Kill them.

Let's see whether the great naga

can take a bullet.

And my only desire

is to return the sapphire third eye to you.

Do you need company?

Do you want to tell me

what's bothering you?

I'm worried about Sun.

Don't worry.

Dr. Chat reported that Sun's condition is serious,

but the surgery was a success.

Sun is expected to wake up in a few days.

Thank you very much.

Are you still hurt that Sun deceived you?

Yes.

I didn't know the real him at all.

My trust in him

and our friendship…

have been shattered.

I don't even want to hear his name anymore.

But a part of you wants to forgive him.

I'm not mad at him.

But what he did

was far beyond what I could comprehend.

I'm sure Sun had his reasons.

You should know

how far someone would go

for their family.

Deep down, he didn't want to deceive you.

He had a choice to make.

Whatever you decide to do,

I just hope you make a decision you won't regret.

Why don't you consider

the kindness that Sun has shown you in the past

and weigh it against the mistake he made.

I think it should help.

Thank you so much

for keeping me grounded.

As I told you before,

you are not alone.

I will always be here for you.

I really mean it.

I will be waiting for your answer.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Don't cry.

Okay.

Hey.

How long will it take to renovate the temple

to the point

where it can be used for religious ceremonies again?

When I inspected it,

I saw that some parts are still stable.

However,

there are parts we need to rebuild.

The process could take a year

or maybe a few years.

It depends on the materials and labor.

I see.

No matter how long it takes,

we have to try our best to return it to its original condition.

The people of Viengphukhum have feared Lord Naga Trinetr's curse for some time.

Their fear will be replaced

by faith

if we let them worship him.

Yes, I agree.

Once the renovation is complete,

I will open the temple

to the public twice a year, so the people can worship Lord Naga Trinetr.

That's a good idea.

By granting them permission to enter twice a year,

they will visit the temple

only on special occasions.

It's a good idea.

That way, Lord Naga Trinetr won't be disturbed.

He will be able to observe the precepts diligently and peacefully.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

Queen Chanta would like you to join her in the library.

His Majesty and I

have agreed

that the painting of Princess Fuangphet

should go to you,

her descendent,

Laorchan.

We also found something hidden inside the painting.

It's her ring.

This is a letter from her.

"My dear Prince Peerapong,

before deciding to write this letter,

I spent a long time contemplating.

It took me a while to realize

that there are no secrets in this world.

The letter you wrote me,

asking about your parentage,

got me thinking that you might have seen the letter I wrote to Prince Siwilai.

I can't change what happened,

but I can face up to the truth

and apologize to you for keeping the truth from you.

I did it to protect you.

But since it has come to this,

I must tell you the truth.

Your suspicions

are right.

Prince Siwilai…

is not your real dad."

Don't be sad, Laor.

His Majesty and I

consider you

a member

of our family.

We must thank you once again

for sacrificing your strength

and your spirit for us.

You were willing to do anything

to return the sapphire

to Lord Naga Trinetr.

It was a crucial mission

for Viengphukhum.

The whole nation of Viengphukhum,

including our family,

owes you a great deal.

So don't be sad.

I'm not upset

that I'm not from the Phukhumwong bloodline.

I'm just glad I could fulfill my dad's wish.

He told many stories about Prince Siwilai.

I might not be related to him,

but he loved and showed my grandpa kindness.

Therefore,

I'm more than happy to repay his kindness.

I'm just sad

about Princess Fuangphet.

She didn't mention

who my biological great-grandpa was.

It's okay, Laor.

Even though she didn't mention him,

we will work together to find out who he was.

The letter contains enough evidence to lead us to the truth.

Also, my family has a lot of contacts.

It won't be hard to discover his identity.

I will help you.

Thank you so much.

Laor.

I'm heading back to Bangkok,

so I came to say goodbye.

Thank you for coming.

And thank you

for still thinking of this horrible person.

Sun.

You told me yourself

that everyone makes mistakes.

I also deceived people

to get what I wanted.

And I succeeded.

Consider yourself lucky

that you are no longer under someone's control.

