did you know

I couldn't reach you last night,

so I couldn't sleep at all?

I'm sorry.

I was probably on the plane

when you called.

I wanted to surprise my dear Nin.

But if you're here,

don't you have duties with His Majesty anymore?

I'm sorry

for how unclear I was and for making you upset.

But from now on,

I'm staying right here with you.

Something's off with you lately.

What's with this wine night?

Got too much time or what?

I have made up my mind.

Made up your mind?

From now on, the Phithakthewas

will no longer serve as the royal guards of the Assavadevathins.

What?

You mean...

you quit?

I guess that word...

may be right.

You're here, Charan?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What brings you here to seek my presence?

I have come to make a humble request.

I ask that the vow the Phithakthewas made

to the Assavadevathins be dissolved.

We shall no longer serve as your royal guards, Your Majesty.

Very well.

It was merely a promise between our ancestors after all.

I have no intention of holding you to it any further.

I am most grateful.

But may I ask you something?

Why would someone so resolute in his duty like you

choose to end the vow?

Because the time has come, Your Majesty,

for me to let go of my duty

and follow the calling of my own heart.

♫You've always been my only one, still♫

♫Since fate first brought us together♫

♫I've never forgotten any of that, like never♫

Don't take this as a lecture,

but remember

to never keep someone you love waiting.

Time waits for no one, Charan.

♫Just for you, my one and only♫

I am most grateful, Your Majesty.

Right now, your duty is

to follow your heart

and love him with everything you have.

♫Letting other voices pass by♫

♫Just for a few seconds,♫

♫My love is for no one else,♫

♫But you♫

I resigned from my duty as a royal guard

and ended the vow made to the Assavadevathins.

I flew across the skies

to tell you...

I love you, Khanin.

I love you, too.

♫So my heart's solely made♫

♫Just for you, my one and only♫

♫I'll look the other way,♫

♫Ignoring every word they say♫

♫I'll turn a blind eye♫

♫And just let other voices pass by♫

♫Just for a few seconds,♫

♫My love is for no one else,♫

♫But you♫

I'm up, Dad!

Can I come in?

Yeah.

Are you surprised?

You knew he'd come, didn't you?

Well...

If I told you,

it wouldn't be a surprise.

Come on, Dad!

Breakfast is ready.

Join us, Charan.

Okay, Dad.

Here you go.

Oh...

Here.

It's okay.

- Take your seat. - Okay.

Alright.

It feels just like that time we had a meal together.

But...

Chakri wasn't with us.

Did I miss something?

No.

It was totally different back then.

Nin had this scowl on his face

cause he didn't like Charan.

Look at him now.

He's glued to Charan.

He was trying way too hard to be strict, you know.

I was just being quiet.

You should take him out after this meal.

Let's do that tomorrow.

He must be tired from his flight.

Then let's dig in

before the food gets cold.

Okay.

Enjoy your meal.

- I'm digging in. - Here.

This soup is amazing.

Give it a taste, Charan.

Okay.

So sweet, isn't it?

Is it good, Chakri?

Chakri!

Oh...

Oh!

Your Royal Highness...

Oh,

right...

I can't call you that.

You're just "Nin" now.

What were you doing?

Look,

I was watching a series on iQIYI.

There's a lot to choose from across different genres.

And the best part...

They've got BL series, too.

Are you a fan of BL series?

Well,

I'm a big fan.

They're just...

so good

and heart-fluttering.

Let me see.

I wanna watch some, too.

Let my heart flutter as well.

Sure, here you go.

Check this out.

Come on, Mr. Charan.

Watch it with us.

Come on.

- This is so cute, Ran. - You're right.

Just as cute as you.

Oops...

This is even more heart-fluttering.

What are you doing?

Why the long face?

I still have no idea where to take you.

Anywhere you wanna go?

Ran?

There's one place I wanna go.

Can you take me there?

I missed this smell so bad.

You still smell so pleasant, Nin.

♫On a night when no stars grace the sky♫

♫And silence drifts as the hours pass by,♫

♫No matter how deep the cold may bite,♫

♫One warm soul, standing in sight,♫

♫Can make the dark heart glow so bright♫

♫With nothing but love to set things right♫

♫The one who could fill in my missing part,♫

I can kiss you, too, you know.

♫If you're the one destined for my heart,♫

♫Then love is near, we're not so far apart♫

♫I need your love, the only love I've longed for,♫

♫Just the word "love" from you, and that's all♫

♫Let me hear it, I won't ask for more♫

♫I need your love, the only one I adore,♫

♫My heart's been waiting just for you, my all♫

Say please.

Please.

I missed you, good boy.

No, I'm a good "babe."

♫The world's a fairy tale,♫

♫In your arms tonight♫

♫I wish to stop this time,♫

♫And make you forever mine♫

♫Ooh, dancing in the moonlight with you,♫

♫Under the stars, just us two♫

♫With every beat, my heart's complete♫

♫You...♫

♫You made my dream come true♫

♫Oh, and it is only you♫

♫Hold me so tight,♫

♫All through the night♫

After I came back,

I started coming here often.

It's a bit far,

but it's peaceful right here.

Nin.

Yeah?

This ring...

You remember it, right?

You told me

this was your parents' wedding ring.

That's right.

And now,

this ring will be yours.

Will you marry me?

I've received permission from His Majesty and your dad.

May I put this ring on your finger?

♫Do you know, my dear?♫

I'll cherish and take care of you with all I have, Khanin.

I promise.

♫I know we'll fly beyond with no fear♫

♫Right, my dear?♫

♫I'll never fade or drift away♫

♫Beside you is where I'll always stay♫

♫The only one I need each day,♫

♫It's just you, my heart won't stray♫

♫Let me just love you as the moments fly♫

♫That's all I ask, to call you mine♫

♫The world may shift over time♫

♫Let me hold your hand so tight♫

♫Through every joy and tear we find,♫

♫Like the sky, I'm by your side♫

♫Do you know what makes the sky shine,♫

♫Keeping it lovely up high?♫

♫It's when the majestic sea reflects the sky♫

♫Just like you and me, side by side♫

♫It's enough for me, your hand in mine♫

♫Right, my sunshine?♫

♫I'll never fade or drift away♫

I love you, too.

♫Beside you is where I'll always stay♫

♫The only one I need each day,♫

♫It's just you, my heart won't stray♫

♫Let me just love you as the moments fly♫

♫That's all I ask, to call you mine♫

♫The world may shift over time♫

♫Let me hold your hand so tight♫

♫Through every joy and tear we find,♫

♫Like the sky, I'm by your side♫

♫Let me just love you as the moments fly♫

♫That's all I ask, to call you mine♫

♫The world may shift over time♫

♫Let me hold your hand so tight♫

♫Through every joy and tear we find,♫

♫Like the sky, I'm by your side♫

♫No matter how endless the sky may seem,♫

♫And how treacherous this journey might be,♫

♫If I must cross the heavens, I'll set out willingly,♫

♫As long as you're there, waiting for me♫

♫We'll build a bridge of a million stars,♫

♫Let love guide us, no matter how far♫

♫All I ask is to trust in love and in me,♫

♫Take my hand and you will see,♫

♫Above the sky, we're meant to be♫
