NO WAY. I'VE TRAVELED TO KINGSTONIA AS A

VALOR HOUSE OUTCAST. BANISHED TO THE

COLD PALACE AS A UNIC.

>> 10 years since I saw his face. Blood and

tears still

staining my old sleeves.

Damn. Just got here and it is already

this wild. Wait, I still feel it. I am a

fake unic.

>> That bastard emperor is wasting a gem.

Such a beauty banished to the cold

palace.

Congratulations. Host Destiny

acquisition system activated.

>> System. I ACTUALLY AWAKENED.

>> DESTINY acquisition system host every

time. Every time you sabotage others.

Sabotage others. Earn destiny points.

Earn points for a life draw. God dies.

>> Sabotage. Destiny.

>> Destiny acquisition system. Seduce.

Miranda. Cuckold. Emperor. James.

Cuckle. James. Earn massive destiny

points. Cuckle. Earn massive points.

>> Coord counts a sabotage system. Are you

serious? From my memories, Miranda is

bloodthirsty. The unic serving her.

Never survive half a month. Go after

her. I must be suicidal.

>> Eddie.

>> Yes. Your ladyship.

>> Her lady ship wants you to fetch more

hot water. Didn't you hear? How dare

you? Zone out.

>> Forgive me, my lady. I happened TO

OVERHEAR YOUR LADYSHIP'S POEM. IT moved

me and I zoned out.

>> You

know poetry?

a little this woman calling me. Now I

have the system. Once I get stronger,

I'll make you kneel and sing.

>> Then tell me what's so good about my

poem. If you can tell me, I'll reward

you handsomely.

If you can't,

I'll have you fed to the dogs.

>> What's this?

Never heard of it.

>> [bell]

>> I think this poem is quite ordinary, not

worth commenting on.

>> How dare you? This is Chancellor Lewis's

new work. The talk of the capital. How

dare you criticize it.

>> Don't tell me you have a better poem.

>> Your ladyship.

>> She's known for her cruelty.

If I can't come up with a stunning poem,

I am afraid I am done for today. I've

got it. Recite it.

>> Fragrant petals in the wind.

Too tired to comb my hair.

All things changed. All done.

Words fail. Tears flow.

>> This poem. Something's soft.

>> I hear the spring at twin streams is

fair and think of rowing there. But fear

the boat on twin streams

>> can't carry

my load of care.

>> Eddie,

>> did you really write this?

>> Your ladyship.

As a time traveler, not using ancient

poems to show off would be a total

waste.

Once I was the fairest in the court.

All the ladies bowed to my command. Now

I am banished to the cold palace, left

with only loneliness. This poem

truly speaks my heart. Who knew a little

unic could understand my innermost

thoughts? Your majesty. How could you be

so heartless?

>> Congratulations. Post the destiny

acquisition system. Post. You

successfully made Miranda. Successfully

made Miranda. Suspicion of Emperor

James. Suspicion of Emperor James. Plus

2,000 Destiny points.

>> That works. Just a poem gives so many

points. Then if I get a bit closer,

>> Eddie.

>> Yes. Your lady ship

>> need my shoulders.

>> Yes.

So soft sock, so smooth and supple.

>> Odd. Why does his touch make me feel

this way? After all, he is just a little

unic.

All right, that's enough for today. You

may leave. From now on, you are to be my

personal unic.

>> Yes, I'll take my leave.

Rosie,

get me fresh water. I'll bathe again.

>> System draw.

>> Congratulations, host Grandmaster

Mountain Fist, Grandmaster Cloudep.

Two grandmaster skills

turned me from a nobody into a fifth

ranked master. With this, I'll soon

reach the Marshall pinnacle.

>> You lazy wretch. Still sleeping.

>> Get up AND EMPTY MY CHAMBER POT. Empty

the pot.

>> I AM TALKING TO YOU. THEREFORE, WHAT

LOOKS LIKE TODAY I'LL HAVE TO TEACH YOU

A LESSON.

So awesome. My goodness. How's that

possible? You're a martial artist.

>> What are you doing?

>> Stay back.

>> Next life. Don't be so arrogant.

>> Congratulations on killing little guy.

Destiny points plus 100.

>> Killing gives destiny points.

What's going on?

>> So boring. Edward killed little guy.

>> How dare you kill in the cold palace. Do

you think I am invisible? I am the head

unicold palace. Guards

drag Eddie out AND BEAT HIM TO DEATH.

>> WHO?

This is Lady Fox's palace token.

How did you get it?

>> I AM NOW LADY FOX'S PERSONAL UNIC.

Little guy disrespected me and insulted

HER LADY. I KILLED HIM for good reason.

>> What? His Lady Fox personal unic?

>> Why him? Lady Fox rules the COLD PALACE.

WITH HER BACKING, he can do whatever he

wants in the cold palace. Don't think

with Lady Fox. You can do as you please.

I am the one in charge of the code

palace. You'd better not cross me.

Exactly. Or even her leadership can't

save you.

Thanks for the reminder.

In my past life, I was the heir of

valor. Because the Duke was too

powerful, the emperor feared him, framed

him for treason, wiped out my clan,

banished me to the cold palace, made a

unic utterly humiliated, and the

empress's skin have long clashed with

Valor, seeking to wipe us out. I'm all

alone now in this cold palace. Only with

Lady Fox protection. Can I survive?

But Lady Fox is moody and bloodthirsty.

Though I gained some favor today, to

have her protect me won't be easy.

That little brat survived and got Lady

Fox's backing. Looks like I'll have to

do it myself.

Somebody

there. Somebody help. IS ANYONE THERE?

>> COMING.

>> KING. It is an emergency. HER LADY SHIP

FELL IN.

>> WHAT?

>> Save her.

>> FINALLY, WITH LADY FOX, GAIN SOME FAVOR.

THIS BACKER CAN'T LOSE HER NOW.

>> WHERE? THERE.

>> GO.

This way.

>> Where?

There she is. I AM COMING.

>> Lady chef. Lady chef. Somebody fetch the

position.

>> There is no time. Need to do mouth TO

MOUTH AND CPR.

>> WHAT'S CPR? MOVE. I'll do it.

>> Oh, dare you.

You wreck. STOP IT.

>> CAN'T LET HER DIE. SHUT UP.

>> I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH a method. IF SHE

DOESN'T WAKE, I'LL kill you to protect

her honor.

>> Your lady ship.

>> How are you feeling?

Your lady ship.

>> Why did you hit me?

>> You wret. How dare you take advantage

of my unconscious state? I'll have you

torn to pieces. Guards.

>> NO. WAIT.

YOUR lady ship. WAIT, I WAS SAVING YOU.

THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY. SHE'S ALWAYS

THREATENING TO KILL.

>> SAVING ME? [snorts] How preposterous

in this world? How could there be such a

lude way to save someone and you stuck

your tongue in?

>> Your ladyship, Sir King, did risk his

life to jump in and save you. Then he

revived you. as you can see.

>> Is that true?

>> Yes.

>> Fine then. I suppose I was wrong about

you. My apologies.

>> Your leadership. What did you say? I

didn't hear you.

>> Sorry. Forget it then.

Since you saved me, what reward do you

want?

>> It was my duty. I dare not claim credit.

All right, then. I'll make you the new

head unic of the cold palace.

>> Your lady ship, isn't that Master

Warren?

>> Well, not anymore.

>> THANK YOU. YOUR LADY SHIP.

this uniform. I look great,

You want to kill me? You got lucky last

time. Not this time.

Could it be you hate Emperor James, too?

>> My people were all killed by Emperor

James. I became a unic. All thanks to

Emperor James.

>> Then you and I share the same pain.

>> You're badly hurt.

>> The Emperor's head unic destroyed my

Dante. I don't have long.

If I can save you, what will you do?

>> You save me?

>> Yes.

>> My condition. Even the greatest healers

can't cure.

Much less you.

>> If I save you,

you must serve me. You'll do as I

command.

>> How dare you?

Even if you could. Even if you save me,

I'd never trade my freedom and dignity.

>> Is that so?

>> What's this?

>> Just a whiff of it and my energy is

restored. How can it be so magical?

>> This is the elixir of renewal. It can

raise the debt. Your minor injury is

nothing to it.

>> Such a magical pill. Even the royals

can't get you. A mere unic. How did you

get it?

>> You don't need to know.

>> I thought you were a talent so I'd save

you unexpectedly. You're so unyielding.

I truly admire you. Fine. I respect your

choice.

>> My lord. From the moment I saw you, I

felt a connection. If you'll have me, I

will serve you as my master.

I will serve you as my master. Do with

me as you please from now on.

>> Really?

>> I swear on my marshall heart.

>> You're a smart one.

Take it.

Congratulations,

host healed Diana's wounds. Severely

threatened Emperor Jensen plus thousand

destiny points. Obtained top tier

technique. Yinya mastery through dual

cultivation greatly enhanced cultivation

and talent.

>> Dual cultivation makes me stronger as

long as I have the right partner.

>> How is this possible?

My internal wounds instantly all healed.

But I was a young grandmaster. Yet I

couldn't get near that tyrant. My

Dantian's been hurt too long. Now I am

innate. All hope is lost.

>> I know a technique to restore your

power. Interesting.

>> Really?

But it is a special technique.

It requires two people to cultivate

together.

>> Dual cultivation. Impossible. Absolutely

not.

>> My technique is extraordinary.

Not only will it restore your power,

it'll boost your talent. Miss

Somerfield. You don't want to see that

tyrant lie free while you can't touch

him.

If I can avenge

my sacrifice is nothing.

Besides,

this guy isn't that bad looking.

[snorts]

If you lie to me, I'll haunt you even

from beyond the grave.

I'll haunt you even in death.

Successfully dual cultivated. I keep

leveling up. Unbeatable. I can't wait.

What reward WILL THE SYSTEM GIVE? COME

ON OUT. Surprise me.

>> Help Diana recover. Help Diana recover.

Congratulations. Help Diana recover.

1,000 destiny points. Destiny

>> Congratulations. You have obtained

Grandmaster Supreme technique.

A grandmaster level martial art. Taking

down innate masters will be a breeze.

[sighs]

Silkworms spin until death.

Candles burn to ash. Tears finally dry.

>> Your ladyship summoned me

>> the other day. The poem you wrote for

me, I really loved it.

I couldn't put it down.

I called you here specifically

to write another

about love.

How about it?

>> Love

this woman. Could she be hinting at

something? Whatever. Let her banger so

she won't get mad and threaten me. As

you wish.

>> Your ladyship done.

>> That fast.

These characters

beautiful.

You know, calligraphy

>> a little.

>> That is an understatement.

Look at these characters.

So elegant, so powerful. It is a

masterpiece.

Masterful.

Edward,

>> you're a genius.

>> You flatter me. Your ladyship.

Look at the lines.

If love is meant to last,

why crave the day and night?

How much tenderness must fill your heart

to pen such

tender lines?

>> I wrote this for your ladyship.

Glad you like it.

>> What does he mean? Is he using this

banan to say something to me? If that's

the case, what should I do?