You have the freedom

to think

and do whatever you want.

It depends on which path

you choose to take.

I'm alive today

because of Prince Anucha.

He saved my life.

He gave me a good life.

It was my duty to repay him,

and I did just that.

But being with the exploration team

allowed me to see life from another perspective.

One I've never seen

or known before.

Witnessing Prince Satarasamee

help his people in need

made me realize

that everything I've been taught since I was a child,

including social injustice,

the indifference,

and the king's abandonment of the people

were nothing

but rumors.

Thank you for the food you've shared with us.

The supplies you gave us will last months.

The famine in your village

requires immediate attention.

I'll send a doctor to give you health checkups a few times a year.

Who are you?

I am

a citizen here just like you.

I know what I have to do next.

Now that I think about it,

the money Prince Anucha used to pay for my tuition

came from taxes that the people paid.

Therefore,

after I have served my sentence for what I have done,

I will use all the knowledge I have

to improve the welfare of everyone in this country.

You have my support.

I will wait to see you succeed.

Thanks again, Laor.

Thank you for forgiving this friend of yours.

I may have lied to you about many things,

but I never lied about

my love for you.

I know,

and I can accept

that it won't work out between us.

But nonetheless,

I'm glad that we were once close,

and we were able to help one another.

You're wrong, Sun.

Our love

and friendship

will remain this way

forever.

Phu, thank you so much

for everything.

I hope you understand

that I hid my motives for the mission

from you

for Viengphukhum's sake.

I never meant to hurt your feelings.

I'm sorry about that.

Sat.

It's Satarasamee.

Don't worry about it. We've been through a lot together.

I thought about it,

and I understand

that you didn't have a choice.

It just goes to show

that people will do anything

for their loved ones.

I need to thank you too, Laor,

on behalf of everyone in Viengphukhum.

Thank you for your help.

And I apologize for what Veena did.

She was just following my orders.

Laor.

I'm sorry.

Our friendship may have started from a scheme,

but now I've got to know you,

I'm really glad to be your friend.

You will always be my best friend,

Tiny.

It's okay, Mee.

Dr. Chat didn't have to say a word.

We realized what was going on.

Let's just say,

you have to tell me first when you have good news.

I'll throw you a party at my hotel.

Fine.

Come here.

Don't be shy.

You should go.

Everyone's waiting for you.

Okay.

Let's go.

Shall we?

Thank you so much.

You live in Thailand,

but you show up

the moment our country needs help.

I have the blood of Viengphukhum running through me.

You couldn't possibly expect me to abandon the people.

I owe you my gratitude as well.

Don't say that.

It's me who owes you an apology

for leaving so soon.

We received news from Thailand

that Grandma Orn fell ill.

Please don't worry about

the temple renovation.

I'll draw up the plans and send them to you as soon as possible.

I hope

you find your family.

Let me repeat myself

that His Majesty and I consider you

a member of the Phukhumwong family,

regardless of whether or not you find your biological family.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Kan.

I will fly to Bangkok

to see you next week after my mission is complete.

You'd better.

If you postpone the flight, I'll cancel the wedding.

All right.

I'll accompany you to the airport,

then I'll cross the border to Nong Khai with Laorchan.

Please send Great-Grandma Orn our regards.

I must apologize

for not going to visit her myself.

It's all right. You have an appointment in Nong Khai.

My dad is taking care of her,

so you have nothing to worry about.

Shall we?

After you.

Are you sure

we will find documents from my great-grandparents' era here?

According to Princess Fuangphet's letter,

she met your great-grandpa here.

Therefore,

the story most likely began in Nong Khai, Princess Fuangphet's hometown.

My mom contacted Deputy Boonkerd

for assistance in searching for the documents.

I first met your dad

when he was granted royal consent to accompany Prince Prajaksilpakom,

who held the position

of Grand Lord of Udon Thani County in Nong Khai,

so he could search for his missing sister.

He saved me from bandits who threatened my life and property.

I then reciprocated by volunteering to search for his missing sister.

