[Fated Hearts]

00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,009
[Episode 7]

3
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,590
Awake, huh?

4
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:01,070
This is

5
00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:02,810
very rude of you.

6
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:05,790
Wouldn't it be even ruder
if someone else saw this?

7
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:07,450
I might as well kill you first.

8
00:02:07,710 --> 00:02:09,750
If I silence you, no one will ever know.

9
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:10,400
Then you should have

10
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,000
done it while I was sleeping.

11
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,750
I don't like taking advantage of people.

12
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:16,560
Besides,

13
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:17,520
it would be such a pity

14
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,850
if I didn't get to see you
begging for mercy

15
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:20,870
before you die.

16
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:23,030
What a pity indeed—

17
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:25,280
I've never learned

18
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,600
how to beg anyone for mercy
in my whole life.

19
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,290
Everything can be learned.

20
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,440
You could give it a try today.

21
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,660
Your Highness!

22
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:45,620
Make him leave.

23
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:47,070
Hurry up.

24
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:52,000
Yes, Your Highness!

25
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,800
As long as you don't tell anyone about
what happened last night,

26
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,260
we can still be partners.

27
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,100
What are you thinking?

28
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,020
Nothing happened last night.

29
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,610
I saw you were drunk senseless,

30
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:09,470
so I just brought you back to rest.

31
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,710
Your looks aren't nearly enough

32
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:13,150
to catch my eye.

33
00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:16,380
That's for the best.

34
00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:18,710
But whether I kill you or not

35
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:20,210
depends solely on my mood.

36
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,960
It has nothing to do with what did
or did not happen last night.

37
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,030
Fine.

38
00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:26,310
But could you please

39
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:27,910
change your position first?

40
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:29,590
You're making my legs go numb.

41
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,180
How's that?

42
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,250
Holding a knife to someone

43
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:41,600
feels rather rude, doesn't it?

44
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:07,960
What's with these lousy clothes?

45
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,220
Messing with my moves.

46
00:04:12,190 --> 00:04:13,520
What are you looking at?

47
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:14,760
Didn't you leave?

48
00:04:18,170 --> 00:04:19,240
W-Which young lady

49
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,700
is talking to me right now?

50
00:04:20,730 --> 00:04:21,920
When I woke up today,

51
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,720
my vision was all blurry.

52
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,040
I...

53
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,130
I couldn't see a thing.

54
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,690
Then let me fix that for you.

55
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:31,310
Oh...

56
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:31,850
What...

57
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:33,480
What was that just now?

58
00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:37,280
I can't hear anything, either.

59
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:39,170
You'd better be deaf and mute.

60
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,659
My lips are sealed.

61
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,659
Your Highness.

62
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:58,480
I...

63
00:04:59,270 --> 00:05:00,380
Get to the point.

64
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Get to the point.

65
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:05,070
Xia Jingshi has come to Yujing,

66
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,800
saying it's regarding
the marriage alliance.

67
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,930
He'll arrive today.

68
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,780
Your Highness,

69
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,920
are you letting her go just like that?

70
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,310
How about I keep an eye on her for you?

71
00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:14,390
She'll be back.

72
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:19,390
Is it true that
Prince of Zhennan will arrive

73
00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:20,320
in Yujing today?

74
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:20,950
This news

75
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:22,480
came from the morning court session,

76
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,190
so it must be true.

77
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:23,920
His Majesty has arranged for

78
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
the Minister of Rites, Shen Wu,
to receive him.

79
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,860
But I heard that

80
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:28,680
Prince of Zhennan
isn't bringing many attendants with him.

81
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,310
Does my brother know about this?

82
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:31,210
What did he say?

83
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,630
I haven't heard

84
00:05:32,630 --> 00:05:34,360
any news from the First Prince.

85
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,390
Your Highness. His Highness
the Second Prince is here.

86
00:05:45,390 --> 00:05:46,170
Sister.

87
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:49,560
Guess what gift

88
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,850
I've prepared for you?

89
00:05:51,630 --> 00:05:53,800
Well, well.
You're not focusing on your studies

90
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,560
and instead spending time
preparing gifts for me.

91
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,310
Be careful, Father might punish you
if he finds out.

92
00:05:57,310 --> 00:05:58,440
If Father finds out,

93
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,000
he might even praise me
for being thoughtful.

94
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,130
Come on, bring it up.

95
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,370
Be careful. Slowly.

96
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:07,110
Sister, come check this out.