>> My position with her should be secure

now. Even if the empress targets me, she

can be my ally.

>> Sir King,

can you teach me calligraphy?

>> How could I refuse your ladyship's

request?

How dare YOU DISRESPECTING HER

LEADERSHIP cording death.

You wret. HOW DARE YOU FIGHT BACK?

>> STOP IT. Sir King is my personal

attendant and my teacher.

Just now, Sir King was teaching me

calligraphy. You bunch of brutes armed

with weapons storming my chambers. What

is the meaning of this? Do you seek to

rebel?

>> We dare not, but yesterday his majesty

was attacked. The assassin fled to the

cold palace. Whereabouts unknown. We're

here to protect your lady ships.

>> What did you say? His majesty was

attacked.

>> They must be after Diana.

But she has already reached Grandmaster.

They shouldn't be able to stop her.

>> Then why aren't you hunting THE

ASSASSIN? WHY COME to my chambers?

>> We'll go at once.

If love can last forever,

why crave for day and night?

What tender lines?

If I weren't in the cold palace

and he weren't a unic,

how perfect it would be.

Your leadership, are you asleep?

>> Captain Lewis, why aren't you hunting

the assassin? Why come here in the

middle of the night?

>> It is late. The assassin is gone. I

worry for your lady ship's safety. So, I

came to guard you. Please open the door.

>> Your concern is appreciated, but you may

guard outside.

>> Then I have no choice.

but to disobey.

>> How dare you, Captain Lewis? What are

you doing? Cording death.

>> Exactly.

From the day you entered the palace,

I've been obsessed with you. But you

were always above me, never sparing me a

glance.

Now you're in the cold palace. My chance

has finally come.

>> Nonsense. Captain Lewis, aren't you

afraid? I'll tell HIS MAJESTY.

GO AHEAD, TELL HIS MAJESTY. SEE WHAT

HAPPENS TO A DEFILED CONCUBINE IN THE

ROYAL GUARD.

>> STOP STRUGGLING. YOU'VE BEEN HERE SO

LONG.

>> YOU MUST CRAVE A MAN.

>> NO. LET GO.

A mere guard dares touch a lady ship

courting death.

You wret.

How dare YOU RUIN MY FUN?

>> A mere guard dare storm her leadership's

chambers with ill intent. You are

courting death.

>> Once I kill you, no one will know.

They'll only know. dot dot dot dot dot

dot dot. It was the assassins.

As for you, I won't let you die until

I've had my fun.

You're a master. How's that possible? An

innate master. How could you be in the

cold palace as a unic? Who are you?

>> You are dead. You don't need to know.

Your ladyship, are you all right?

Thank goodness you came.

Lady ship, I finally see if his majesty

still had any feelings for me. Even a

lowly guard

wouldn't dare touch me. Now I have

nothing.

>> Your lady ship, you have me.

You

>> aren't you a unit?

>> There is something. I'll tell you all

about it.

Congratulations host conquered Miranda

Fox. Destiny acquisition system.

Congrats. H Emperor James. Cuckled it.

Hold it. Hold the emperor James. Gain

the destiny points.

>> Lucky draw.

>> Destiny acquisition system.

Congratulations host. Obtain got tier

disguise. Your disguise can't be seen

through.

>> What a treasure. Now I can move through

the palace without a worry.

>> It feels like a dream. I am scared

when I wake up.

>> You're a virgin.

>> My father was the chancellor.

But his majesty never liked him.

Though I was made a lady,

he never visited me.

Letter father was framed for treason.

My whole clan was wiped out. I was sent

to the cold palace.

So I never had the chance.

Your ladyship, are you awake?

What is it? Her Royal Highness is here

to see you.

>> The Princess Regent is His Majesty's

sister. If she finds out about us, we're

done for.

>> Charlotte, what brings you here?

>> I heard there was an assassin in the

cold palace. Worried about you. I came

to check on you.

Who is he?

>> I am Edward King, the unic in charge of

the Cold Palace.

>> Since you're in charge, tell me. Last

night, how did Captain Lewis die?

>> Captain Lewis invaded Miranda's room.

Whether he succeeded, it is a scandal.

And who knows, they'll be silenced. I

must hide my strength.

Your highness, Captain Lewis, fought the

assassin and fell.

>> Really? Royal Guard reports the assassin

is strong and uses palm strikes, but

Captain Lewis clearly died by a master

swordsman.

Sir, King,

you're a master swordsman.

Princess Chest, I am just a humble unic.

I know nothing of martial arts, let

alone match Captain Lewis.

>> You don't know martial arts?

>> Yes,

>> but I heard the other day you publicly

killed a young unic.

>> This

little vixen came prepared. I just have

natural strength.

Natural

strength.

Really?

Charlotte, what are you doing? Edward is

my personal attendant.

Don't tell me. You think he's an

assassin?

>> He may not be an assassin, but

>> Tell me, how long has it been? You just

arrived and you're already bossing my

unic around. What are you doing? That is

not what I meant.

Fine, fine. Since you know best, I won't

say more. You may leave. I have matters

to discuss.

>> I'll take my leave.

It is you.

Unexpected. I underestimated you. This

little bastard hid his strength.

>> You're not bad either. An innate master,

huh? But seriously, all I did was take

your head unic post. Is that worth

killing for?

>> A mere cold palace had unic.

Why would I care if someone hadn't

marked you for death?

>> Why would I

>> come to this hell hole?

>> Someone wants me dead. The empress.

>> You're sharp, bastard.

>> But you're too late.

offended the empress. You're dead for

sure.

>> Supreme sword ice.

>> How's that possible?

You are so strong.

>> I didn't come for you, but you came

straight to me.

>> Don't kill me. I was just following the

Empress's orders.

>> PLEASE SPARE ME. I'LL BE YOUR SLAVE.

>> A slave.

You can't just D1. Go to hell.

>> Congratulations on killing Master

Warren. Plus 300 Destiny points.

Empress, you want me dead? Not that

easy.

When I am invincible, I make you heal.

Sing love beyond death.

After all that, finally time to relax.

[sighs] Looks like many want me dead.

Edward,

it is just me.

>> What's going on?

>> Outside the royal guard, doubled in

number. I had no choice but to hide

here.

>> Looks like they're ON THIS WAY. SEARCH

THOROUGHLY.

>> Sir King,

>> how dare you?

I am her leadership's personally

appointed head unic. Who are you? How

dare you break in?

>> We are merely searching for the

assassin. No offense intended.

>> Assassin? The damn assassin actually

broke into my room.

>> The assassin is at large. We're just

conducting a search.

>> Very well, then search away.

>> Search.

>> Be careful.

If you break anything, you can't afford

it.

>> Sorry, sir. King, we'll take our leaf.

Congratulations,

host rescued Diana Summerfield plus 500

Destiny points.

>> All right, come out.

>> These hounds are relentless.

>> You are a grandmaster. How did you get

so beaten up?

>> King Stonia has so many masters. Even as

a grandmaster, you can't let your guard

down. Even Grandmaster isn't enough.

Looks like I really need to get

stronger.

>> Number the palace is too dangerous. You

must leave at once. One day we'll work

together to topple the Empire, making my

rescue of you worthwhile.

>> I couldn't agree more.

>> But you just said, "Who's the damn

assassin?"

>> I was just putting on a show, you know.

>> It is fine. I understand.

>> What are you doing? Oh no.

>> System draw.

>> Look, I believe in the light.

>> Miranda, it is your birthday. I brought

two fine wines to celebrate with you.

Then I am coming in.

What brings you here?

On your birthday's past, I was stuck on

the front lines.

But this time, I am back, so it is

different.

Just got up.

I've been a bit tired.

I just took a nap.

What is she doing here?

Is there someone else

>> in this cold palace? How could there be

a man? Impossible.

>> Man,

did I just say man?

I mean,

you are not getting any younger.

You need a man.

Miranda,

we grew up together.

You know full well I have no interest in

those men. You and I are perfect for

each other.

Don't reject me.

>> What the? The the princess regent is a

lesbian. This woman is stealing my girl.

>> Behind us. No.

>> Charlotte. I've told you so many times.

We're not meant to be. We can only be

sisters.

Sisters?

>> Her Imperial Majesty is here.

>> Why is he here?

Why is his majesty here? He never comes

here. Why today of all days?

No. Mother Queen hates me here. If James

finds out, I am done for. I need to find

a place to hide. Hide. Hide. Got it.

No way.

>> Are you kidding me?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here? And naked.

>> Do you believe in light?

>> Light? Oh no, it is too late. Get in.

His majesty is coming.

Your Majesty.

>> No need. Calm said.

>> Thank you,

>> your Majesty. What brings you here

today?

I I wasn't prepared.

>> Look at this feast

and two jugs of wine. Looks ready to me.

>> I prepared this just for you.

>> There's a poem going viral in the

palace.

Fragrant Petals in the Wind. They say it

started from here.

>> Thank you for remembering.

This poem was indeed written by a unic

here. Somehow it got out.

>> The Dagger Queen loves this poem. She

ordered me to find the poet. I haven't

seen you in a while. Just came to visit

and ask for the doller.

>> Thank you, your majesty.

>> It seems my palace has hidden talents.

Even a unic has such talent.

>> That bastard. Why is he here talking

poetry? Is he done playing? Wants to

kill me.

>> I always thought this unic

was suspicious.

What are you doing? Taking advantage of

me.

>> Didn't you say you don't know martial

arts? Let me check your bones.

>> YOU EVEN GO FOR UNIX. STOP IT.

>> You You're not a unic.

>> You're not a unic.

What's that noise,

>> your majesty? It's me, my cat.

>> Very well.

This little unit is quite the poet. At

the upcoming Autumn Moon Poetry Gala,

you take him there. The Daager loves

poetry. If you please her, you'll be

richly rewarded.

>> Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll remember.

Your Majesty, have some more.

>> If his majesty sees us hiding IN THE

CLOSET, HALF-DRESSED, WHAT DO YOU THINK

HE'LL DO?

>> It was an accident.

>> Congratulations, host. You've made

contact with Emperor James's sister,

Charlotte Windsor, plus 500 Destiny

points.

>> She seems to care about her reputation.

If she really doesn't care and Emperor

James finds out I'm truly dead meat.

This bastard looks like he is alone. But

masters hide in the shadows. If I strike

now, I won't even get within 3 ft. I

must get stronger.

Your Majesty,

>> it has been a while. Does it seem to me

you are more beautiful?

>> Beast.

Your Majesty Jesus.

I am already past my prime.

Looking back now, that old matter. You

were innocent. If you wish, starting

today, move back to the main palace.

>> Thank you, your majesty. I am past my

prime and used to life in the cold

palace. I fear I can't serve your

majesty.

>> Out of my kindness, I let her leave the

cold palace. She should be overjoyed.

Why does she look so afraid?

>> Are you still blaming me?

I dare not.

I just

don't want to go back

to that life of intrigue.

>> Enough.

If you don't want to, then stay here

forever. Don't leave.

>> Farewell. Your majesty.