Little did I know

that the mutual assistance would lead

to complications in the future.

Laor.

Laor.

Hello, Mr. Phuthaneth.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Please come inside. -Thank you.

Here's the file

containing a list of government officials who accompanied Prince Prajaksilpakom,

the Grand Lord of Udon Thani County,

from the year 1909.

I instructed my subordinates to gather all the documents they could.

That year,

His Highness went back

to report to His Majesty the King at the Royal Palace,

and returned accompanied by a team of ten aides.

Their names are listed in the file.

Thank you very much.

Were all ten of them

employed here as government officials?

No.

Only seven of them were.

The remaining three officers

accompanied His Highness for different reasons.

May I know these three officers' names?

The first officer was Khun In Ratchasunthorn.

The second officer was Wisut Setthaseni.

The third officer's name

was Chak, last name unknown.

Do you know the purpose of their visit?

No.

I only know that Khun In Ratchasunthorn

fell in love with the daughter of a high-ranking official,

who was from a family of renowned local jewelers.

A family of jewelers?

Yes.

Fuangphet's family were royal jewelers.

-Hello. -Hello.

Let me know if you need anything.

Okay, thank you.

Are you here

about Princess Fuangphet?

Yes.

I had been in an accident in Phra Nakhon

at the time Princess Fuangphet left

to marry Prince Siwilai.

I was hospitalized

for many months.

For that reason, I couldn't follow her

to Viengphukhum.

I understand.

It's enough for me

just to hear

your recollections about this.

After I was discharged,

I heard that

she was pregnant with Prince Peerapong.

Did you keep in touch with her?

Yes.

When she

brought her son

to visit her dad in Thailand,

my mom brought the boy

to my house to play.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to meet him.

Back then,

I was studying abroad.

Princess Fuangphet's path and mine never seemed to cross.

However,

I still miss her

and think of her all the time.

Perhaps it's because fate dictated that you follow different paths.

I understand your side of the story.

I'm just wondering

why you didn't reply

to any of her letters.

Her letters?

I replied to every single letter.

Most of the time,

she wouldn't write

letters to me.

She would address the letters to Sabaithip,

my wife,

because those two

were best friends.

They were childhood friends.

Wait.

Are you saying

you were not

in a romantic relationship with Princess Fuangphet?

It's okay, Laor.

It may not be him, but you still have two more candidates.

Who are these two candidates?

The first one is Wisut Setthaseni.

The second one is Chak.

His last name is unknown.

Setthaseni?

That name sounds familiar.

It's the name of an ambassador.

Ambassador Wichai Setthaseni, who is currently stationed in Italy.

Saruj, Dad.

Yes.

I'm going to call him.

That's a good idea.

Hello, Saruj.

Are you free to talk?

Hello, Uncle Chai Lek.

Hello.

Hello, Auntie Sroi.

Hello.

Hello, Saruj.

It has been a while. How have you been?

Laorchan, this is M.L. Saruj Jutathep,

secretary to the Thai ambassador in Switzerland.

This is Laorchan, my secretary.

Hello.

Hello, it's nice to meet you, Laor.

Poom and Chat told me

you are beautiful and smart.

Most importantly, you keep this guy in check.

We finally meet.

Stop talking. Go sit.

-Sit here. -Come here.

Laor, he knows all about the diplomatic services.

Saruj, do you know anyone in the Setthaseni family?

Of course.

Warat Setthaseni.

He's a friend of mine.

Is there something I can help you with?

That's right. My great-grandpa, Wisut, went looking for his sister in Nong Khai.

At that time, my great-great-grandma was very sick and she missed her daughter.

So she asked Wisut to go and bring his sister home.

How long was he in Nong Khai for?

Well, it was a long time before he found his sister

at Phra Boribanphuthorn's residence.

That's Princess Fuangphet's dad.

That's right.

My great-grandpa said she was a princess from Viengphukhum.

Do you know her?

Yes.

She's my great-grandma.

What a small world.

My great-grandpa always talked fondly of her.

He said she was extremely generous.