97
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:09,310
This is what I specially prepared for you:

98
00:06:09,310 --> 00:06:11,040
a hundred-year-old walnut tree.

99
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,120
It symbolizes a harmonious marriage
lasting 100 years,

100
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,720
specially chosen to wish you
a joyful wedding.

101
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,270
I'll take it then.

102
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,820
Thank you, Chengyang.

103
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,040
What wonderful gift

104
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,600
did Brother prepare for you?

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Brother has always adored you the most.

106
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,240
He must have given you

107
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,770
all sorts of
strange little trinkets, right?

108
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,070
Sister,

109
00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:30,980
where did you put his gifts?

110
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,390
Brother...

111
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:46,450
He didn't forget to you a gift, did he?

112
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,659
He doesn't approve of your marriage?

113
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,630
Nothing gets past you, does it?

114
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:57,080
Oh no.

115
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:00,000
Brother didn't give you any wedding gift,

116
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,750
and here I am,

117
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,120
as your little brother
making such a grand gesture.

118
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:02,630
Sister,

119
00:07:03,630 --> 00:07:05,630
as for this walnut tree...

120
00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:08,050
I'll just pretend I never saw
or heard of it.

121
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:10,000
I appreciate the thought, though.

122
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,710
You can take the gift back.

123
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Don't worry.

124
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,890
I won't mind.

125
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,190
But what if Brother

126
00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:16,270
just won't agree?

127
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:16,750
What then?

128
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,280
I will marry Xia Jingshi.

129
00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:21,870
Sister,

130
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,360
I just remembered

131
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:25,950
I still have homework to do today.

132
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:27,830
I'll take my leave now.

133
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Come on. Move it away.

134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,070
Yes.

135
00:07:31,070 --> 00:07:31,600
Hurry up.

136
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,100
I take my leave.

137
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,040
Let me out!

138
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:55,720
Let me out of here!

139
00:07:55,870 --> 00:07:56,550
Xueying!

140
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Sister!

141
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,530
Don't come closer! Go away!

142
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,590
What's happening?

143
00:08:01,870 --> 00:08:02,310
Yesterday,

144
00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:03,950
right after I brought the kids here,

145
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:04,510
these

146
00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:05,290
unreasonable bastards

147
00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:06,270
sealed off the residence

148
00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:08,000
and wouldn't let anyone leave.

149
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,640
I know who's behind this.

150
00:08:10,780 --> 00:08:11,680
Don't be afraid.

151
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,010
Wait for me to come back.

152
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,510
Sister!

153
00:08:31,730 --> 00:08:33,059
What's your intention?

154
00:08:33,390 --> 00:08:34,750
If you want to eat, have a seat.

155
00:08:34,750 --> 00:08:35,950
If not, keep quiet.

156
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,150
I hate being disturbed

157
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,610
while I'm eating the most.

158
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,159
So you knew about this all along.

159
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:42,510
Knew what?

160
00:08:43,669 --> 00:08:44,600
Don't play dumb.

161
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,030
Xueying's residence

162
00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:47,270
is being closely watched,

163
00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:48,790
allowing people in but not out.

164
00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:50,030
I was wondering which bastard

165
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:50,910
did it.

166
00:08:51,390 --> 00:08:52,920
Turns out it really was you.

167
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,250
Miss Yixiao, you're in quite a temper.

168
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,630
It seems none of the dishes on this table

169
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:01,750
are to your taste.

170
00:09:02,390 --> 00:09:03,960
But whether they suit your taste or not
doesn't matter.

171
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,750
As long as they suit mine,
that's what counts.

172
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:06,720
Yesterday, you said it yourself

173
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,670
that you'd let me go,

174
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:08,630
but now you've gone back on your word

175
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:09,600
and broken your promise.

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,360
What exactly are you playing at?

177
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,220
I'm protecting you guys.

178
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,910
Why can't you appreciate
my good intentions?

179
00:09:14,910 --> 00:09:15,720
Protecting?

180
00:09:15,790 --> 00:09:17,520
This is clearly imprisonment!

181
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,330
Imprisonment?

182
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:23,290
The entire Yujing City

183
00:09:23,290 --> 00:09:24,290
is my territory,

184
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,720
all under my control.

185
00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:27,120
And you're someone I brought back myself.

186
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,980
Would I even need to imprison you?

187
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:32,270
Can you possibly escape from my grasp?

188
00:09:34,270 --> 00:09:35,950
As my defeated opponent,

189
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,340
you sure have quite the attitude.