>> Your lady ship. HELP. YOUR LADY SHIP.

HELP.

>> You [ __ ] How dare you touch me? I

swear I'll rip you apart.

>> Your highness. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. I

didn't mean TO TOUCH YOU THERE.

>> SHUT UP. I'll kill you.

LET GO OF ME.

>> HOW DARE I?

>> This wretch. How is he so strong? With

my innate power, I can't break free from

his grip. Enough. Stop it.

A man in your room.

Don't tell me

you two are lovers.

Yes.

What did you say?

>> You are right.

I am indeed Edward's woman.

>> Miranda, do you know what you're saying?

>> Of course I do. And I also know if this

matter is ever found out by his majesty

and the da queen,

>> it is a capital crime. Then why do it

>> princess? If one day you meet a man whom

you love, then you

will understand me.

>> What's so good about him? Is he worth

risking your life for?

He is dot dot dot dot dot dotbr aliens

dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot and

we believe.

>> Aren't you afraid? I'll tell his majesty

and the daer queen.

>> It is fine. If you want to tell them

then go ahead. If we die together,

I think dot dot dot dot dot it would be

romantic.

Fine. Your secret is safe with me.

However,

what you did to me today,

I will never forget.

You did well just now, but one thing was

wrong.

>> Which part?

>> We won't die.

>> We're up against his majesty.

If we anger him, the whole world won't

accept us.

>> If the world rejects us, then we shall

change the

>> Okay.

I believe you.

Your lady ship news from outside. Master

Warren is dead. Probably the same

assassin.

>> Understood. Humanely.

>> Yes.

>> Why would the assassin kill Master

Warren?

>> I killed him.

>> What did you say? You

>> The empress sent assassins. I killed

them.

The Empress, Vivien Southgate.

Back then, Vivien and I vied for the

throne. I lost and was banished. Who

knew she'd hold a grudge and take it out

on a unic?

>> It is not about you. It is about me.

>> You

>> do you know the House of Valor?

>> The Duke of Valor is a pillar of

Kingstonia.

Is he not? But I heard not long ago he

colluded with enemies, enraging his

majesty and was executed.

>> I am the Duke's heir and the only

survivor.

>> You

are you serious?

>> My family was loyal, but our power grew.

So his majesty cast me into exile as a

unic. The Empress's kin and my family

are sworn enemies.

>> The Duke of Valor is a hero. Spare one

bloodline.

His majesty is heartless. Unfortunately,

I am just a disgraced concubine. I can't

help you.

>> It is fine.

Revenge takes time. We'll take it slow.

The emperor wants me dead. I'll make him

wear a green hat. More destiny points.

When I am invincible, I'll chop off your

heads.

>> Oh, right. The autumn moon poetry gala.

The daajger loves poetry and talented

people.

Then if you can impress

the Daajer queen,

you rise to power.

>> The Dowager

is a good ally.

>> Your lady ship, word from the cold

palace. His majesty visited Miranda.

>> What did he say? His majesty wanted to

move Miranda out. Miranda refused. His

majesty was furious.

>> That [ __ ] tries to play hard to get

with his majesty. She doesn't know she

is playing with fire.

>> However,

>> Miranda has special permission to attend

the Dowardger's poetry gathering. Is

that true? The Daager is revered. If she

takes a liking to Miranda, she might

regain power.

>> I beat her once. I'll beat her forever.

>> Go.

>> Bring me the best poets in the capital.

I will make Miranda low space in front

of the daager and never rise again.

>> Yes.

>> Right. That Valor house wretch. How's it

going?

>> Master Warren was killed by assassins.

No news yet.

>> Killing a unit and you messed up.

Useless.

After all, he is just a useless little

unic. Your leadership wants him dead.

Why not just order it?

>> Before his death, the Duke made a deal.

He offered his clan's resources to spare

one bloodline. His majesty agreed.

>> If that is the case, why make him a

unic? Isn't that going back on your

word? How dare you? How dare you defy

his majesty? How dare you defy his

majesty?

>> I spoke out of turn. I deserve death.

>> This matters stays in your mouth.

Now find someone reliable. Go again.

Leave no trace. Yes.

>> What brings you out today? What a lovely

day indeed.

>> What a crowd.

>> Of course, Queen Matilda entered the

palace at 13. She's brilliant and helped

raise his majesty, seized power and sits

above all. Her gatherings are truly

grand.

>> Why the disguise today?

>> House of valor treason, right? And few

know. I am a unic here. If my identity

is exposed, comma da da da da da. It

could cause trouble.

>> Sure. In a bit, I'll go pay respects to

the daager. You come in later.

Miranda and I are in this together.

Helping her gain favor gives her more

strength to fight the Empress. The safer

I'll be.

>> Who are you?

I'm Lady Fox's unic

>> know all of Miranda's Unix and maids.

Why haven't I seen you?

>> I am new here,

your highness.

>> Miranda has few unuks. Who could come

here? Only Edward King. That wretch.

Could it be?

Princess, what do you want?

>> With skills like that, you are still

denying it.

>> Princess, you're mistaken.

>> Then let go. I'll find out.

>> You crazy woman. Are you insane?

>> You're hiding at a poetry event. You're

definitely up to something. I'll tell

the queen mother.

What do you want?

>> Simple.

Fight me fair and square.

>> Is that necessary?

>> Absolutely. No weapons before. I want to

have a real man's duel. Let Miranda see

who is the strongest.

>> Forget it. With weapons, you'll lose

faster.

>> Cut the crap. If you don't agree, I'll

expose you for sneaking into

>> the poetry gathering. Fine, I'll do it.

Okay,

>> that's more like it.

>> This crazy woman, don't fall into my

hands or else I'll straighten you out.

Those across the way, our capital city's

famous poets. They've written many

poems. their poems. Even the Daager

queen praised

>> at this event. It is all the concubines.

With so many men, aren't they afraid of

gossip?

>> You don't know. Her majesty believes the

concubines air the royal family's face.

If the concubines are just pretty faces,

it shames the royal family. So, the

daager never stops. the concubines from

associating with these talents as long

as they keep it proper.

>> The daager is truly a remarkable woman.

>> Well, well, look who it is.

Viven Southgate.

>> It is Miranda.

Why sit in this corner?

Who arranged this? How impudent.

Your Majesty, she is a disgraced

concubine. By rights, she shouldn't even

be here.

>> Look at me dealing with haram affairs

all day. So busy, I forgot about this.

Miranda, my apologies.

Don't worry, sister.

Thanks to you in the cold palace. I am

doing great. I eat and sleep well. My

skin's even better.

Look,

you know what? Her skin is flawless.

So fair and tender like water. Better

than her majesties.

>> Miranda took my beauty elixir. Vivian

can't compare.

>> Her majesty, the daager queen.

All hail her majesty.

When House of Feller fell, the daager

interceded. My past self survived

largely thanks to her. I could try to

use her power.

Matilda Northwood Dowager Queen Charm 98

loves poetry and calligraphy. Admires

the learned conquer the daager. Become

James's dad. Get massive destiny points.

>> Conquer the dowager system. You really

want to play it risky.

>> Today we gather to share our poetry.

Please be seated.

>> THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.

AT today's poetry gathering, as we

always do, let's start with a moon poem.

Who would like to go first?

>> I am not worthy, but I'll start.

>> Mr. Sullivan's pro tea, please.

>> The moon hangs bright. Omantha's falls.

Friends and kin gather.

Tea and laughter fill the air.

>> Truly Mr. Sullivan's praa. Simple as it

is. It flows beautifully and has great

charm.

>> Needs some polish, but impromptu. This

level of skill is quite good.

Who else has a poem?

>> I have a poem. Please review it.

The moon glides silently.

All menthas sense the air. All laugh on

this reunion night. Alone. I feel the

cold.

>> Emotion and scenery. Perfect rhythm.

What a masterpiece.

>> In such a short time to write such a

poem, William Lewis is truly the

chancellor's son. Indeed, a fine piece.

Charlotte, what do you think?

Mother is right.

William's father is the renowned

scholar, his majesty's chancellor. It

seems William Lewis has inherited his

father's gift. Edward, are you

confident?

>> Them not good enough. No need to worry.

You lonely Yonuk. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK SO

ARROGANTLY?

>> EARLIER. Did you say William Lewis's

poem is just average?

Oh, Vivien. He is just a unic. He was

just talking. Why get mad at him?

>> Just talking. But his tone just now was

so arrogant.

He showed no respect for teen scholars

at all.

>> Miranda, don't take this wrong. This

autumn festival is a grand event. You

brought a slave. What's going on

>> exactly? I was wondering what that

stench is. A lowly unit. Dare show his

face here.

>> Bringing him is bad enough, but he

actually dares to criticize William's

poem so shamelessly.

Who says at a poetry contest you can't

bring a unic? At today's event, everyone

brought a scholar or poet. Only you

brought a unic.

Don't tell me you want him to write

poetry here.

>> So what?

What? You really do,

>> Miranda? I know in the cold palace you

can't meet any scholars, but you can't

just grab anyone. Everyone here is a

well-read genius. You brought this unic.

How can he compete? Make us compete with

a lowly unic in poetry. It's an insult

to us all.

>> So what if he is a unic? He is more

talented than you all.

>> What a joke.

We've studied for decades, mastering all

poetry.

How could he possibly be worthy to

COMPETE WITH US? GET OUT OF HERE. YES.

GET OUT.

>> Your ladyship, calm down. Don't waste

breath on trash.

>> YOU CASTRATED DOG. WHO IS TRASH? SORRY,

WILLIAM. No offense.

I mean, you're all trash.

>> You wret. What did you say?

>> How dare you? You wret.

>> Since when do you speak here, GUARDS?

TAKE THIS WRETCH OUTSIDE and beat him to

death. Toad

to day is the autumn moon poetry gala

which should be a joyous occasion. Why

the commotion? Why the violence?

Your majesty, I did not mean to disturb.

It is all Miranda's fault. How

outrageous. She brought a unic in here

selling this event.

>> You are quite handsome. Do you know

poetry?

a little.

>> How arrogant. Who doesn't know her

majesty's peerless wit? Throughout

history, she's a rare literary genius.

You, a mere unic, how dare you claim to

know poetry.

Poetry is for everyone.

But in this palace, rank matters. That's

the rule. Normally, insulting the ladies

is a capital crime. But today, I decided

to give you a chance. If you can write a

good poem, I won't kill you. You'll be

richly rewarded.

>> Thank you, your majesty.

>> You have half an hour. If you can write

a good poem, you're safe. If you fail,

don't blame my cruelty.

>> No need for half an hour. I can do it

right now.

>> Are you sure?

>> Of course. You are courting death. Her

majesty grants you a chance. Yet you

don't cherish it.

>> With her majesty's taste, even we

scholars can barely write poetry to

please her.

You, a mere unic, dare claim you can do

it now.

>> This is your chance to live.

Are you sure?

Edward, why don't you think it over?

Think again.

>> No need. It is done. Not a word needs

changing.

>> Go ahead, read it.

>> When will the moon shine bright?