When she heard he was looking for his sister,

she offered to help and found out that she was working as a clerk.

Once he found his sister,

did he take her home right away?

Yes.

But their mom died days after their return.

After that, he never returned to Nong Khai again.

He wanted to

because he loved it there.

He planned to settle down there.

Why didn't he go back?

His sister who went missing, Vilai,

fell ill with pneumonia

and died not long after their mom.

Princess Fuangphet and Prince Siwilai

even attended their funerals.

It was a great honor for our family.

Does this mean Princess Fuangphet and Prince Siwilai were already married

when Wisut went to Nong Khai?

Yes, my great-grandpa was so close to Prince Siwilai

that he considered him a brother.

My family used to visit Princess Fuangphet in Nong Khai every year

up until she died.

We lost touch with the family

after they moved to France.

Fortunately, I still have some photos.

Who is this?

This is Wisut.

This is Khun In.

Let me see.

May I take it out?

"Wisut Setthaseni."

"Chak."

No surname though.

"Khun In Ratchasunthorn."

So this is what Chak looks like.

May I borrow these photos for a few days?

Sure, no problem.

Thank you.

These photos are 70 to 80 years old.

His face looks familiar,

but I can't think of who he resembles.

Sroi, take a look.

Well.

If we had his last name,

we would have something to look into.

But it only says "Chak" here.

And we only know

that he was looking for his sister in Nong Khai.

How do we continue the search?

I know someone who can help us.

-Poom. -Poom.

Listen.

I don't usually believe

in these kinds of things.

However,

Poom just stopped by to have tea with me

on his way to visit Great-Grandma Orn.

I assume he's at her residence right now.

That's perfect. I'll take Laorchan to visit her too.

I've been wanting to visit her as well.

Please take some banana cake

to Great-Grandma Orn for me.

Jaew.

Is Poom inside with Great-Grandma Orn?

He just left.

I just helped him load his car.

He had to hurry off.

Where's Great-Grandma Orn?

She's in the living room. Please follow me.

This way.

Great-Grandma Orn, my mom baked banana cake for you.

Thank you. Jaew, take it, please.

Allow me.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

-Hello. -Hello.

It's good to see you.

We took Laorchan to see Saruj's friend.

She's looking for her family.

I see. How is it going?

We only have photos.

Is that so? Let me see.

Here.

-What photos? -Here.

Who are these people?

TAKEN ON

Oh, no.

The ancestors of the Dhevaprom family

must hold a grudge against us

for breaking the promise.

That's why Mr. Chakkarin has returned to claim the promise.

Please forgive us.

Who were you talking about just now?

Mr. Chakkarin?

Him.

This man in the photo

is Prince Chakkarin,

the dad of M.R. Dhevapan,

the founding dad of the Dhevaprom family.

It was the biggest scandal

in Phra Nakhon back then.

Can you tell us about it?

Mr. Chakkarin

had to go after his sister, Ms. Jaithip,

who had run away

with a royal musician

to Nong Khai.

Ma'am.

Did he manage to find her?

Apparently not.

But he spent months in Nong Khai

searching for her until he heard a rumor

that she had fled to Korat.

He went to search for her in Korat

where he caught malaria.

Due to the illness, his dad sent people

to bring him home to be treated.

Did he ever see his sister again?

To this day,

nobody knows where she went.

He might have found her

had he lived longer.

Unfortunately, he passed away

at the age of 35.

What happened to him?

Was it a serious illness that killed him?

No.

He had reason to return to Nong Khai.

Unfortunately,

he got in a car accident

in Saraburi on his way to Nong Khai.

He was seriously injured.

He was brought back to Phra Nakhon for treatment.

I remember it clearly

because I visited him for two weeks at the hospital

before he passed away.

Why are you asking about him?

Is everything all right?

Well.

There's a chance

that he could be Laorchan's great-grandpa.

Sleep in here tonight. Get a good night's sleep.

We'll figure out

what to say to the Dhevaproms tomorrow.

What's with the face?

Aren't you happy to find out who your great-grandpa was?

