[Episode 11]

This bowl of beef broth was braised on low heat.

I stayed up last night to fan the fire.

It was braised for six hours.

As long as you tell me that you no longer miss her...

I'll feed it to you.

Take it away.

Yin Rong's son landed you in such a state.

Yet, Your Majesty, you still miss Yin Rong.

Sheng...

I...

I don't blame him.

Sheng is the most intelligent

of all my sons.

He Ge...

He's way... beneath him.

You just won't do as I wish, will you?

You just want to provoke me, don't you?

Wench.

Wench?

Who did you call a wench?

I'm a wench?

She robbed me of my love, my husband!

She is the wench!

Stay here and think of her all you want.

When you think of her...

I won't pleased to watch you do so.

I'll come here again tomorrow at this hour.

I'll be away for a day...

I wonder if you'll think of me.

Without my permission, no one is allowed to bring meals to His Majesty.

All the more, you're not to disturb him.

His Majesty is to stay here and think about who really harmed him.

And who...

Who was away when he was supposed to be there to save him?

Wu Ru Yi.

Present.

Lock the door.

Yes.

- Father. - Father.

The competition for the heir apparent will soon begin.

Command Yu Xin Ji to take good care of Prince Sheng.

Yes.

Father!

Father.

You sound so hesitant.

What is the matter?

I've found an occultist.

I had him take a look at those bizarre ashes next to Nanku De's body.

We might be able to find out who killed Nanku De.

This shall clear the Muru family of the false allegation!

An occultist?

Han!

The ancestral code of the Muru family forbids us to ever use magical power.

How dare you still bring it up?

Even if Father punishes me, I insist on saying it!

Not another word!

You are to drive away that occultist immediately.

From this moment onward...

you'll kneel before the tomb of our ancestor, Tian Tong.

You're not to get up until I allow it!

Everyone in the royal court can't wait to see the Muru family fall!

Father, can't you tell?

If magical powers can allow us to hold our ground

and have us win this battle, why can't we use them?

Muru Han Shan...

From the moment you wield a blade to kill

you should know that you will also die under a blade!

These are the last teachings of our ancestor, Tian Tong!

You!

Kneel right here!

Recite it!

The ancestral code of Tian Tong.

From the moment you wield a blade to kill--

Louder.

You should know!

You will also die under a blade!

Louder!

The ancestral code of Tian Tong!

From the moment you wield a blade to kill!

You should know!

You will also die under a blade!

The ancestral code of Tian Tong!

From the moment you wield a blade to kill!

You should know!

You will also die under a blade!

Prince De.

Mister Mo.

You've been wandering around for days.

Did you get to meet Muyun Sheng?

Tian Qi City really is a great place to do business.

The shop owners are all a bit too chatty.

It's so easy to attain any information.

You've only attained some information?

Muyun Sheng truly is a freak.

He never leaves his residence apart from going to the palace.

He refuses to meet men.

He lives in Weiping Residence.

There's a battalion of soldiers guarding his place.

That's all you found out.

Does this even need to take you a few days?

I also know what he likes.

I had my Uncle Ping send something from the valley.

It has finally arrived.

Will you come with me today?

You'll go there alone.

What should I do when I see him?

Ask him a question.

What is this?

Exactly.

That's how you should ask him.

See if he has an answer to that.

What is this?

A young gentleman is waiting outside.

He said that it's a gift for you.

You accepted it?

I shouldn't have accepted it.

But I saw that he seemed to resemble Your Highness in some way.

Your Highness has never had a friend.

So I...

Has the gentleman left?

Invite him in.

Yes.

Please.

Your Highness, do you like it?

Where did you get the paper?

At the peak of Thunder Eye Mountain in Wan Prefecture

there was once an anonymous village.

It was said that hundreds of years ago

since the former Great Cheng Dynasty

they started using water from this village to craft paper.

As that water originated from Thunder Eye Mountain

and it flows past mineral ores

the paper crafted with it produces a peculiar effect.

It's thin, but strong.

It's slightly yellowish, and glitters of gold.

With ink-color paintings, the colors can overlap for layers without smudging.

The paintings can then remain well kept for years.

Its colors will remain just as radiant as they were hundreds of years ago.

This paper was sold at the price of gold.

The villagers worked day and night out of their greed for money.

That spring water eventually dried up.

The villagers lost their livelihood since then.