I raise my cup to the sky.

Do you know in the heavens, Tonite?

What year it is?

>> Mother, this poem.

Quiet.

I'd ride the wind home, yet fear the

crystal holes TOO COLD ON HIGH, DANCING

WITH MY SHADOW. HOW COULD IT be real?

>> Dance with my shadow as if in heaven.

But grandeur, others write of the moon

or of loves sickness.

But he writes of the sky,

raising his cup to the sky.

>> Especially the last lines. It is lonely

at the top. Dance with my shadow as if

in heaven. IT IS SIMPLY BREATHTAKINGLY

BEAUTIFUL.

>> I underestimated this unic. He does have

some talent. But to outshine all the

talents, that's a pipe dream.

>> Exactly. Just these lines. We refuse to

accept this.

>> Why the rush? Eddie hasn't finished.

>> Silence.

Let him continue.

>> Round of a million tower shining on the

sleepless. There should be no

resentment. WHY IS IT FULL WHEN WE PART

men have joys and sorrows? The moon

waxes and waines since ancient times.

This is hard to achieve.

>> Oh, well said. This is hard to achieve.

Just this line captures the sorrow of

parting.

Who knew a unic could be so talented?

>> May we live long

and share

the moon afar.

How is this possible? He is just a unic.

How could he write such a poem? We've

studied for half our lives. Kama da da

da devoted to poetry. Yet we're outshown

by A UNIC.

>> NOT HALF A LIFE. EVEN 10 LIFETIMES. I

COULD NEVER WRITE SUCH A POEM. May we

live long and share the moon afar. IT IS

A TIMELESS MASTERPIECE.

>> IMPOSSIBLE. I don't believe it. That

unic by Miranda's side. How could he be

so talented? Impossible.

I don't believe it. That unic by Miranda

side. How could he be so talented?

Write another poem for me. How do him or

I'll HAVE YOU KILLED?

>> YOUR LADY SHIP. YOUR LADY SHIP. EVEN IF

YOU KILL MY WHOLE CLAN, I CAN'T WRITE

SUCH A POEM.

>> USELESS. Even a unic is better. What use

are you to me?

I heard before dot dot dot Miranda's

palace there were a few excellent poems.

Could they have been written by him?

Brilliant.

I am well-versed in poetry,

but my past works pale in comparison to

Mr. King's masterpiece.

Like fireflies to the moon. Not worth

mentioning.

>> Your majesty flatters me,

>> Eddie. No, Mr. King,

with this poem tonight, no other

mid-aumn poem matters.

No wonder, Mr. King, you could be so

bold with such a poem. You can indeed

look down on all scholars.

>> I don't think so.

Your Majesty, he's just a lowly unic.

How could he be so talented to write

such an unparalleled poem? He obviously

plagiarized it. Your ladyship, don't

slander him. This poem has never been

seen before. How could Eddie have

plagiarized?

>> Indeed,

such a masterpiece. If it existed

before, I would have known.

>> Perhaps it was some anonymous literary

giant.

This Unix stole it somehow. So, he dared

to claim it as his own to deceive you.

>> Exactly.

We are WELL READ, YET WE CAN'T WRITE

LIKE THIS.

HE IS JUST A UNIC. How could he? He must

have plagiarized.

>> Miranda Fox, how dare you collude with

this unic to deceive her majesty? Do you

know this is treason?

Colluding with this unic to deceive her

majesty. Do you know this is treason?

>> Your majesty, I speak the truth. Eddie

is truly a man of talent.

to accuse Mr. King of plagiarism is

rather hasty. Your Majesty,

I have a plan to test if he is truly

talent. Oh, let's hear it. Give him a

topic and have him write another.

Then we'll know.

Your Majesty, such masterpieces are

strokes of genius, not something you can

just dash off. Miranda, you are talking

about ordinary men. Mr. King wrote, "May

we live long sharing the moon afar."

Lines like that are beyond ordinary.

>> What do you think, Mr. King? If you are

not up to it today, I can grant you more

time to prepare.

>> Thank you, your majesty, but it is not

needed.

>> Does Mr. King already have a poem?

>> I have an idea. Since her majesty wants

another poem, then I'll just dash one

off. How arrogant poetry like this CAN'T

JUST BE DASH OFF. YOUNG AND impulsive

couldn't resist the bait. Instead of

proving himself, he has sealed his own

fate. If he makes a mess of it, no one

can save him today.

>> A unic is a unic. Foolish.

>> Mr. King, do you know if you fail to

write a proper poem, it is treason.

>> Thank you. to your majesty.

>> Since you've decided, so be it. Bring

the writing tools.

>> Mother Queen, do you think he can write

it?

>> Hardly. Well, will the moon shine bright

is a timeless masterpiece of the

festival. Even if he's a genius, today

to write something equally brilliant,

it's next to impossible.

>> Is he doomed? Then

>> the empress wants to make it hard for

him. I can openly side with him. Must

save face for the empress. I wanted to

give him more time, but he refused. He

didn't cherish the chance. He's dead.

Serves him right. He's just too young

and proud. Now it's all up to him.

He's dead meat.

>> Dare define me. This is your fate.

>> See, he can't do it. Anyone can brag. Is

poetry that easy?

Which one to write?

Got it.

Do you not see

>> this poem?

>> The yellow river from the sky flows to

the sea, never to return.

Don't you see?

The mirror grieavves white hair at dawn

like silk at dusk snow.

>> Bravo.

What a poem. So magnificent, so elegant.

Who knew this scoundrel could be so

talented?

Could it be he really can in such a

short time? Write another masterpiece.

Impossible.

>> When life is sweet, enjoy the moment.

Don't let the cup face the moon. Empty

heaven made me for a purpose. All the

gold spent will return.

>> BRAVO.

>> WELL, LIFE IS SWEET. ENJOY THE MOMENT.

LIFE IS BUT A FEW DECADES. LIVE IT TO

THE FULLEST. HEAVEN MADE ME FOR A

PURPOSE. ALL THE GOLD SPENT WILL RETURN.

WHAT? CONFIDENCE. WHAT A BROAD MIND.

>> I AM JUST A GUARD. BUT THIS poem really

speaks to me.

>> Such a prodigy is a unic. Yet despite

this he shows no despair or truly

admirable.

>> Come drink.

Don't stop.

>> Don't stop. Don't stop.

>> Steeds and furs. TRADE THEM FOR WINE TO

DROWN WITH YOU SORROWS.

BRAVO.

EDDIE, you did it.

What a poem.

>> Your Majesty.

>> No need for formalities. Today, Mr.

King's two poems have shown me what a

literary genius is, what a poetry master

is. Mr. King, you're brilliant.

>> Bring the line,

>> Mr. King.

>> Your Majesty.

>> Her majesty is so exalted. Yet, she's

offering a toast to a unic. Insane. The

world must be crazy.

>> Your majesty, you flatter me. I am not

worthy.

>> You deserve it.

What do you have to say now?

>> You're a genius. I admire you.

>> Didn't you just say his poems were

plagiarized?

>> Don't you owe him an apology now?

>> Apologize. A unic has no right to make

her majesty apologize to him.

>> How dare you? Who gave you the right to

speak?

>> I am guilty.

Empress, remember, every word indeed of

yours represents the nation's honor.

Don't let others say our royal family

are all bullying tyrants.

>> Yes, your majesty.

>> Mr. King, I apologize to you.

>> I hope you'll forgive me.

>> Her Majesty is so exalted, yet she's

apologizing to a unic. If word gets out

inside and outside the palace, they'll

surely praise her majesty for being so

approachable.

>> You,

>> your majesty, I am feeling unwell. I'll

take my leave. Leave us.

>> Thank you, your majesty, for standing up

for me.

>> No need for formalities. You are a

genius. You deserve my respect.

What calligraphy

did you write this?

Did you write this?

>> Yes. My humble work

indeed. Masterful. The brush work.

Powerful and bold. It cuts like a knife.

You know calligraphy too.

>> Just a little.

>> At first glance, comma da da da. It is

full of strength. Look closely. It is

round yet firm. Look at the composition.

Spacious yet tight. It is full of

courage and loyalty. Mother Queen,

you've seen so much calligraphy before.

Why the surprise?

>> You don't know much about calligraphy.

So you can't see its true beauty.

But I've practiced this art for 20 years

and learned from great masters.

Yet my usual calligraphy can't compare

to this.

This work not only blends the essence of

masters but also blazes its own path.

This isn't just calligraphy.

It is the way itself. The way of

calligraphy.

Your majesty flatters me. I am not

worthy.

>> Who knew your majesty has such deep

insight outside the palace? You'd be a

true literary genius.

>> To be honest, I have few hobbies, only

poetry and calligraphy. Captivate me,

especially calligraphy. I spend hours

practicing daily, but I lack the talent

to achieve mastery. It is an honor to

meet you, Mr. King. Would you be so kind

as to give me some pointers? Mother

Queen, the poetry gathering isn't over.

>> Gentlemen, please continue. I'll be with

Mr. King to discuss calligraphy.

>> Yes, your majesty.

>> As for you, Miranda, for introducing Mr.

King, such a talent. You've done a great

service. From today, you're restored as

Lady Fox. You may leave the cold palace.

>> Really? Thank you, your majesty.

>> Thank you, your majesty. You may all

leave. I wish to speak with Mr. King

alone.

What are you waiting for? Does mother

want to steal your little unic?

>> Is that it?

Then I shall take my leave.

The dowagger has gone too far. How dare

she make me apologize to a lowly unic.

One day I will repay this humiliation a

hundfold.

>> Your ladyship, the daager is exalted. If

word gets out, it could harm you.

>> What about Miranda's unic? Still no

leads.

>> He seems to have appeared out of

nowhere. We haven't found any records.

A while back, word came from the cold

palace that the Valor Scion became

Miranda's personal unic. Now, by her

side, suddenly appears a powerful,

mysterious unic.

>> Are you suspecting that Eddie is Edward

in disguise?

But Edward before entering the palace

was clearly a talentless playboy.

>> Now it seems the playboy act

might just be a ruse to survive.

>> Then

if that is the case, then Edward and

Miranda are guilty of treason. They must

die.

>> Go search every detail. Leave no trace

unexamined. Yes,

Miranda. Eddie,

don't let me find proof or else

even the gods can't save you.

>> Didn't you say using the Empire's

destiny would make me progress by leaps?

Why has my cultivation regressed lately?

Are you lying to me?

>> Royal destiny, easy to take, hard to

restore.

If you rule wisely, keep the destiny

strong. There might be a chance.

Unfortunately.

>> Unfortunately. What?

>> But you were too greedy. Gobbling up

most of the Empire's destiny.

Not only is it unsustainable,

your empire is on the verge of collapse.

>> Why didn't you tell me sooner?

>> You never asked.

>> HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME. I PROMISE YOU

FREEDOM ONCE IT IS DONE. DON'T PUSH ME

TO KILL YOU NOW.

>> Want to know the solution?

>> Speak.

Sacrifice all who share the destiny.

Offer them up.