190
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,100
Looks like

191
00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:42,240
you don't want to cooperate after all.

192
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Of course I do.

193
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:44,870
But it has to be me

194
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,550
who sets the ground rules.

195
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:47,360
You have your rules,

196
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,290
and I have mine.

197
00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:49,870
It's not solely up to you.

198
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,820
Your Highness.

199
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:16,270
All our men in the Feng Battalion know

200
00:10:16,270 --> 00:10:17,960
that Susha is to form a marriage alliance
with Jinxiu.

201
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,630
Somehow a rumor has spread,

202
00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:19,480
saying that Your Highness

203
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,910
opposes the marriage alliance,

204
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:22,240
and that His Majesty is going to
strip you of your military command.

205
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Our men are furious

206
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,320
and threaten to confront the court.

207
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,360
I fear a mutiny may break out
in the ranks.

208
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,290
Utter nonsense!

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Order all Military Commanders
and Deputy Generals

210
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,330
to come see me immediately.

211
00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:33,360
Yes, Your Highness.

212
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,320
Go find out

213
00:10:34,510 --> 00:10:36,600
exactly who's trying to
undermine army morale.

214
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,020
Those deliberately spreading rumors

215
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:39,290
must not be spared.

216
00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:40,640
Yes, Your Highness.

217
00:10:56,910 --> 00:10:59,030
The Feng Battalion
has always had iron discipline

218
00:10:59,030 --> 00:11:00,910
and stands as the model
for all the armies.

219
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:03,200
Every soldier faithfully
fulfills their duties

220
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,290
and obeys orders.

221
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,080
Now it's said the army

222
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,360
is restless with signs of mutiny,

223
00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:10,270
but I don't believe it.

224
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:11,120
If you ask me,

225
00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:13,840
it must be you

226
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,370
leading officers
whose hearts are wavering.

227
00:11:20,670 --> 00:11:21,670
Everyone here

228
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,670
has been through

229
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:25,710
life and death alongside me.

230
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,130
There are no outsiders here today.

231
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,000
If you have any complaints,

232
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,530
please speak up freely
and hold nothing back.

233
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:35,610
Your Highness,

234
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,120
there's one thing I don't understand.

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,150
Susha and Jinxiu

236
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,200
have such deep-seated hatred,

237
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,080
and now, all of a sudden, we are to form
a marriage alliance to seek peace.

238
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Could it be...

239
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Could it be because

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,790
we lost the battle at Pingling City

241
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:47,050
that we must humble ourselves for peace?

242
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,200
I believe this is the very question

243
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,980
on all of your minds.

244
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,240
That battle at Pingling City was fought
by us.

245
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,510
If this marriage alliance
is because we lost,

246
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:55,400
then how can I

247
00:11:56,270 --> 00:11:57,870
face all my brothers in arms?

248
00:11:58,270 --> 00:11:59,240
Utter nonsense!

249
00:12:00,030 --> 00:12:02,030
A marriage alliance between two kingdoms
is such a momentous matter,

250
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:03,510
affecting the major affairs
of both kingdoms.

251
00:12:03,510 --> 00:12:04,390
How could it be determined

252
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,450
by a single battle?

253
00:12:05,630 --> 00:12:06,960
Besides, let's be clear—

254
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,720
it was Jinxiu that proposed
this marriage alliance.

255
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,310
Why?

256
00:12:09,550 --> 00:12:10,720
Because they chickened out.

257
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,360
They don't dare fight us anymore.

258
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,720
They want to use the Battle of Pingling

259
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,480
as a graceful exit,

260
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,480
and that's why they came to us
with this marriage alliance proposal.

261
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,670
It was Emperor of Jinxiu
who proposed the marriage alliance,

262
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:19,840
yet you're all

263
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,790
sulking and feeling resentful here.

264
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:22,000
What are you trying to do?

265
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,510
Are you trying to force His Highness
to rebel?

266
00:12:23,510 --> 00:12:24,080
Enough!

267
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,300
You only need to remember two things.

268
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,330
First,

269
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,670
the defeat of Battle of Pingling
was my fault.

270
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:33,630
None of our soldiers in the Feng Battalion
are to blame.

271
00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:34,750
Your Highness, how could it be your fault?

272
00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:35,390
Second,

273
00:12:36,030 --> 00:12:37,960
regarding the marriage alliance,

274
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:39,450
I have agreed to it.

275
00:12:43,090 --> 00:12:44,790
I understand

276
00:12:45,270 --> 00:12:47,030
any grievances our soldiers may have,

277
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:48,760
and I'll take responsibility.

