[The Wolf]

[Episode 19]

[The cliff at the woods, life is at stake.]

Ma Zhai Xing!

I knew it.

As long as I have the bronze bell

you can always find me.

Will accompany me

while I buy some candied hawthorns?

I have no idea what you’re saying.

Come with me.

Are you...

Are you still holding a grudge

because I called you a monster?

That I said you would hurt me?

Those words hurt you too deeply.

Is that why you refuse to tell me who you were?

Princess.

Yet again you’ve mistaken me

for someone else.

You’re right.

That night

when you called out my name at the courtyard,

I mistook you for someone again.

At that moment

I should have recognized you

that we’ve met before.

How could I not recognize you?

How could I?

You knew it well enough.

That night,

I couldn’t bear to see you suffer the pain of a one-sided love.

That was why I allow you

to mistake me for other man

and called you Xing’er.

Listen.

The way you said that name

was just like him.

It’s so much like him.

But there is something that shares a stronger resemblance.

Of all the people in this world

only you alone

can read and see the wind.

I saw you on the bridge that day.

You were standing there

waiting for the fragrance pouch

to be dropped by the wind.

And of all the people

only Wolf Boy

can save me in time.

That is an ability

only a man raised by wolves can possess.

Xing’er.

Wolf Boy.

You’re back!

I am Lord Bo the Third Prince.

You may address me as Lord Bo.

I once had a friend

who looked very much like Lord Bo.

He bears a scar on his shoulder.

I have no scar on me.

Even with your ugliness

you still look so much like him.

I am not the Wolf Boy you can betray and hurt as you wish!

You really are Wolf Boy,

am I right?

I knew you would catch me.

I knew it.

I knew you would catch me.

Wolf Boy.

You risked your life to believe I was your friend Wolf Boy.

What if I wasn’t?

I believe you were him

just as I believe you had reason to hide

the truth of your brother’s death.

I was right before.

I was certainly I’d never be wrong.

What I couldn’t save you in time?

That day

you risked your life to put your faith in me.

Yet I didn’t make it in time.

Which led you to fall off the cliff

and never to be found again.

I first thought

you were no longer of this world.

But as it turned out, you survived.

You became Lord Bo.

You were right next to me all this time.

Why didn’t you reunite with me?

Do you hate me for lying to you?

I can’t reunite with you.

His Majesty saved my life.

He wanted me to forget my past.

My identity as Wolf Boy will be shunned by others.

He ordered me not to mention it to anyone.

But you saw right through it.

I threatened you with my life and forced you to confess.

Now I know you were Wolf Boy.

If His Majesty wishes to punish me,

I gladly accept it.

His Majesty

wanted it kept as secret to preserve my reputation.

Not to mention you and I are engaged.

If I plea to His Majesty,

perhaps he would forgive you.

Other than His Majesty’s order,

I am also worried

if you found out I was the terrifying Lord Bo

and not your beloved Wolf Boy,

you would be disappointed.

Lord Bo can never be Wolf Boy.

Rather than letting you give up on Wolf Boy,

I might as well become the Lord Bo you hate.

So this is your way to protect me?

Just as that day,

I would rather suffer your resentment

than letting you stay on Wolf Hunt Mountain.

Why?

Why were we both so foolish?

Our way to protect each other

had made us suffer the greatest sorrow.

I am headed for Lord Xun’s manor.

I’ll explain to my brother about your note.

I don’t want him to be worried.

After years of separation,

we have too much

catching up to do.

You have my word.

Once I am back,

we’ll never be separated again.

You forgot to return something.

The fragrance pouch.

Go on.

I’ll keep an eye on you.

Ma Zhai Xing.

It’s time you paid your debt.

This is where we first met.

Why do you

need me here to clear my debt?

I need a place where Lord Bo isn’t around.

Lord Bo was Wolf Boy.

Wolf Boy is now Lord Bo.

Am I right?

You were having a conversation with him on the cliff.

You forced him into admitting by jumping off the cliff.

I saw everything.

You brought me there yesterday.

I knew something was off.

Furthermore, based on what you told me

and what you pulled off at Lord Xun’s mansion,

I knew I should follow you.

To my surprise,

I got the chance to witness you touching reunion with Lord Bo.

Ma Zhai Xing.

I am tired of helping you.

I kidnapped Chu You Zhen for you.

And what did I get in the end?

Lord Bo is just as loyal to you as Wolf Boy.

Wait.

Wolf Boy and Lord Bo

turned out to be the same man.

How did you even fall in love with him twice?

You wouldn’t even give me a chance to try my luck.

Ji Chong.