After stealing their memories,

your master cultivation,

>> those with destiny,

>> your empress,

the concubines,

princesses,

even the daaturer queen. What did YOU

SAY? WOULDN'T I BECOME TRULY ALONE?

>> You of all people

care about that?

>> Starver for HALF A MONTH. NOT A DROP OF

WATER.

Your Majesty. Word from the Queen's

residence.

Edward is gone from the cold palace. By

Miranda's sight, there's a brilliant

Eddie. Interesting. Looks like the Valor

loyalists still have some tricks.

>> He's full of ambition.

I'll have him taken care of.

>> No need.

Just a unic. What trouble can he

possibly cause? Keep him. At least it'll

appease the Valor loyalists once say

they're dealt with. I'll reunite him

with his family.

>> Yes.

>> If I can reach the transcendent realm.

So what if the empire falls? I can

always rebuild an even greater empire.

Miranda Fox

was a lady.

She shares much of our destiny.

She is perfect for testing.

That is it. Your majesty.

>> You are a genius.

With just a few words, you pointed out

my flaws and opened my eyes.

>> Your majesty is brilliant. You learn

fast. With time, you will surely become

a true master.

>> You flatter me with your talent. Being a

unic in the cold palace is a waste. If

you are willing, I'd like to offer you a

position as my adviser.

>> Your kindness is appreciated. However,

I've grown used to the quiet life here.

Please forgive me.

>> She has so many experts. If something

goes wrong, I can't escape. Only in the

cold palace can I safely grow stronger.

>> Very well. Then I shall respect your

wishes.

>> Attendance, give Mr. King a thousand

house.

>> A small token of my appreciation. I hope

you'll accept it.

>> Thank you, your majesty. I'll take my

leave.

Mother Queen, you value him so much. Why

not issue an edict to bring him here? He

is a genius. Show some respect.

>> Mother, you value Edward too much.

>> Charlotte, I told you to find a husband.

It's been days. Have you found anyone?

>> Not yet.

>> Listen to me.

>> As a woman, you can't do without a man.

>> Who says I can't? You don't have a man

either. Even his majesty ascended the

throne under your protection. I want to

be like you.

>> It is because I've walked this path that

I know how painful it is.

If I could, I'd want someone to lean on

to be a little woman.

To be

a little woman.

Mother is the queen. Yet you want to be

a little woman.

>> Charlotte, if you really can't find

anyone suitable, I'll take care of it

and arrange one for you.

>> No need.

I'll handle it myself.

>> Don't stall. Your marriage can't wait.

>> Understood. I'll take my leave now.

Such talent. If only he weren't

a unic.

>> Congratulations, host. You charmed THE

DOWAGER. PLUS 800 destiny points. the

dowagger for me. Looks like I'll have to

visit the daer more, get more destiny

points in favor.

That way in this palace, I'll have more

ways to survive.

Edward,

you jerk.

Why aren't you back yet?

waiting for me.

>> You finally came back. I thought

>> thought what?

>> Thought I stayed with a daajger.

>> The daager is beautiful, powerful, and

influential. She also

>> really

>> values you.

It's normal to like her.

>> Makes sense. I am off that.

>> Don't go.

>> Since you're here

tonight,

let's play

something wild.

>> Something wild.

Congratulations

host intim made contact with Miranda

plus 500 destiny points.

>> Lucky draw.

>> Congratulations host. You got a grand

restoration pill. Grand restoration pill

grants 60 years of cultivation.

>> As expected, with one go, I've reached a

late stage young grandmaster. Now I can

easily kill any grandmaster.

>> What are you thinking, Edward?

>> I was thinking the daer is so young. How

could she have such a grown son?

>> What's so strange?

The Daager isn't Emperor James's

birthother.

>> Not his birth mother,

>> right? The Daajager entered the palace

at 13. Emperor James was only 8. After

the retired emperor died, the Daager

single-handedly stabilized the court,

put Emperor James on the throne, and

seized back power.

>> That's amazing,

>> right? Though the Daager isn't his birth

mother.

But Emperor James respects her deeply.

Even all the officials treat her with

difference.

>> No wonder Viven is usually so arrogant.

But in front of the Daager, she is as

meek as a cat.

>> Do you regret not staying with the

Daager?

>> Why would I regret it? The Daager is

kind, but you're the best.

>> You are impossible. Your ladyship,

Princess Charlotte is asking for her

king,

>> your highness, what is the meaning of

this?

>> Enough talk.

>> WAIT, PRINCESS, YOU ARE SERIOUS.

>> DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT your promise to

have a real DUEL WITH ME. DRAW YOUR

weapon or don't blame me for my blade.

>> Wait, I WHERE DO I GET A WEAPON?

>> Enough talk.

>> FINE THEN. DON'T BLAME ME FOR GOING ALL

OUT. SUPREME SWORD ARTS.

>> CHARLOTTE,

>> PRINCESS, are you all right?

>> You actually have young Grandmaster

strength. I underestimated you.

>> You flatter me.

You wret. How dare you hurt me?

I'll tell father and Edward.

I'll have your head.

>> HEY, ARE YOU EVEN REASONABLE? YOU

CHALLENGED ME TO A DUEL. NOW YOU'LL

TATTLE BECAUSE YOU LOST.

>> I LET YOU SPAR WITH ME,

not to hurt me. Oh, Charlotte, stop it.

If his majesty knew, he'd die. I won't

tell.

But you must do one thing.

>> What is it?

>> What is it? Be my husband. Marry me.

>> Marry you? No way. Why not? Didn't you

always want me to find a man?

>> I I told you to find a man.

>> But not my man.

>> Those men out there

are either useless or weaker than me. I

won't marry any of them,

but him.

>> His wit and skill

>> are all to my liking.

>> No way.

If you marry him, we can't be sisters

anymore.

>> Oh, I was kidding. Who'd steal your man?

>> Really?

Then what do you want? It is just mother

queen keeps forcing me to find a

husband. I am sick of it. Want Edward to

help me have a fake marriage so she

stops pestering.

>> Huh? Fake marriage.

>> No disguise, right? Just change your

look.

Come with me to mother at the scene.

Can't be hard. But what if it goes on

too long?

We'll cross that bridge later.

I won't marry a man who is beneath me.

your big secret.

I kept it for you.

My little favor. You won't help me.

Fine, let's all suffer then.

>> Should we help him?

Fine

>> then.

Come meet Mother Queen with me

>> now.

>> Yes. No time to waste now.

>> No, my clothes.

>> Simon Green, Peter Shaw, Victor Gordon,

your highness,

>> Charlotte. These three are capital

city's finest young talents and they're

around your age. Mother Queen, I came to

tell you

I found the one I love.

>> Edward King, your majesty.

>> He is quite handsome.

>> King. All the capital clans, we know

them all. Can't recall any with the name

king.

>> No, there was one for treason. His

majesty executed them all. The House of

Valor. Weren't they the kings?

>> Could it be you're a Valor survivor?

>> Nonsense. Edward isn't from the capital.

And he can't possibly be a Valor family

remnant.

>> Not from the capital.

Could he be some Marshall prodigy? All

the major sex and their prodigies are my

personal friends.

But this Edward King, I've never even

heard of his name.

>> I am no sect of disciple, just a

wandering swordsman. You haven't heard

of me. That is only natural.

>> Wandering swordsman? I think it's more

like you're just a country bumpkin.

>> Charlotte, this Edward King, did you

just find some random guy to fool me?

>> I dare not. Edward may not be from a

noble clan or a great house, but he is

truly gifted. You know, I've trained

since childhood, innate master at 18,

unrivaled among my peers. I've sworn

since childhood, only a man stronger

than me is worthy of my hand.

>> Are you saying Edward's martial arts are

better than yours? Indeed,

he's a prodigy. No master taught him.

Yet his skill truly impresses me. Far

better than those who claim noble birth

yet. Can't even beat me.

>> He, your highness, I refuse to accept

this. I challenge him to a duel. Your

majesty. Grant it.

>> Well said, Peter. I want a piece of him,

too.

>> I trained under a master in the capital.

Those who can beat me are few and far

between.

>> You country bumpkin. What makes you

think you can beat me?

>> What do you think, Mr. King?

>> Princess Charlotte. Only the strong

deserve to marry her. I believe this is

the simplest way.

>> Very well.

Let's have a spar. But remember, pull

your punches.

>> I'll go first.

Go easy on him, Peter.

Let us have a chance to stretch our

muscles.

>> Exactly. You country bumpkin. How dare

you cover the princess. You are nothing

but a toad trying to eat swan meat.

>> Don't worry. I'll go easy on him. Then

you can have your turn.

>> That is the Shaw family. Tiger fury

fist. This kid is done for. How is that

possible? Not a scratch on him.

Damn it. This bumpkin really has some

skill.

Simon Victor, he's all yours.

>> Your Majesty Edward King is truly a

dragon among men. His power is

incredible. He's perfect for the

princess. I wholeheartedly approve.

>> Exactly. As I said, Edward and Charlotte

are a match made in PETER SHAW. REALLY?

YOU HAD TO GET ROUGH IN FRONT OF HER

MAJESTY. IT MAKES US ALL LOOK LIKE

BARBARIANS.

>> EXACTLY. Simon Victor his friends.

>> Exactly.

>> Sure.

>> Charlotte, is Edward really the one you

love? Do you know once the marriage is

set, there's no turning back?

Please grant us the marriage. Very well.

Pick an auspicious date and finalize the

marriage.

Thank you, mother. Edward,

take care of Charlotte.

If I hear you mistreat her, I won't

spare you.

>> Rest assured, I shall treat Charlotte

well. Not a moment's neglect.

>> How odd. It is just an act. Yet, when he

said that, my heart skipped a beat, and

I couldn't help but smile.

>> Could it be? I really have feelings for

him. Impossible.

>> Congratulations, host destiny

acquisition system. Congratulations.

Charlotte Winter W has developed

feelings for you. Acquire Charlotte

Winter Destiny points. Develop feelings

plus 500 plus 500 destiny points.

>> She wouldn't be falling for me, right?

>> Perfect.

Over the next two days, I am going out

of town. You two come with me?

>> Yes.

>> Oh, go to the cold palace. Tell Mr.

King, come with us.

I'll discuss poetry with Mr. King. Yes.

Mr. King.

Mr. King.

>> Oh no. What do I do? I can't be in two

places.

>> What's wrong?

>> Oh, I just remembered. I am practicing a

technique.

Need Edward to assist me.

So we won't be going.

>> Exactly.

Next time. Promise.

>> Is it dangerous?

>> Not dangerous.

Just needs full focus. Can't be

disturbed.

>> Yes.

>> Very well then. Focus on your training.

Edward. Stay and assist Charlotte

princess.

>> Yes.

The tower queen

only brings a few guards.

>> Mr. King, are you wondering

why I travel in disguise?

>> Indeed.

>> First, it is just a simple outing. I

don't wish to disturb the people.

Second, I don't want to ruin the fun.

>> Your compassion is a blessing.