They could no longer live at the peak of the mountain.

Therefore, they gradually left the mountain to make a living.

As time went by

no one knew where that anonymous village once was.

Since then...

this paper was lost to the world.

How did you get it, then?

I'm fond of calligraphy.

My uncle actually managed to find that spring water for me.

It's just that the water comes and goes.

Not much paper can be produced each year.

Therefore...

It has only been provided to me.

However, if Your Highness is fond of it...

the paper is yours when I get mine.

You brought me a gift.

You must be after something.

What is it that you want?

I'd like Your Highness to answer a question of mine.

This is my question.

Should Your Highness have an answer, please come to me.

I'm staying at Novoland Inn.

I won't impose on you any further.

I take my leave.

Interesting.

Which is heavier, a stone or a feather?

Good question.

Interesting.

Who are you?

[Pan Xi]

What are you doing here?

You can see me?

I can.

You can hear me?

I can.

What was I saying just now?

You said, "Which is heavier, a stone or a feather?"

It's you.

It's me?

The person I keep seeing in the glass bead is you.

No one else can see you.

Only I can see you.

They all said that I have been hallucinating.

You actually do exist.

No, I don't exist.

Your Highness!

The glass bead is gone!

Your Highness, the glass bead is gone!

If Muyun Sheng has an answer to that

what should I do then?

It's coded in the form of the Nine Deficient Scepter Algorithm

as stated in the "Book of the Charmers."

If he can decode that...

it proves he has met that woman with the "Book of the Charmers."

What then?

Then?

We'll definitely have to find out where that woman is now.

Prince De.

Prince Ning Rui, Muyun Sheng, asks to see you.

- Send him in. - Yes.

Here I am.

Your Highness.

Please come in.

Something's weird about your room.

How is it weird?

There's a familiar aura.

Your Highness, please have a seat.

- Have some tea first? - Sure.

Your Highness, you've found an answer?

How embarrassing. I don't have an answer.

I only know the question that you asked me.

Which is heavier, a stone or a feather?

Am I right?

What a weird question.

Wasn't that your question for me?

How did you figure the question out?

Where did you get this question from?

Why would you ask me such a question?

It was my mentor who told me.

He drew that himself.

Then he told me to bring that to you.

You'd then be interested in me.

You do have an ulterior motive.

Why do you want to approach me?

I just wanted to get acquainted with you.

Why would you want to do so?

Who exactly are you?

I am Muyun De.

Arch Prince Ye's second son.

My father has never liked me since I was born.

He had me sent away into the valley for four years.

He's only let me out now.

Then he made me come to Tian Qi City.

I don't have any friends around my age.

Nor do I know how to interact with anyone.

Although I wished to befriend you

I was worried that you'd turn me down.

So I made some effort.

I might be the head of Wan Prefecture's Chamber of Commerce

and seem to own all the riches in the world

but deep down, I feel quite...

lonely.

You remind me of someone.

Who is it?

My very first friend.

I'm Han Jiang. Who are you?

Muyun Sheng.

I'll protect you from now on.

He taught me what it means to be friends.

I wonder how he's doing now.

I'll show you something.

What is this?

This is a glass bead that my mother left me.

Look to see what's inside it.

There's...

There's a woman.

You can also see her?

But she hasn't turned around.

Why can you see her as well?

I've asked everyone around me and no one could see her.

Who is she?

I don't know who she is either.

She was the one who told me what your question was.

Prince De.

Who is he?

Your Highness.

This is my mentor.

I seem to have met you somewhere.

Is that so?

Prince Sheng, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I might have been mistaken.

Your Highness.

This glass bead...

Could I have a look at it?

Thank you, Your Highness.

There is indeed a woman in it.

Mentor, you can see her as well?

Yes.

For a long time, I haven't been able to speak to her.

Yesterday, I suddenly could.

But she disappeared abruptly.

Do you know how I can find her again?

Your Highness, what were you thinking the moment she disappeared?

Whenever I see her, I think of a terrifying matter.

Your Highness, it's your inner demon.

If you could ask where she comes from

I might be able to have her stay by your side.

Stay by my side?

Who exactly is she?

I can't be sure of it yet.

What I can now perceive from this is that she definitely has magical powers.

I don't need magical powers.

Never, ever.

Apart from causing injuries to others

magical powers can also fulfill the wishes of many.

They can also save people from danger!