I am happy to know

that he might be my great-grandpa.

I'm just worried that the Dhevaprom family

won't accept me once they find out about this.

You'll find out tomorrow.

You have my support.

We'll see what they have to say.

Laor.

No one would turn their back

on a dignified, competent,

grateful,

and beautiful woman.

So you don't have to worry about them not accepting you.

Thank you so much.

You always cheer me up.

Sleep tight.

Come on, Phu. Let her rest.

Phu,

you will have plenty of time to stare at each other.

Come on. It's time to go.

All right.

Your dad and I had a secret relationship.

We went against tradition,

but we were in love.

I admit that the nearly one month I spent with your dad

brought me immense happiness.

Soon after,

news came that his sister had been spotted in Korat,

so he went there,

promising to return to me.

I waited for him for two months, but he never returned.

Later, I found out

that your grandpa offered me to Prince Siwilai

to establish ties between them.

I couldn't refuse the marriage.

I was sent to Viengphukhum along with a child in my womb.

I confessed the truth to Prince Siwilai as soon as I arrived.

Instead of getting angry,

he was understanding.

Unexpectedly, he loved and cherished me even more.

Please stop asking me

about the identity of your real dad.

I sent him three letters

but received no response.

I even went looking for him in Phra Nakhon myself

with you in my womb.

That was when I discovered the truth.

I had no choice but to endure the pain.

Please consider

Prince Siwilai as the only loving dad

in your life.

Prince Peerapong Phukhumwong,

you are dearly loved by Prince Siwilai.

Did he have the accident

on his way back to see her in Nong Khai?

My mom baked you a fruit cake.

Thank you

for still thinking of this old man.

You are welcome.

Come on, sit with me. Get up.

Thank you.

Do you live alone?

Yes.

Waew is also here to take care of me.

Ked has a family now. She moved out decades ago.

As for Maratee

and

Vilairumpa…

I don't know where they are.

They do not

contact me anymore.

Anyway,

aren't you

Chai Lek's eldest child?

Yes, my name is Phuthaneth.

I have one younger sister named Kanthika.

This is Laorchan, my secretary.

I see.

Hello.

Is there a reason you came to see me,

other than to bring me this cake?

I have a question for you.

Did your dad have a younger sister?

Why do you ask?

Was her name Jaithip?

How do you know?

She disappeared from the palace

so Mr. Chakkarin went to look for her

in Nong Khai, right?

Where did you get that information?

Who told you that story?

What do you want? What brings you here?

Well, there's a small chance

that we are related.

What do you mean?

Are you saying

you are related to Aunt Jaithip?

Who are you?

Phu.

Who is this woman?

I don't consider

someone who ran away with a man

and then left her family humiliated

a member of my family.

Phu.

Get this woman out of my house. She isn't welcome here.

I'm not saying

-I'm-- -What are you doing here?

Oh, no.

Grandpa, what's wrong?

What happened, Uncle?

Phu, why did you bring her here?

What happened?

This woman

is claiming

to be a descendant

of Aunt Jaithip.

How dare you make up a story about being a Dhevaprom.

She's not making it up.

There's a possibility.

Get…

Get out!

Don't come back again.

This family

has been through enough already.

She vanished decades ago.

Why are you reopening old wounds?

Get out!

Get out!

Oh no. Mom.

EMERGENCY

Please wait outside.

EMERGENCY

You'll have to pay for his hospital bills.

He wound up in here because of your stupid story.

I'll take care of it.

Your silly joke sent an old man into shock.

What would you do if something happened to him?

Would you still want to be a Dhevaprom?

Nuch, what happened?

What caused him to go into shock?

I'll tell you what.

A strange woman

suddenly showed up and claimed to be a Dhevaprom.

STAFF ONLY

Doctor, how is my dad doing?

He's experiencing chest pain

caused by acute coronary syndrome. I've given him medicine.

We will wait for the patient's heart rate and blood oxygen levels to normalize

before considering moving him to a recovery room.

We'll need to monitor him for a couple of nights.