278
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:50,670
Any resentment our soldiers feel,

279
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:52,270
let it be counted against me.

280
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,510
But you must tell everyone

281
00:12:54,530 --> 00:12:56,480
that His Majesty has not stripped me
of my military power,

282
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,260
and no one at court
is plotting against me.

283
00:12:58,260 --> 00:13:00,050
The weapons of our Feng Battalion

284
00:13:00,050 --> 00:13:01,510
will only ever be pointed at our enemies,

285
00:13:01,510 --> 00:13:02,840
never at our own people,

286
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:04,870
and mutiny will never be tolerated!

287
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,130
Yes, Your Highness!

288
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,030
Your Highness,
I have urgent news to report.

289
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:17,660
Speak.

290
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,780
Yun Qing's dagger?

291
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,460
This is the dagger
you previously awarded to Yun Qing.

292
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:28,360
He values it more than his life

293
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,690
and never parts with it.

294
00:13:29,870 --> 00:13:31,120
How did it end up with you?

295
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:31,870
Your Highness,

296
00:13:31,870 --> 00:13:32,510
Yun Qing quietly left

297
00:13:32,510 --> 00:13:34,080
the camp early this morning.

298
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,200
He left this dagger

299
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:37,080
with a message for Your Highness,

300
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,910
that he intends to kill someone
on Your Highness's behalf,

301
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:42,410
and that he's failed you in this life

302
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,240
and wasted your cultivation.

303
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,100
Is he leaving the Feng Battalion?

304
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,400
You may leave.

305
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:48,320
Yes.

306
00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:51,670
What does he mean?

307
00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:52,960
Who does he want to kill?

308
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,160
You said this morning

309
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,520
that Xia Jingshi is arriving in Yujing?

310
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:58,500
Yes, he's arriving today.

311
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,910
[Yujing Border]

312
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,210
He intends to kill Xia Jingshi?

313
00:14:13,610 --> 00:14:16,270
Xia Jingshi is coming for
the marriage alliance.

314
00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:17,600
If he dies in Yujing,

315
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,980
Susha will be accused

316
00:14:18,980 --> 00:14:20,440
of betrayal and dishonor,

317
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,400
and Yun Qing's crime will be unforgivable.

318
00:14:24,510 --> 00:14:26,150
Please, Your Highness, save Yun Qing.

319
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:27,720
Yun Qing is completely loyal
to Your Highness.

320
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,390
He knows that Your Highness

321
00:14:28,390 --> 00:14:29,910
cannot kill Xia Jingshi yourself,

322
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:31,570
so he wants to kill him for you.

323
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,980
How can he be so foolish?

324
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,030
If he does this,

325
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:35,720
isn't he just giving up

326
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,790
all his hard-earned military achievements

327
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:38,250
and his promising future?

328
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,370
Yun Qing is your sworn brother,

329
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,790
but he's also like a little brother to me.

330
00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:47,520
Don't worry.

331
00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:50,040
I'll definitely find a way to stop him.

332
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:50,720
But...

333
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,060
Your Highness,

334
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:53,530
Yun Qing is the best archer

335
00:14:53,530 --> 00:14:54,620
in our battalion,

336
00:14:54,650 --> 00:14:55,990
and he knows the terrain well.

337
00:14:55,990 --> 00:14:58,520
If he wants to kill Xia Jingshi,
I'm afraid...

338
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,730
Besides,

339
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:02,110
where would we even find him?

340
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:13,070
Why should I help you?

341
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,630
As long as you help me find him,

342
00:15:15,630 --> 00:15:16,960
you can name your price.

343
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,670
I have no price to name,

344
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:21,330
and I don't have that ability.

345
00:15:22,010 --> 00:15:23,080
Although you've lost

346
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,540
the strength to draw a bow,

347
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,360
you still have an archer's keen eyes

348
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,660
and experience.

349
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:28,870
Well, I'm flattered.

350
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:30,000
Yun Qing doesn't know

351
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,790
Xia Jingshi's exact time of arrival
in Yujing,

352
00:15:31,790 --> 00:15:33,030
so he can only lie in wait

353
00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:34,520
for Xia Jingshi to appear.

354
00:15:34,630 --> 00:15:36,170
The most secure position to strike

355
00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:37,700
would be near the city gate.

356
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:39,120
The terrain outside the city gate
is too open,

357
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,630
leaving Yun Qing nowhere to hide,

358
00:15:40,630 --> 00:15:42,560
so he can only stay inside the gate.