You’re willing to help,

for that,

I shall forever remain grateful.

I’ve told you before.

When you feel sadness and pain,

I’ll be there to catch you.

I won’t let you fall deeper into the sorrow

I thought I could be that man for you.

I am sorry.

Losing to Lord Bo is

unacceptable for me.

But losing to Wolf Boy,

I’ll gladly accept it.

He was raised by wolves.

He became one with the wild.

He jumped off the cliff to save you.

Wherever you are,

as long as he hears the bell ring

he can always find you.

I can do

none of these.

Even though I treated you well,

have a handsome face

and full of charisma,

I still ended up

in Lord Xun’s mansion

working as a guard

only to protect you.

Yet Lord Bo turned out to be Wolf Boy.

Fate has left me with no chance!

Ji Chong.

Please stop.

You’ve have

a precious friend of mine.

Friend?

I have more than enough friends in my life.

I stayed

all because of you.

And since I can’t have your love,

I don’t see

any more reason to stay in this place.

Where will you go?

A place without Wolf Boy

and Ma Zhai Xing.

I’ll continue to be a wandering maverick living a life of freedom.

Don’t give me that look.

I’m still going to ask you to pay.

Every job in the world

has their rules.

Being owed by brings bad luck.

You owe me three things.

First of all,

give me something as a token.

How about that?

It’s Wolf Boy’s token for you.

I want that.

Actually,

my mother gave it to me.

But since you asked...

Here.

I never planned to get this bell from you.

All I want

is one of the clapper stones.

What is the second thing?

The second thing

is

To come with me as I deal with someone I dislike.

Come to Wolf Hunt Mountain if you wish to see Xing’er.

What has got into Lord Bo?

He rushed off to Wolf Hunt Mountain

as soon as he got Ji Chong’s letter.

He didn’t have to go there.

Ji Chong would never hurt Princess Ma.

Ji Chong is provoking Lord Bo.

So he came here and took Her Highness.

But I am surprised.

My master was actually her beloved Wolf Boy.

Should His Majesty find out,

I wonder what punishment will be given to Lord Bo.

Where is my brother going in such a hurry?

My father wants to see us now.

Where exactly did my brother go?

Say something.

Is he in trouble?

Tell me!

I’ll take full responsibility.

It’s you!

It’s an honour to meet you, Lord Bo.

No.

I should address you as Wolf Boy.

It must sound very disrespectful.

I get it.

Perhaps I should call you Lord Wolf.

Do you like it?

It’s an honour to meet you, Lord Wolf.

You two are conspiring!

He forced me.

Ji Chong.

What is the third thing you want from me?

Release him once you got it.

Zhai Xing.

He is the mighty Lord Bo.

My little trick isn’t enough to kill him.

Besides,

do you care so much for him?

Fine.

The third thing I want is...

Let go of her!

You scoundrel!

You’re no better than me.

You have been fine over the years,

but she suffered because you lied.

You are no righteous man.

Enough!

Stop fighting!

Both of you! Stop!

That hurts.

I think my wound is tearing.

Xing’er, where does it hurt?

Zhai Xing, are you all right?

She is my consort, mind your own business.

Don’t forget, she was shot because of me.

Is your leg feeling better now?

I can run like a tiger!

Fine!

Stop!

You two, stop fighting!

Don’t you see how childish you are?

It’s time for you to go.

See yourself out.

Ma Zhai Xing.

Thank you for the clapper stone.

You gave him the clapper stones?

Ma Zhai Xing, don’t you forget.

You still owe me.

I don’t want you to be my friend.

I want you

to owe me forever.

So long.

Come back here!

Seeing how he helped me before, just let him go.

He helped you?

So you gave him the stones?

Think about it.

Every time he helped me out

was because you picked on me

and when I felt the most helpless.

It’s my fault.

To make up for you,

I’ll stay with you for the night.

Then eat my punch.

Close your eyes.

Are you still mad at me?

I never really blamed you.

Wolf Boy.

Zhui Ri.

It’s just you and me now.

What’s so interesting with campfire?

I was watching you.

I want to see

how life has been for you.

I went from Wolf Boy to Lord Bo,

how bad can it be?

Back then,

a stare into Wolf Boy’s eyes

and I could tell every emotions he was feeling.

But now

I can’t see anything from your eyes.

The perilous imperial court

has rendered you an emotionless person.

You’ll never have to guess.

Whether I was Wolf Boy or Lord Bo,

as long as you’re with me,

I am happy.

After you fell off the cliff,

how did you went from Wolf Boy to becoming Lord Bo?

Why has your scar disappeared?

After His Majesty saved my life,

he sent me

who was like a monster

to the palace dungeon.