But still bring some guards. In case of

trouble, you can handle it,

>> Mr. King. No need to worry. My King

Sonia is at peace.

People are happy. What you fear won't

happen.

>> What's going on?

>> Oh, ma'am. Refugees. So many refugees.

>> How could this be?

Don't push.

What are you doing?

What is this?

>> PLEASE, SOME FOOD. SOME FOOD, PLEASE. 3

DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.

>> We're so close to the capital. Why are

there so many refugees?

Why don't we take some of my silver?

Wait. If we give them silver directly,

we might not help them but harm them.

>> What do you mean?

>> Instead, we'll buy grain

to feed them.

>> You're absolutely right. Let's do as you

say.

>> All right.

PLEASE CALM DOWN. THERE IS ENOUGH FOR

EVERYONE. LINE UP. Are you hungry,

little one? Here is a big bowl for you.

>> Okay, take it.

>> Thank you both. You're our saviors.

Child, kneel and thank them.

>> Please rise.

Thank you, brother and sister. You are

good people. May you be together

forever.

>> We're not. Thank you.

You have a ball here.

>> Thank you, Ginsul.

Thank you, Gen Soul.

If only he weren't a unic. That would be

perfect.

What am I thinking? There is no way

between us.

>> Congratulations, host queen.

Congratulations, host. Congratulations,

host. She is worse. Host queen smith

plus 1000 destiny points. Plus 1000

destiny points.

Take it.

>> Thank you. Canelo.

>> Your ladyship.

We found it.

>> Speak.

>> These refugees are all from the south.

Now in Cloud City, there are over

700,000 refugees.

>> What? 700,000?

That is impossible.

>> Indeed. And the number is only growing.

Now Kingstonia is torn by rebellion.

Especially Southern Lotus Order is the

strongest. Moreover, the court has

completely lost control over them.

>> How could this be? It has only been a

decade. My King Stonia has fallen so

far.

>> You knew nothing about this.

>> Since his majesty came of age, I've

stayed out of politics.

How could this happen in a decade?

So it is you blind idiots giving up

horridge.

>> So what if we are?

>> The Wood family has decreed no one in

Cloud City may undercut grain prices.

But you dare give out free porridge.

>> I wondered why the streets are full of

refugees.

So you're behind this.

>> Refugees. They're nothing.

Even if they starve in time, we'll hike

prices 10fold and they'll still buy.

>> How dare you? In this crisis, not only

do you not help, you even dare profit

from it. It is beyond comprehension. Are

you not afraid of the court?

>> The court?

>> Empress Viviian is my cousin. All the

officials can't touch me.

>> The empress. You mean Vivian Southgate?

>> How dare you? SPEAK THE NAME OF HER

MAJESTY.

>> HEY, pretty lady. You are absolutely

stunning.

>> HOW DARE YOU? DO YOU KNOW WHO OUR LADY

IS? HOW DARE YOU BE SO RUDE?

>> I don't care who you are.

In Cloud City, the woods call the shots.

Get them. Kill the man. As for the

woman, strip her and take her to my

room.

>> Yes.

>> How dare you? I am the daer queen.

>> You're the daer.

>> And I am the retired emperor. What are

you waiting for? Take them down.

>> How could this be?

>> Mr. King, you know martial arts.

Your Majesty, I forgot to mention

besides poetry, I know a little martial

arts.

>> JUST YOU WAIT. STOP HIM.

Go to hell.

Still thinking about today,

>> Mr. King. I sincerely apologize. I

wanted to take you out for a nice

stroll, but I never imagined we'd face

mortal danger.

>> Your majesty, don't blame yourself. It

is not your fault.

Cloud City is so close to the capital.

Yet, it is in such peril, one can only

imagine how precarious King Stonia is.

I must return to the capital and report

this to his majesty.

>> Very well.

>> Just the woods daring to abuse the

Empress's name right under the capital

tyrannizing the people. It truly breaks

my heart.

Has your majesty

never considered? Cloud City is

just miles away and his majesty is

unaware.

>> Mr. King, you mean the current situation

has his majesty's approval?

Impossible. I raised his majesty from a

young age. It is impossible.

There must be villains by his side. Once

I speak to his majesty, I'll set things

right.

>> Alas, your majesty.

You really don't know your son.

>> The Lotus ARMY IS HERE. YOU LONELY

INSECTS. BOW DOWN AND SUBMIT.

>> The order?

>> Could it be the Lotus Order? Your

Majesty, stay inside. I'll check it out.

>> Mr. King, be careful.

Stay back.

Stop it.

HELP. SOMEBODY HELP. LET ME GO.

>> Where did this brat COME FROM? HOW DARE

YOU MEDDLE WITH THE ORDER?

>> A grandmaster.

>> Now you know I am.

A grandmaster, kneel and surrender now.

Perhaps I'll show you mercy AND LET YOU

JOIN US.

>> Rape and pillage, you do all evil. How

dare you call THIS JUSTICE.

>> HOW DARE YOU? YOU ARE COURTING DEATH.

How can you be this strong?

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LISTEN UP IF YOU

DARE.

>> Bring it on.

The Lotus Order doesn't seem to be any

good.

>> How dare you defy me. Aren't you afraid

OF EXECUTION?

>> DON'T RESIST, BEAUTY.

[bell]

>> Screaming won't help.

Are you all right?

>> I thought

that villain would kill me.

>> Don't be afraid. I am here.

>> His embrace is so warm.

>> Mr. Keen,

I entered court at 13, experiencing the

political intrigue and power struggles

all these years.

I've never felt cared for or protected.

>> Come to think of it, you were a puppet,

too.

>> In that moment, I thought a lot

if I died right then.

I'd have regrets.

>> Regrets?

>> Mr. King, I don't care how you see me

now. I want to be reckless. Reckless.

You're not a unic.

[sighs] It's not too late to stop.

Never.

Sweetheart,

my queen

system.

>> Congratulations, host conquered Queen

Matilda, became Emperor James's father,

gained 2,000 destiny points.

>> Lucky draw.

>> Congratulations, host obtained the

supreme sword. Congratulations, host

gained a sentry of pure cultivation.

In just a month, from a commoner, I've

reached a realm others spend a lifetime

trying to attain. Now, even against a

grandmaster, I can kill them easily.

Unexpectedly,

the daagger was a virgin. Makes sense.

When she entered the palace, the retired

emperor was 70 or 80 and terminally ill.

Who?

Still running. No way out.

Diana Somerfield.

>> I heard Warlord of Law was killed.

Thought Kingstonia had a master. Never

thought it was you.

>> You are with the Lotus Order. To be

precise, I am the Lotus Order priestess.

>> Priestess?

So, the raping and pillaging? You

approved it?

>> Not exactly, though. I'm the priestess.

There are three warlords. They act

independently. And there's the Grand

Sage with more authority than me.

>> Where are they now?

>> Outside the city.

What are you up to?

If I help you unite the order,

>> can you control your followers to become

a true rebellion?

>> You can unite the order.

>> Cloud City is weekly defended. 3 days at

most and we'll march right in. Then all

that will be left is the capital city.

Three days.

Warlord of law has already opened the

way. One day at most, we'll take Cloud

City. Then we march on the capital.

Golden beauties. All will be ours.

>> Cloud City is full of drunks. The

capital is different

with this bunch of rabble. We can't take

it.

>> Mr. King,

>> what do you mean calling us rabble?

>> Exactly.

Was I not clear enough? The priestess

strictly ordered no harming the people.

But you just arrived kidnapped innocent

women with such discipline. What can you

achieve?

>> Well said,

>> priestess.

>> I don't know where you kidnapped these

women.

>> But I want you to return them. SEND THEM

BACK. PRIESTESS, HOW IS THIS STEALING?

OUR REBELLION IS TO OVERTHROW TYRANNY

AND BRING PEACE TO THE LAND. NOW THE

PEOPLE OFFER US REWARDS. IS THAT NOT

REASONABLE?

>> IT'S ABSURD. What you're doing is no

different from King Stonia's corrupt

officials.

If that's the case, what's the point of

winning?

>> Priestess, you're wrong.

>> Our brothers risked their lives fighting

WITH US. WE'RE ABOUT TO WIN. Can't we

enjoy ourselves?

>> When we win the land, I'll reward you

accordingly.

But these women, as I said, send them

back now.

>> Calling you priestess. You really think

you're someone? The Grand Sage said

nothing. Yet you're here yapping. I

don't care. What can you do to me?

>> Just as I thought. You are all beneath

me.

>> Who?

Where's this brat from? How dare you?

Metal here.

>> This is Edward King. He is my newly

appointed adviser.

>> Huh?

Adviser? A snot-nosed little brat? How

can you be adviser?

>> Your highness? Is that you,

>> Uncle Richard?

It is me,

your highness.

Richard King, at your service.

>> Richard King, Duke of Valor's confidant.

After the house fell, he vanished. Who

would have thought he'd join the Lotus

Order?

>> Uncle Richard, no need. I am no longer

the heir.

>> Edward, you know, Warlord of the Way.

>> It is a long story. Let's focus on the

matter at hand. Sure.

>> Your highness

since fate has reunited us. I'll risk my

life

to go through fire and water to restore

your legacy.

What air? What are you blabbering about?

>> Brat, whoever you are in the Lotus

Order, you'd better behave or don't

blame us for disrespecting the

priestess.

>> The order's three warlords.

Two of them are the likes of you. What a

joke.

>> BRAT, WHAT DID YOU SAY?

>> DON'T THINK BY clinging to the priestess

you can become a phoenix

to lorded over the order.

You're not worthy.

>> Your highness, beware.

Though they are vile, they are still

grand masters.

>> You're nothing to me.

>> YOU BRINGING DEATH.

We're all grand masters. Yet we COULDN'T

WITHSTAND HIS MERE GAZE. JUST a glance

felt like a THOUSAND SWORDS.

WHO ARE YOU?

>> At such a young age, his highness has

such power.

Oh, Duke, if you knew, you'd rest in

peace.

>> Dead men need no answers.

>> Arrogant brat.

LET ME HANDLE HIM.

GREAT. THE GRAND SAGE IS HERE. THE GRAND

SAGE IS A GRANDMASTER. HE'LL CRUSH THAT

BRAT.

YOU LITTLE BRAT DARE COME HERE INSOLID.

How many lives do you have?

The Grand SAGE IS DEAD.

>> HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? THE GRAND SAGE IS

A GRANDMASTER. HOW COULD HE NOT SURVIVE

ONE STRIKE?

PRIESTESS, WHAT KIND OF MONSTER DID YOU

BRING?

One strike TO KILL A GRANDMASTER. DUKE,

DID you see? Rest in peace.

It hasn't been long, yet his power is

already so terrifying. Calling him a

prodigy is no exaggeration.

>> The Supreme Sword is worthy of its name.

With my swordsmanship, grand masters are

but dogs.

Now it is YOUR TURN. I

>> I AM SORRY, [screaming] HARROW. I WAS

WRONG. I WON'T DARE AGAIN.

PLEASE SPARE US. Be careful. Next life

from today.