359
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,550
What you need to do is simple:

360
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:45,480
just tell me

361
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,580
if you were to assassinate Xia Jingshi,

362
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:49,380
what position would you choose?

363
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,790
If it's really as simple as you say,

364
00:15:51,790 --> 00:15:53,390
then why bother coming to me?

365
00:15:53,550 --> 00:15:54,360
I'm sure there are

366
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,720
plenty of skilled archers

367
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,270
in your army as well.

368
00:15:56,270 --> 00:15:57,550
You probably don't know that

369
00:15:57,550 --> 00:15:58,510
Yun Qing is considered Susha's

370
00:15:58,510 --> 00:15:59,840
most formidable archer.

371
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,080
Ordinary archers can't even imagine

372
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,610
how formidable he truly is.

373
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:03,600
Miss Yixiao,

374
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:04,720
you are

375
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,840
the greatest archer in the world.

376
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,910
Right now, only you can guess

377
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:08,710
what Yun Qing might be thinking.

378
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,630
I'm not nearly as skilled as you say.

379
00:16:10,630 --> 00:16:12,160
It's not worth mentioning.

380
00:16:12,610 --> 00:16:14,800
See how good he is with words?

381
00:16:15,510 --> 00:16:17,970
When asking for help,
one should act like it.

382
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,020
Tell me, what are your conditions?

383
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,650
I can agree to three of them.

384
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:26,280
That's not what you said just now.

385
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,210
Fine.

386
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:38,010
Five it is.

387
00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:43,620
"The entire Yujing City

388
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,390
is my territory.

389
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,240
Everything's under my control."

390
00:16:48,630 --> 00:16:50,750
First Prince,
you're truly impressive, huh?

391
00:16:50,750 --> 00:16:51,690
If you're really that impressive,

392
00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:53,690
how come you can't even find someone

393
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,090
when you want to?

394
00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:58,360
Leave some leeway in your dealings.

395
00:16:58,510 --> 00:16:59,940
Don't push things too far,

396
00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:01,630
and always leave yourself a way out.

397
00:17:01,630 --> 00:17:02,570
Don't you agree?

398
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:05,589
What's wrong?

399
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:07,069
You look

400
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:08,589
quite reluctant, First Prince.

401
00:17:08,589 --> 00:17:09,960
I've agreed to help you,

402
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,060
yet you didn't even say thank you.

403
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,740
Thank you.

404
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,290
That's more like it.

405
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,349
As for the first condition...

406
00:17:18,349 --> 00:17:19,819
The guards at Miss Ling's residence

407
00:17:19,819 --> 00:17:20,920
will be withdrawn.

408
00:17:24,829 --> 00:17:25,480
Alright.

409
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,880
I haven't thought of the other four yet.

410
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:27,960
Let's leave those pending for now.

411
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,620
Give me the map of Yujing City.

412
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,540
What?

413
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,350
Afraid I'll sneak a look at

414
00:17:34,350 --> 00:17:35,570
your secret maps?

415
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:37,160
Forget it if you won't share.

416
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,490
The maps are in my study.

417
00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:39,240
Come with me.

418
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:44,320
Miss Yixiao.

419
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Xia Jingshi and his party

420
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,640
set off from the post station
at the border early this morning.

421
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,180
They should arrive in Yujing

422
00:17:49,180 --> 00:17:50,640
in no more than four hours.

423
00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:52,900
This is the gate
where Xia Jingshi will enter the city.

424
00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:55,550
[West Gate] [Post Station]

425
00:17:53,070 --> 00:17:54,240
Then he'll follow this road

426
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,970
all the way to the post station.

427
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,000
What kind of bow does Yun Qing use?

428
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,800
He took a two-picul bow with him.

429
00:18:00,350 --> 00:18:01,590
His archery skills are such that

430
00:18:01,590 --> 00:18:03,240
within 100 paces, he never misses;

431
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,720
at 150 paces, he hits 6 or 7 out of 10;

432
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,600
and at 180 paces, 3 or 4 out of 10.

433
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,750
We've already sent people

434
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:09,030
to search along the route
from the city gate to the post station,

435
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:10,310
within a range of 100 to 150 paces

436
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:11,370
on either side,

437
00:18:11,450 --> 00:18:13,080
but we still couldn't find Yun Qing.

438
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,700
Should we expand the search area?

439
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:15,900
There's no time left.