And in the dungeon,

there were plenty of oddities

who researched on medicines and weapons,

they too were shunned by the world.

They were trained

to serve His Majesty.

What did they use you for?

For marches and weapon of war.

I’ve done unspeakable things.

After he assimilated oddities like us,

he sent us to the army.

But only I became a prince.

It’s clear His Majesty values your qualities.

My father gave me a chance at life.

He healed me

and educated me.

I was once told

that to remove a scar

one must endure agonizing pain.

Did it hurt?

Nothing hurts more than losing you.

At first

it was a little harsh.

But then I have a family.

After a few years,

I stop thinking about Wolf Hunt Mountain.

For my duty as Lord Bo,

I worked day and night to train myself and the troops.

I study to acquire knowledge.

I couldn’t bear

to just watch as the people are suffering from the war.

As Lord Bo, I must uphold justice.

It’s my duty to give shelter to those who have lost their homes.

From swords to ploughshares, I must do my best to help.

Whether you are Wolf Boy or Lord Bo,

your good natures have never left you.

You are loyal.

You’re loyal to me,

and you’re devoted to serve His Majesty.

For our engagement, you may have mistreated me

but it’s can’t be helped.

Keep giving me the cold shoulder and be mean to me if you want.

It’s my fault.

I misunderstood you.

I am glad you agreed with the engagement.

Otherwise

we would have missed each other in life.

I was always the one to make you sad.

I witnessed you fall from the cliff.

I regret it very much.

I had been thinking.

Had you not left the mountain with me,

none of this would have happened.

Perhaps I wouldn’t have lost you.

Do you still remember that shadow play?

Every time

Xing’er left Wolf Boy,

she would be worried

if the wolf would get hurt

or fall ill.

Xing’er wanted to ask

if the Little Wolf wished to be human

and be with her forever.

You still remember it?

Eight years ago,

the Little Wolf didn’t answer.

Eight years later,

the Little Wolf wants Xing’er to know

that he wishes to be with her

till the end of time.

With one of the stones gone,

the sound has become deeper.

Let’s return.

I’ll order all of my troops to hunt that man down.

We’ll retrieve the stone.

So this is how Wolf Boy reacts when he is jealous.

He does sound intimidating like Lord Bo.

Lord Bo and Her Highness will be happy

to see this when they come back.

Wen Yan! Hai Die!

Bad news.

His Majesty us here.

He is at the entrance.

Where is Lord Bo and Princess Ma?

Your Majesty, Lord Bo didn’t leave us any message when he left.

What is these?

Your Majesty.

These belonged to Her Highness.

She has always love a shadow play about story of wolf.

I misplaced them there.

I was about to remove them.

I hope Your Majesty understand.

The shadow play

was about a wolf?

What was the title?

It’s...

Wolf Boy and Xing’er.

Your Majesty.

Wolf Boy is being wronged.

Wolf Boy is innocent.

The culprit is someone else.

Xing’er? Do you mean Ma Zhai Xing?

So she and Lord Bo

have known each other for years.

I see now why she would risk everything to prove Wolf Boy’s innocence.

I always thought she did so for justice.

But these two have always been

keeping secret from me.

Your Majesty misunderstood.

Lord Bo never mentioned anything about his past.

Her Highness only found out today that Lord Bo

was the friend she’s been searching for.

She never meant to lie.

I had always thought

taking Lord Bo in as my own son was perhaps

the best decision in my entire life.

But I never thought

that Zhai Xing’s past with Lord Bo

has been kept a secret.

My son has grown up.

He must think he’s capable.

Just how many more secrets are you actually keeping from me?

Your Majesty, sorry.

Zhang Jin.

We’re leaving.

Goodbye, Your Majesty.

I couldn’t tell His Majesty the truth

because I knew he would be furious.

His Majesty is wise.

Of course he knows their connection.

What do we do now?

His Majesty is furious.

Would Her Highness and Lord Bo be punished?

We must inform our master now.

They need to be prepared before they return.

I’ll set out right away.

I’ll be headed for Kuizhou.

Why didn’t you sleep?

Was it because I was leaning on your arm

so you couldn’t fall asleep?

Ma Zhai Xing.

You slept so soundly leaning on my arm.

Do you even care if I couldn’t sleep?

Sorry.

Wolf Boy.

I have a sudden craving for candied hawthorns.

Let’s leave the mountainside.

What? You won’t come with me?

People in Kuizhou know us both.

It could cause disturbance.

Not to mention unease.

You have a point.

I have an idea.

Just like when we were kid, we can hide ourselves under the capes.

What do you think?