Edward King is the new leader of the

Lotus Order.

Disrespect him AND DIE.

>> HAIL THE LEADER.

We pledge TO SERVE THROUGH FIRE AND

WATER. EVEN UNTO DEATH,

>> UNCLE RICHARD, to topple Kingstonia, the

Lotus Order alone

isn't enough.

>> Rest assured, in the army, many still

remain loyal to the Duke. If I call them

in your name, they will surely help you

succeed.

>> Perfect.

>> Destiny acquisition system.

Congratulations. You've uniteed the

order. Congratulations. United the

order. Shaken the Kingstonian Empire.

Shaken. 5,000. Destiny points awarded.

>> 5,000. Hell yeah. Draw.

>> Destiny. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on the golden silk

armor. We wore earthly immortals aside.

No one can harm you.

>> Golden silk armor. A lifesaver

with this. As long as immortals stay

out, no one can hurt me. As for the

tracking charms, they could be quite

useful.

>> Your majesty,

heir of valor, Edward King, greets her

majesty.

>> What did you say?

Edward King greets your majesty.

>> What did you say?

>> Surprised?

>> When the valor case broke,

I begged his majesty.

He finally agreed to spare the Veilers

one bloodline. Could that person be you?

But how did you end up in the palace?

His majesty's decree

made me a unic.

>> How could that be? His majesty promised

me.

>> Your knowledge of his majesty

is stuck in the past. People change.

>> Then

how are you still a man?

>> I have my ways.

>> When I pleaded for the Veilers, never

did I think I'd be trapped in this.

Is this my retribution?

>> What?

Regret it?

>> I just haven't figured out how to handle

our relationship.

>> Then don't think.

Go with the flow.

>> What matters now is to tell his majesty

about the refugees. We must go at once.

>> Don't rush.

One more time.

Cultivation is slowing down.

Looks like I'll have to sacrifice some

lives.

>> Your Majesty, the Daager Queen is here.

>> What does she want?

>> Tell her I am unwell. No audience.

>> The Daager says it is urgent and must

speak with your majesty.

Understood. Make her wait outside.

>> Yes.

>> Your Majesty, you are finally back.

>> Mother Quang, what is the rush?

>> Outside the capital. Hundreds of

thousands of refugees are crying out.

The situation with the court is dire.

>> You rushed to see me for a bunch of

refugees.

You summoned me for a bunch of refugees.

>> For a bunch of refugees.

These hundreds of thousands are

Kingstonian subjects. Does his majesty

think they don't matter?

>> Mother, you are mistaken. They're just

refugees. The ministers will handle it.

Relief efforts will be organized. No

need to trouble you.

>> The refugees are just the symptom.

Corrupt officials run the court. Greedy

bureaucrats run a muck. If this

continues, King Stonia is in peril.

>> Mother, you are being too alarmist.

>> Your Majesty

Shaun wood of Cloud City relies on the

Empress to run a muk. He even dared

attack me. Have you considered how the

people can possibly survive?

>> Is that so? Rest assured, I'll get to

the bottom of this and avenge you. I

know what I am doing.

You need not interfere,

>> your majesty. My life is trivial.

But the court, if left unchecked,

King Stonia is doomed.

>> Enough. I am the emperor. King Stonia.

>> Edward left with the Daager so many days

ago.

Why hasn't he returned? Is he not coming

back? The palace is so dangerous. Maybe

it is better. Really?

>> You

You are back.

>> Really?

>> You

You're back.

>> Originally, I really wanted to take this

chance to leave the palace.

>> Then

why did you come back?

>> Because there is someone I can't leave

behind.

>> But the palace is so dangerous. Why

won't you leave?

If his majesty finds out about us, it's

a capital crime.

>> I won't let a woman face danger alone in

this palace.

>> I am his majesty's concubine. If I want

to leave this inner palace, dot dot dot

dot dot, it is harder than climbing to

heaven.

>> I will remove every obstacle dot dot dot

dot dot in my path.

What do you mean?

>> Back then, the Duke of Valor was all

powerful. Yet, with just one word from

Emperor James, he was branded a traitor.

As long as Emperor James sits on that

throne, my life is in his hands.

>> Are you planning a coup?

>> Yes.

>> All right, I am with you. [music]

Have you thought it through? If we fail,

we'll both die.

>> I only know. I am your woman. As long as

you don't abandon me, I'll go wherever

you go.

>> You don't have to do anything. Just wait

here. Leave everything to me.

>> The Lotus Order army is marching toward

the capital city, waiting for the moment

to strike together and destroy all of

Kingstonia.

Oh, right. I heard his majesty hasn't

been to court. He has been in the

forbidden area.

>> Forbidden area? What is that place?

>> A very mysterious place.

Only his majesty can enter.

They say the Daajager tried to enter,

but the guards stopped her.

>> Even the Daajer can't enter. Looks like

Emperor James has many secrets. But no

matter the plot, in the face of absolute

power, it is all meaningless.

My power has already surpassed a

grandmaster. If I get even stronger,

whatever Emperor James plans, it won't

matter.

>> It is a shame

I can't help you.

number. You can help me cultivate.

>> Cultivate.

>> These days without you here, it's been

so boring. Not even someone to talk to.

>> Didn't the princess come?

>> Northern Front is critical. Arthur was

ordered to war. He hasn't been here in

ages.

>> Dryen to the north.

>> Dryen has always been our rival.

Not sure what's going on. They keep

raiding even in this cold palace. I've

heard the news.

>> The death bell. Something terrible

happened.

>> Report. Front line routed. Cab breached.

400,000 COMPLETELY WIPED OUT.

>> REPORT.

>> YOUR MAJESTY. FRONT LINE ROOTED. ALL

GENERALS DEAD. ROYAL GUARD COMMANDER

KILLED. PRINCESS MISSING. FATE UNKNOWN.

HOW HOW COULD THIS BE? It is an army of

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. JUST LIKE THAT.

>> USELESS. ALL OF YOU.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ROUTED IN A SINGLE

NIGHT. WHAT USE ARE YOU TO ME? USELESS.

HER

>> MAJESTY the Dowager Queen.

>> Your Majesty, the front line is lost.

Charlotte is missing. Is this true?

Your Majesty, I heard we lost the

battle. Charlotte is missing. Is this

true?

>> Well informed, mother. Indeed, the front

has fallen.

>> How could this possibly happen? What

happened to Charlotte? Tell me, is there

any solid news?

>> I am still investigating the details.

>> Your Majesty, our priority is to rescue

Charlotte at once. She is a defenseless

woman. If she falls into enemy hands,

the consequences are unthinkable.

>> Enough, mother. I said still

investigating. ONCE WE KNOW, I'LL SEND

SOMEONE TO INFORM YOU.

>> But

>> escort the Daager back to her palace.

>> Yes.

>> You,

your majesty, go. I can walk myself.

>> Your Majesty, shall we dispatch royal

guard elites to the front lines to

search for the princess regent? To the

front? AT SUCH A CRITICAL TIME. EVERY

MASTER IS VITAL. EVEN SO, THE FRONT

STILL COLLAPSED, SENDING MASTERS TO DIE.

>> THEN WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

>> Send the order. Retreat our lines. Hold

off the enemy at all costs.

In that case, the princess regent is in

grave danger. How can we face the daer?

>> A princess our destiny. Which matters

more? Mother will understand.

What did you say? His majesty won't save

Charlotte.

>> Yes, the kitchen. Unuk said so. His

majesty decreed it. The news is

spreading.

>> What should we do if his majesty won't

save Charlotte? She's as good as dead.

>> He won't even save his own sister.

>> Charlotte isn't his majesty's sister.

Not the Daager's daughter.

By a twist of fate, she saved the

daager. So the daager adopted her.

>> I see. No wonder he is so cold.

>> What should we do?

>> Charlotte and I are like sisters. If she

falls into enemy hands, the consequences

are unthinkable.

>> Your ladyship,

her majesty's order, please have Sir

King come to the queen's residence.

>> Understood. You may leave.

Why is the dowager summoning you?

>> Probably about Charlotte's case.

>> Stay here. Don't worry. I'll check it

out.

>> Your Majesty, Sir King is here.

>> You may leave.

>> Yes.

>> Your Majesty, what is this about?

Edward

Matilda, what is going on

>> these days? I've been so worried.

Charlotte is not my blood, but she is

like a daughter to me.

I've heard about this.

>> You're my man. Charlotte is my daughter.

So, you're also

her stepfather, right?

>> You want me to save her?

>> I know this is too much to ask.

The north is perilous.

But even if I could just know whether

Charlotte is alive.

>> It up.

>> Matilda, what are you doing?

>> If you promise to find Charlotte for me,

>> I'll make it worth your while.

>> After I save her, you can repay me then.

>> Edward, you'll do it.

You are my woman. Who else would I help?

>> You're the best.

>> The world is fast. Finding a missing

Charlotte will be like finding a needle

in a hay stack. But with the systems

tracking charm, it's a different story.

Found her.

I'VE HEARD OF KING SONIA'S PRINCESS

REGENT. PEERLESS IN BEAUTY AND POWER.

SHE LIVES UP TO THE FAME.

Your highness is a swordmaster. I wonder

what you are like between the sheets.

She's taken my ecstasy powder. Even a

cold princess will become a [ __ ] and do

our bidding.

I've had my share of women, but a

princess. THIS IS A FIRST. PRINCESS,

STOP STRUGGLING. JUST COOPERATE WITH US

AND ENJOY IT. What the crap? TAKE HER

DOWN. FORCE HER TO USE CHI. The faster

she uses it, the faster it works.

Take her down.

>> I'd rather die than let the likes of you

win.

>> I'd rather die than let you succeed. I

won't let you succeed.

Get her.

>> Come on.

Help.

Let go of me.

Finally found you.

>> Looks like I am not too late.

>> Where is this RAT FROM? WANT A PIECE OF

HER? GET LOST AND WAIT YOUR TURN. GOT

IT. I AM TALKING TO YOU. DON'T WASTE

TIME. KILL HIM.

>> PRINCESS, are you all right?

>> I am burning up.

>> Did they drug you?

[laughter] What is wrong?

Congratulations, host Princess Charlotte

Windsor conquered

>> plus 2,000 destiny points.

>> 2,000.

>> I saved your life. How can you be so

ungrateful? You scoundrel taking

advantage.

How dare you do such a thing? I'll kill

you.

Let go of me.

>> Now you're all threats. But you didn't

say that before.

>> You're shameless.

>> Don't worry.

I'll take responsibility.

>> Who needs you two?

>> Really? Fine then. Let's just pretend

nothing ever happened between us. How

dare you?

>> That's more like it.

>> Let's head back now.

The Dowardger is worried.

>> Mother Queen.

Charlotte, you are back. I thought I'd

never see you again.

>> It was a close call. Luckily, Edward

arrived in time. Edward, thank you.

Edward,

I don't know how to thank you.

>> No need. No need.

Her highness has already thanked me.

>> You did? How did you thank him?

>> Just a simple thanks.

>> Just a simple thanks.