440
00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:17,320
[West Gate] [Tea House]

441
00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:18,080
How far is this position

442
00:18:18,270 --> 00:18:19,330
from the city gate?

443
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:21,210
Just over 50 paces.

444
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,340
That's enough.

445
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:24,190
Are you suggesting

446
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,940
Yun Qing would choose a closer position?

447
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:27,920
He knew you would

448
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,960
try to stop him,

449
00:18:29,310 --> 00:18:30,240
so he deliberately took

450
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,340
a two-picul bow.

451
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:33,270
But have you considered that

452
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:35,170
a two-picul bow is so large,

453
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:37,000
and bringing it to a crowded area

454
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,240
would make him too conspicuous?

455
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,000
With so many of you searching

456
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,070
and still not finding him,

457
00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:41,130
it shows that he has

458
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,110
concealed his whereabouts

459
00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:43,040
extremely well.

460
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,470
Yun Qing only took a two-picul bow

461
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,210
to deceive us,

462
00:18:48,830 --> 00:18:50,110
to make us misjudge

463
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:51,150
his position.

464
00:18:52,030 --> 00:18:53,480
There's an archery shop here.

465
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:54,030
[Archery Shop]

00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:55,440
[Archery Shop]

467
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:57,680
He must have bought

468
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,790
a new bow here.

469
00:18:59,830 --> 00:19:00,480
When Yun Qing left,

470
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,010
he left his personal token.

471
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,750
This shows that after the assassination,

472
00:19:04,750 --> 00:19:06,430
he doesn't want to implicate
the Feng Battalion,

473
00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:07,200
so he surely wouldn't use

474
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,030
a Feng Battalion bow for the killing.

475
00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:09,920

with a range of no more than 50 paces,

479
00:19:12,970 --> 00:19:13,750
but for

480
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:14,830
a master archer,

481
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,240
50 paces is more than enough

482
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,310
for him to be confident
he can make a lethal shot.

483
00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:19,150
Besides,

484
00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:20,440
Yun Qing is ready

485
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,330
to die anyway.

486
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,600
He only wants to kill,

487
00:19:22,790 --> 00:19:24,420
with no intention of escaping,

488
00:19:24,420 --> 00:19:26,880
so he doesn't have to leave himself
a way out.

489
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:29,900
Therefore,

00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:16,480
I just saw Lu Ke

562
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,200
preparing your military robe.

563
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,880
It seems

564
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:21,240
you're also going to the city tower.

565
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,160
Xia Jingshi

566
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,800
is not that important.

567
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:24,480
I'm only going

568
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,680
to support my sister.

569
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,410
I'll go with you.

570
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,680
What if there are others

571
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,460
who want to assassinate Xia Jingshi?

572
00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:32,390
Take me with you,

573
00:24:32,540 --> 00:24:33,770
so I can help you spot

574
00:24:33,790 --> 00:24:35,450
if there are other assassins.

575
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,330
You just want to go see Xia Jingshi,
right?

576
00:24:41,070 --> 00:24:42,000
Actually,

577
00:24:42,370 --> 00:24:43,760
I'm quite curious too.

578
00:24:44,030 --> 00:24:45,720
If Xia Jingshi sees you

579
00:24:45,770 --> 00:24:46,750
and discovers that you're now

580
00:24:46,750 --> 00:24:48,490
a concubine in my household,

581
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,950
how would he react?

582
00:24:50,830 --> 00:24:52,000

from the death camp.

00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,630
As you command.

701
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,780
Neither sitting nor bowing.

702
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,000
If you marry my daughter,

703
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,199
you'll be my junior.

704
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:35,230
You're a prince, and I'm an emperor.

705
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,360
There's a distinction
between ruler and subject.

706
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,159
Shouldn't you

707
00:34:38,170 --> 00:34:39,530
bow to me?

00:35:04,590 --> 00:35:05,390
Your Majesty,

00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,320
let tea serve as my drink.

710
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,750
Are you trying to treat me as your equal?

711
00:35:12,590 --> 00:35:14,050
When I marry the princess,

712
00:35:14,590 --> 00:35:18,320
I'll observe the proper etiquette
between father and son-in-law.

713
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,980
Why not wait until the wine's served?

714
00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:35,590
To express my sincerity,

715
00:35:36,110 --> 00:35:37,510
whether it's tea or wine,

716
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,420
what difference does it make?

717
00:35:40,220 --> 00:35:41,180
Try this.

718
00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:59,110
How is it?

719
00:36:02,510 --> 00:36:04,920
Princess Xiyang has a sweet tooth.