I see.

-I have to go. -Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Who will stay with the patient tonight?

Me.

-Okay, please sign a form inside. -Sure.

Oh, my goodness.

What a shame.

If she didn't have an interview with a magazine today,

she would gladly offer

to stay with her grandpa.

Isn't that right?

Yes, Aunt Ked.

Oh, no. It's almost time, Mom.

We should go or we will be late.

-Let's leave then. -Yes. Please excuse us.

-See you later. -Thank you.

Goodbye.

I'm going

to check on Grandpa…

I mean, my dad.

Do you want me to tell Mr. Chinnakorn and Chavit that you are here?

That won't be necessary. Mr. Chinnakorn is in Hong Kong

exploring the gold market with our children.

So it's just me. I have to go.

Goodbye.

-Ma'am. -Ma'am.

Hey, Phu.

Why are you home so late?

Where's Laor?

She's with Mr. Dhevapan at the hospital.

Has Ked been informed?

Yes.

She met us at the hospital but she fainted. She was fatigued.

I believe she's receiving IV fluids in a room next to her dad's.

Hold on.

What caused Mr. Dhevapan to be hospitalized?

Mr. Dhevapan.

Mr. Dhevapan.

Mr. Dhevapan, what's wrong?

Mr. Dhevapan.

Nurse.

Come quickly.

Mr. Dhevapan.

Mr. Dhevapan.

Mr. Dhevapan, what's wrong?

You might disagree with what I'm doing

but

I really need your support right now.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Dhevapan had an episode.

A nurse is taking care of him.

You look very concerned by this.

I don't know

if I'm really a Dhevaprom.

But if I am,

I'm worried that…

they won't accept me.

Is being a Dhevaprom

that important to you?

Yes.

Throughout my life, I have had to change

my surname continuously,

from Phukhumwong to Pundheva,

because my grandpa

was a political refugee.

I even had to change my surname

while I was in France

to Beaumont.

I couldn't let paparazzi and reporters find out

that I was related to Audrey Roufier.

Audrey Roufier?

The French actress?

How are you related to her?

She's my mom.

You're Audrey Roufier's daughter?

Yes.

My mom came to shoot a movie in Thailand.

My dad was the producer.

They fell in love

and I was born.

However,

my mom couldn't let anyone find out.

She had to live in hiding in Bangkok

during her pregnancy.

She took me back to France after I was born.

Do you see her often?

Occasionally.

But our encounters

are almost meaningless.

I lived in the same country as my mom,

but I barely had an opportunity

to talk to her.

Audrey.

Please!

How is the shooting going?

Have a good day.

I'll take your picture.

The only opportunity I had to meet my mom

was when someone picked me up

-and drove me to her house. -You look pretty.

-Do you like it? -Yes.

All done.

Mom, can you teach me to walk like a model?

Of course.

But as you can probably guess,

my happiness

never lasted long.

Good job.

It's time to go.

I have to go to work.

Okay.

Can you give me a little something?

I'm leaving now.

-Bye. -Bye.

As time passed,

I saw her less and less.

The only thing I could do

that no one could blame me for

was to send letters and postcards

to my mom.

It was to let her know

that I was thinking of her.

I know how you must be feeling, Laorchan.

Have you ever been mad at your parents?

Never.

I just didn't understand.

As a kid, I used to question

why I didn't have the things

other kids had.

As I grew up,

I realized

that everyone has their reasons for what they do.

I had the opportunity to care for my dad until his last breath.

I had the opportunity to meet my mom

and talk to her.

I couldn't have asked for more.

It's better than not meeting them at all.

But sometimes, I get tired.

Tired of having to discover my background continuously…

much like I am right now.

Don't worry.

From now on,

you won't be alone anymore.

Whether or not you are a Dhevaprom,

or whether or not they welcome you into the family,

I will always be here for you.

You really want people to believe

that you are related to Jaithip, don't you?

I'm here as Fuangphet's great-granddaughter.

How dare you invent a relationship between my dad and your great-grandma.

Why don't you finish the letter?