Mr. King's kindness. Can a bee simply

thanked? He ventured alone to rescue

you.

Then you go prepare a feast to thank

Edward.

Was it very dangerous?

>> Not really. For me, it is not dangerous.

>> Don't lie to me.

His majesty recalled all the troops. It

must be dangerous.

>> I promised I'd bring her back to you. No

matter the danger, I'll keep my word.

>> It is good to have you.

>> Before you left, we agreed. When you

return, I'd reward you.

Then why wait?

Almost forgot to ask mother if we should

invite his majesty. My marriage to

Edward needs his majesty as a witness.

body.

You are so bad.

That sound.

No, that can't be. Mother is pure. How

could she do this?

>> Mother and Edward. Disgusting. No way.

You What are you doing?

>> Practicing calligraphy. Stop to admire

>> the Maple Woods.

>> Enough. No need to explain.

>> Oh, the queen. I know you've suffered

alone.

I don't blame you,

Charlotte. But I hope this is the last

time because you can't marry Edward.

Only I and his lawfully wedded wife.

>> You didn't you get engaged to Edward

King?

>> Oh, I forgot to tell you.

I am Edward King.

>> What did you say?

>> No wonder.

However, the man I want

can't be taken.

No one can take him.

>> You're the daager. You two can never be

together.

>> I don't mind not being the daager.

Edward, wherever I want to go. You'll

take me there, won't you?

>> Me or mother queen. Choose me. Choose

me.

Choose me. Choose me.

>> How about this? You two work it out. I

am off to practice calligraphy.

>> System draw.

>> Congratulations, host. You've won 100

years of double power.

>> 200 years of power lets me leap straight

into the Grandmaster realm with my

current power across the land.

Few are my match. It is time to

thoroughly explore the palace to see

what Emperor James has up his sleeve.

This is it. The Kingstonian forbidden

grounds. I'll see for myself what

secrets lie within.

In the forbidden grounds, there is a

hidden woman. Could this be Emperor

James's greatest secret?

>> Who?

Sorry, I wandered in by mistake. I

didn't mean to peek.

>> Straight in, inside, and out. It is

guarded by centuries. How did you get

in?

>> I have my ways, but you're a woman. How

did you get into Emperor James's

forbidden place? Who are you?

>> Hi, I am Emperor James's royal sage.

>> Royal sage? Never heard of it. There is

a sage.

That dog emperor tricked me for my

technique.

Sneak attacked me.

Sealed my power.

He did this dirty deed, so he dare not

let anyone know.

>> Technique? What technique?

>> Why should I tell you?

>> Well, your Danten injury. I am afraid

you haven't practiced for years.

>> Why do you care?

>> I can heal it.

>> You can heal it? What arrogance? My

injury is longstanding.

My dantion is dead. Even a celestial

being cold do nothing. A little unic.

How can you heal me?

What? What pill is this?

I just smelled a whiff of it and my

Dantion feels alive again.

>> Believe me now.

You are really willing to use this

elixir to save me.

>> If you tell me everything about Emperor

James' technique, this elixir of renewal

is yours.

>> I still have two elixirs of renewal. If

I can get info on James' technique,

knowing the enemy, it's a fair trade.

>> You have a grudge against him, too.

>> Yes.

>> Fine. I'll tell you.

The dog emperor stole my technique, the

imperial sut trap. It draws on the

capital's destiny to cultivate.

>> Using royal destiny, he is the emperor

himself. His cultivation must be

soaring.

>> If I'm not wrong, he's already reached

earthly immortal realm and is now

pursuing the transcendent realm.

With my current strength, if Emperor

James is an earthly immortal, what

chance do I have? But if he reaches

transcendent realm, he'll be unbeatable.

>> How close is he to breaking through?

>> If he plays it safe, ruling the empire,

reaching that realm is just a matter of

time. But he's impatient. Plus, there's

a mysterious force stealing his destiny.

He wants to take that step, but it won't

be easy.

>> No wonder the Lotus Order took so much

of Kingstonia.

So, King Stonia's destiny was sucked dry

by the dog emperor.

As for the force stealing his destiny,

could it be me?

But if he's ruthless enough to sacrifice

those with royal destiny and kill them

all,

he might still have a chance.

>> Those with royal destiny.

Are they the royal family?

>> Of course.

his empress, his children, the higher

the status, the stronger the royal aura

they possess.

>> Given his character, if it comes to

that, he'll show no mercy. Sacrifice

everyone. No, no. I must act before that

to topple the Empire. Here's the pill. I

got to go. See you.

>> With this pill, I'll soon regain my

power. Dark Emperor,

let's settle all our scores.

ALL HAIL THE GRAND SAGE. RISE,

>> your highness, as you commanded, I've

gathered all the old Valor troops back

together. At your command, we can storm

the capital.

>> The Lotus Orders army stands ready,

awaiting your command.

>> Excellent.

Emperor James persecutes the loyal, is

cruel by nature, and has plunged all

people into hell. Today we shall act for

heaven and SLAY THE TYRANT.

>> ACT FOR HEAVEN. SLAY THE TYRANT. ACT FOR

HEAVEN. SLAY THE TYRANT.

>> REPORT.

Grand sage. Word from the palace. The

tyrant has taken Lady Fox to the

execution ground to be sacrificed to

heaven.

>> What did you say? EVERYONE FOLLOW ME

NOW. Storm the palace.

>> Yes.

Your Majesty, why must you kill Miranda

Fox?

>> I read the stars and saw Mars in the

heart. A witch is corrupting our fate,

causing Kingstonia to be in ruins. That

witch is Miranda Fox.

>> Astrology is but a fantasy.

How can you take a life over this?

Your majesty is mistaken. Miranda Fox is

a traitor's daughter. Her father,

Chancellor Fox, betrayed us. His entire

clan was executed. That she corrupts our

destiny is no mere slander.

>> Nonsense. The Fox case is full of

doubts. Using this to convict Miranda is

absurd.

>> Princess Regent, I know you're close to

Miranda, but the charges were set by his

majesty. Are you questioning his

majesty?

>> That's not what I meant. It's a matter

of life.

>> Please, James,

>> think it over.

>> No need. I've already made it clear.

Execute now.

>> Stop.

Charlotte Windsor,

HOW DARE YOU STOP THE EXECUTION.

>> YOUR MAJESTY, Miranda and I have been

like sisters. Please, your majesty, for

my sake, spare Miranda's life

>> for saving mother's life. I'll overlook

your transgression.

GET OUT OF MY SIGHT.

>> PLEASE, your majesty, spare Miranda's

life. Fine. Do you really think I dare

not kill you?

>> Charlotte.

>> Charlotte Windsor. How dare you defy me?

Guards, take Charlotte and Miranda and

behead them both. Make an example.

>> Your Majesty, Charlotte saved my life.

She's like a daughter to me, and she is

your sister.

>> I gave her a chance. She didn't cherish

it. If everyone acts like her, where is

my authority? MOTHER, DON'T STAND IN MY

WAY OR I'LL SHOW NO MERCY.

>> Your Majesty,

but you kill me, too.

>> No one can STOP ME FROM DOING WHAT I

WANT. NOT EVEN YOU.

>> YOUR MAJESTY. I raised you for over a

decade. How could you become like this?

Fine. If you dare, kill me, too.

>> You're forcing my hand.

What a heartless tyrant. Tyrant? Did you

ask me before killing Matilda?

>> Who?

>> Edward.

It is you. A lonely little unic. Dare

stand before his majesty.

How dare you?

>> Those I SENTENCED TO DEATH. NO ONE CAN

SAVE, ESPECIALLY A LONELY UNIC LIKE YOU.

>> Stop calling me a unic.

Technically,

you should call me daddy.

>> HOW DARE YOU? WHAT DID YOU SAY?

>> SORRY, I am late. You okay?

You

You've BEEN WITH THAT LOWLY UNIC,

MY DOWARD QUEEN, MY PRINCESS,

MY MY LADY FOX.

ALL OF YOU BETRAYED ME.

YOU [ __ ] I'LL KILL YOU ALL. I'LL

SLAUGHTER YOU.

TWO QUICK SWORD STRIKES.

IMPOSSIBLE. I've reached the earthly

immortal realm. How could you possibly

beat me?

>> Emperor James. Wicked Empress. You

framed the loyal, murdered the innocent.

Today is your judgment day.

>> Edward, it wasn't me. It was him. You

and I have no grudge. He made me target

you. Kill him instead. Spare me.

>> YOU WRET. HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME.

>> IT IS TRUE. You said to humiliate the

valor lineage, so you made Edward a unic

in the cold palace.

Spare me. Look at me. I am just as good.

I can be your woman, too.

Spare me.

>> I CAN'T STAND IT.

RICH, THIS IS THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL.

You're traitors.

>> You will pay for this.

>> Edward, are you okay?

>> The transcendent power is truly

fearsome. Without the golden SILK ARMOR.

NO. WITHOUT YOU ALL, I'D BE DONE FOR.

>> ALL OF YOU GO TO HELL.

>> It is you. [clears throat]

>> Are you all right? You okay?

>> Didn't you say you had to kill all the

royals to break through? Why did killing

JUST THE EMPRESS LET YOU BREAK THROUGH?

>> HE used forbidden arts to break through,

but after some time, his power will

collapse. I'll kill all of you TRAITORS

AND TAKE YOUR destiny

to make my power unshakable.

>> GO AHEAD. LEAVE ME BEHIND.

>> We leave together. I said I follow you

anywhere. I won't allow you to die WITH

OTHER WOMEN.

>> YOU ADULTERERS.

NONE OF YOU ESCAPES.

>> CONGRATULATIONS. Emperor James is

deserted. Kingstonian destiny hits rock

bottom plus 10,000 destiny points. Start

the ultimate draw.

>> Yes.

>> Congratulations. You've gained 1,000

years of power.

He actually broke through.

Die.

How could I lose?

>> We won.

>> Are you all right? Are you badly hurt?

How did he end up in such a terrible

state?

>> He brought this entirely on himself. It

is not your fault. Don't overthink it.

None of you. Your Highness.

Your Highness. The palace is now fully

secured.

>> All the centers have been eliminated.

>> Well done.

>> Trident knows of our civil war. They're

sending troops. We must stabilize the

situation.

>> With the crisis over, we're leaderless.

We need someone who can take charge and

stabilize things.

>> Of course, it has to be his highness.

I agree. Only Edward can unite us.

>> Very well. [music]

>> I accept.

>> Your majesty.

LONG LIVE HIS MAJESTY.

>> Long live. Long live.

>> Rise.

Stand.

Sage,

now that you've avenged your family,

what is your next move? Where will you

go next?

>> I plan to leave here, but now I want to

stay

>> and see how far you'll go.

>> Then

stay.

>> Oh, right.

>> Now that you're emperor, who's the

empress?

>> Age wise, I am the oldest. The empress's

seat is rightfully mine.

>> No way. I was the first to be with

Edward.

>> I am a princess. I should be empress.

>> Who isn't a princess?

>> To find out what happens next, STAY

TUNED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.