720
00:36:07,230 --> 00:36:08,630
How do you know

721
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:10,910
these are Xiyang's favorite pastries?

722
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,190
Your Majesty is a man of great talent
and broad vision,

723
00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:14,670
with the world in your heart.

724
00:36:14,670 --> 00:36:15,320
Recommending such sweet pastries to me

725
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,740
certainly isn't because

726
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,380
you like them yourself.

727
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:19,670
I suppose

728
00:36:20,190 --> 00:36:21,670
Your Majesty wants to test

729
00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:23,000
if Princess Xiyang and I

730
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,360
have compatible tastes,

731
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:24,910
right?

732
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,320
Prince of Zhennan,
you're quite perceptive.

733
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,570
The pastries you just had

734
00:36:31,710 --> 00:36:33,440
were created by Xiyang herself

735
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:35,370
when she was only seven years old.

736
00:36:35,590 --> 00:36:38,000
Her mother said that as a princess,

737
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:39,360
she shouldn't be cooking herself

738
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,040
and should let the royal chefs handle it.

739
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,230
But Xiyang insisted

740
00:36:43,150 --> 00:36:44,280
that these pastries

741
00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:46,490
were meant for her family,

742
00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:48,880
and she couldn't entrust them to others.

743
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,580
Therefore,

744
00:36:49,710 --> 00:36:52,040
in this entire world,

745
00:36:52,190 --> 00:36:53,960
only she and her two brothers,

746
00:36:54,070 --> 00:36:56,400
myself, and the Empress have tasted them.

747
00:36:56,590 --> 00:36:58,050
And now, you're the sixth.

748
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,710
It's truly enviable

749
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,420
to hear Your Majesty speak

750
00:37:03,630 --> 00:37:05,110
so fondly of family matters.

751
00:37:05,110 --> 00:37:06,170
I know that

752
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,320
although you and the Emperor of Jinxiu

753
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,320
are brothers, you're not close.

754
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,030
My children are different.

755
00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:15,970
Though they were not born
of the same mother,

756
00:37:16,030 --> 00:37:17,440
their bond as siblings

757
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,540
is deep and strong,

758
00:37:18,590 --> 00:37:19,480
second to none.

759
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,460
That's wonderful.

760
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:22,840
And?

761
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,840
The marriage between you and Xiyang

762
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,630
was Xiyang's own choice.

763
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,530
I know that

764
00:37:31,630 --> 00:37:34,510
others say Susha was defeated

765
00:37:34,590 --> 00:37:36,660
and could only buy a few years of peace

766
00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:38,930
by marrying off a princess.

767
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,510
They are wrong.

768
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,800
If it weren't for
Xiyang's affection for you,

769
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,630
I would never

770
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:48,070
trade my beloved daughter's
lifelong happiness

771
00:37:48,070 --> 00:37:49,880
for a few years of peace in Susha.

772
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:57,780
What I mean is

773
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:58,800
I

774
00:37:59,190 --> 00:38:01,710
will absolutely not allow Jinxiu
to fail Xiyang.

775
00:38:01,710 --> 00:38:02,710
In this marriage,

776
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,190
what I want is my daughter's

777
00:38:04,190 --> 00:38:05,710
happiness and well-being.

778
00:38:05,710 --> 00:38:06,110
I

779
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,280
will not give you

780
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,140
any chance to disappoint Xiyang.

781
00:38:12,630 --> 00:38:14,230
Your Majesty speaks wisely.

782
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,190
Kingdom affairs are kingdom affairs,

783
00:38:16,190 --> 00:38:18,390
and family matters are family matters.

784
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,760
I won't confuse the two.

785

[Wutong Mansion]

787
00:38:45,710 --> 00:38:46,190
Stop!

788
00:38:46,590 --> 00:38:47,920
This is the First Prince's Residence.

No trespassing allowed!

790
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:49,770
Step aside.

791

I'm looking for Feng Suige.

792
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,800
Who do you think you are,

793
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,200
daring to call the First Prince
by his name?

794

Ning Fei from Jinxiu.

795
00:38:57,230 --> 00:38:57,760
Get lost!

796
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,840
Is Fu Yixiao

797
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,680
here with you?

798
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,820
Get lost, get lost.

799
00:39:04,510 --> 00:39:04,920

Feng Suige!

804
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,540
I know you're in there.

805
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,800
Why are you making so much noise?

806
00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:14,810
Yixiao needs to rest.