Nonsense!

Everything always comes with a price.

If magical powers are used to help someone

another person is bound to suffer some loss.

I'll take my leave.

Your Highness.

Take care, Prince Sheng.

Did you really see that woman in the glass bead?

I didn't see anything in it.

What about you?

Did you really see her?

I did.

It seems that she really is in the glass bead.

Could it be...

only Muyun's descendants can do it?

What did you say?

Nothing.

Mentor, why are you helping Muyun Sheng?

I'm helping you.

Really?

Of--

What did you put in my tea?

Mentor, what exactly is so bizarre about that bead?

The woman in the glass bead.

She's a key!

What is the key for?

It's the key to win the world!

You taught that algorithm to Muyun Sheng

so that he could interact with that woman.

Why didn't you teach me?

You're human. Not a Charmer!

Humans can't learn it?

Aren't you also human?

You can learn it...

This algorithm...

With your talent, you can understand it in a year.

You can wield its power in eight years.

Are you that patient?

You're quite tough.

That Dark Wings poison of yours...

It's quite tough as well.

It suits me just fine!

You can't kill me!

You work for my father!

Listen up!

I don't belong to anyone!

We just happen to share a common interest!

I was wrong!

Now, can we trust each other?

- Yes... - Can we?

- Yes! - Can we?

Actually...

I quite like you.

Compared to your father, I also prefer you.

How am I better than my father?

You're even bolder than him.

Get yourself under control first!

Stop taking unnecessary actions.

Fine.

I want that woman in the glass bead.

As long as Muyun Sheng summons her out of it...

she is yours to take.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, look. Prince Sheng resembles Consort Yin Rong, in a way.

Your Majesty's birthday is around the corner.

If you still don't eat anything and starve yourself sick

you won't see your sons when they visit you.

Isn't that such a pity?

Your Majesty, will you eat it or not?

What did you say, Your Majesty?

I'll eat.

Your Majesty has some other woman on your mind.

I keep brooding over that and feel extremely jealous.

How I wish...

Empress, are you going to kill the emperor?

What a serious accusation.

I wonder who landed His Majesty in this predicament.

Your Majesty is thinking about Consort Yin Rong.

Is it better to live on?

Or is it better to die and meet up with her?

You refuse to answer?

Forget it then.

Don't...

Your Majesty, what did you say?

Don't...

want to...

What don't you want?

I don't want to...

think of her.

Who don't you want to think about?

I don't...

want to think of...

Yin... Rong.

Love of a lifetime?

At this moment, she means nothing more than a bowl of beef broth.

Muyun Sheng, did you see that?

This is the human mind.

Empress, you have such a vicious heart.

You'd torment someone you love to this extent.

Never will you ever be happy again.

So what?

Charmers like you can do nothing more than cause harm to others!

Sooner or later...

you will be hated.

Abandoned.

Forgotten.

Mentor.

Prince Sheng has arrived.

Your Highness.

Do rise.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Can't I touch it?

Your Highness, the astrolabe records the movement of celestial bodies.

It can only be operated by the force of the movements.

If it's shifted by men, the calibration will be inaccurate.

Doesn't that change the outcome?

That will only...

prevent the truth from ever being known.

What exactly are magical powers?

When you have sufficient spiritual energy

you'll be able to correspond with the celestial bodies.

You'll receive power from the fragments left of the God of Ruins.

After an intricate calculation

make use of such an energy force to perform impossible acts

that no man can do.

Ordinary people find it extremely mysterious.

Hence, they call them magical powers.

In fact, this force has always existed.

It's just that some can sense it...

and some can't.

I was born to perceive it?

Your Highness's host star...

It's this Yufei Star.

Yufei's force lies in conflicts.

Zeal.

And ambition.

Your Highness...

The more you wish to sense the force of the stars

the more likely your temperament is to be affected.

I don't believe in it.

Novoland is huge.

Why would everyone's destiny lie upon mine?

What could convince Your Highness?

I want to cure my father.

Injuries caused by magical powers can only be undone by using them.

The palace has recruited occultists across Novoland.

However, none of them could figure out what struck His Majesty.

There is no cure.

Don't forget.

I am half a Charmer.

Magical powers...

They stem from amazing algorithms.

They're not something you're born with.

I can learn.

Your Highness, do you think that after curing His Majesty

you can change destiny?

How would you know unless you've tried?