807
00:39:15,070 --> 00:39:15,850
Miss Ling,

808
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,110
it's me,

809
00:39:17,710 --> 00:39:18,910
Ning Fei from Jinxiu.

810
00:39:19,070 --> 00:39:20,190
I don't care who you are.

811
00:39:20,190 --> 00:39:21,760
Stop making such a racket here.

812
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,700
Yixiao is ill and needs rest.

813
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,060
What's wrong with her?

814
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,280
If you're smart, you won't persist.

815
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,030
Her affairs are none of your business.

816
00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:32,710
Just leave.

817
00:39:32,750 --> 00:39:34,320
Yixiao isn't seeing anyone.

818
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,380
Take me to see her.

819
00:39:35,590 --> 00:39:36,550
I'll just take a look at her
from a distance,

820
00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:37,640
without disturbing her any further.

-Who's being so noisy here?

823
00:39:47,710 --> 00:39:49,110
Please step aside, Miss.

824
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:50,740
I don't want to hurt you.

00:40:06,670 --> 00:40:09,060
So this is Jinxiu's greatest warrior?

830
00:40:10,660 --> 00:40:12,570
I haven't even said it was on.

831
00:40:15,180 --> 00:40:18,520
[Wutong Mansion]

832
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,540
Greetings, Your Highness.

833
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:39,800
Mr. Ma,

834
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:41,950
I'd like a word with Prince of Zhennan.

835
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,290
Greetings, Your Highness.

836
00:40:55,110 --> 00:40:56,510
Do you still remember me?

837
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,000
We've never met before,

838
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:00,850
so how could I remember you?

839
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,020
So you really don't remember.

840
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,840
Three years ago,

841
00:41:06,290 --> 00:41:08,490
at the border between Jinxiu and Susha,

842
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:09,400
on the desert.

843
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,840
Prince of Zhennan, you should know that

844
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,590
my father is a warrior emperor

845
00:41:13,590 --> 00:41:15,590
who founded our kingdom
through military might,

846
00:41:15,590 --> 00:41:17,650
and my brother is the commander of
Susha's three armies,

847
00:41:17,650 --> 00:41:19,670
so I can be considered
coming from a military family.

848
00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:21,030
Given my background,

849
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,480
I also thought about achieving glory

850
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,630
on the battlefield

851
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,840
like my father and brother did.

852
00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:27,590
It's not that I enjoy war.

853
00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:29,190
I just believe

854
00:41:29,230 --> 00:41:30,710
that as a princess,

855
00:41:31,150 --> 00:41:33,550
I should do something
to serve our kingdom.

856
00:41:33,590 --> 00:41:35,890
You don't have to go to war
to serve your kingdom.

857
00:41:35,890 --> 00:41:38,020
You have your own duties as a princess.

858
00:41:39,070 --> 00:41:40,260
What you just said

859
00:41:40,590 --> 00:41:41,630
is exactly the same as

860
00:41:41,630 --> 00:41:43,360
what my brother said back then.

861
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,630
Three years ago,

862
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,920
I wanted to follow my brother to battle,

863
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,150
but he wouldn't allow it.

864
00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:49,800
But I was young and impetuous then,

865
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,280
and somehow found the courage

866
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,070
to secretly acquire a suit of armor.

867
00:41:53,070 --> 00:41:53,840
I pulled some strings,

868
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,030
snuck into the army,

869
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,150
and followed the troops into battle.

870
00:41:57,150 --> 00:41:58,400
My brother

871
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,330
started from the bottom level

872
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,630
and made military achievements
step by step

873
00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:04,110
until he became commander.

874
00:42:04,110 --> 00:42:05,600
I wanted to be like him.

875
00:42:06,510 --> 00:42:07,960
But on the second day of the campaign,

876
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,510
I ran into trouble.

877
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,230
I had heard from my brother

878
00:42:11,230 --> 00:42:12,480
that there was a shortcut

879
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,290
in the desert.

880
00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:16,380
To catch up with my brother,

881
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,360
I slipped away from my attendants,

882
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,190
intending to take that shortcut.

883
00:42:20,190 --> 00:42:21,280
Little did I know

884
00:42:21,550 --> 00:42:23,080
I would be completely lost.

885
00:42:25,230 --> 00:42:28,000
What was even more desperate
than my dire situation was

886
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,930
that I was discovered by the enemy.

887
00:43:03,550 --> 00:43:04,480
It's a woman.

888
00:43:27,630 --> 00:43:28,690
I don't kill women.

889
00:43:34,030 --> 00:43:34,560
