Original subtitles

Pansaeng is surely facing illness from amoria bloom.

He shall die without our effort.

How long shall it be?

Master! Please come out and help me!

Perhaps we should visit Noi's grandmother.

Does the house spirit follow you, My Lady?

Saiyud! Do not scare me.

Aon. What was that?

I do not know, My Lady.

- Hey! - Sir, why are you here?

Did you secretly board the boat with us?

I would never betray you, Khun Saengplarn.

I shall take a walk.

Do not follow me.

Sir.

Your breakfast, sir. Do you wish to have it now?

Yes. Thank you.

Sir.

About me and Saiyud…

If you do not believe me,

- I-- - Oh, no, no.

- I believe you. - You do, sir?

I do, completely.

You have found one, have you not?

The gentle soul who cares for both your body and mind.

Yes, My Lady.

I have witnessed the pain you went through while serving Chai.

Now, I am relieved.

Someone as kind as you shall have Aon to depend on.

I am most rejoiced.

We are still in trouble, My Lady.

I beg you and Khun Saengplarn to keep this a secret.

If Muen Vorachai knows, he will surely kill Aon.

Does that mean the two of you must be together in secret?

We shall love each other for the sake of love. That is enough.

Our lives together

are in the hands of destiny.

Did Aon give it to you?

Yes.

Can I see?

Is it pretty, My Lady?

You could not stop touching it.

I shall report this to Khun Saengplarn.

Yes.

Shall we go?

The family went around asking in all the villages

from Ayothaya to Ban Khoktum, and nobody had gotten sick or died lately.

So, we have not found Noi?

Khun Saengplarn, sir.

With your magic, could you please help us?

What do you wish for me to help with?

It has been ten days. Noi

must have been dead.

We have accepted it,

but we wish to find her body and make merit for her

to send her to the peaceful realm.

Did Muen Vorachai not send soldiers from Ayothaya to look for her?

We are not asking for soldiers, sir.

We’re asking for your help to call Noi’s spirit and ask

how she died and where her body is.

Call Noi's spirit? That is it.

The power of your magic is immense. Please help us.

Dear. Could you actually do it?

The spell for calling spirits does exist,

yet my school strictly forbids it. It's considered a sin.

The dead are travelling to the next realm. Calling them to us may confuse them

and cause them to be stuck in this realm, unable to move on.

Noi.

- Noi. - Dear.

Fine.

We shall try once.

Let’s simply focus all our thoughts and love on Noi.

If her spirit is still roaming and has enough strength to come to us,

we shall know the truth.

You have my thanks, sir. We are deeply grateful.

Repeat my words.

May Buddha aid us.

- May Buddha aid us. - May Buddha aid us.

- May Dharma aid us. - May Dharma aid us.

- May Sangha aid us. - May Sangha aid us.

If the spirit of Noi remains unbound,

we ask that you appear before us

to guide us. Let the unseen

be seen.

Let the unknown be known. Let the concealed be brought to light.

- Is she truly here? - It is fine.

Noi. Noi. Where are you?

Do not leave me by myself.

Where are you going, Noi?!

Noi.

Do not leave me.

I did not see or hear anything.

Noi.

Are you wandering around here, Noi?

Noi. Who did this to you?

Come out and tell us.

It is possible that her spirit has found rest.

The fact that she did not hold on might also be a blessing.

During this time,

keep praying and making merit.

Let the good deeds ease your sorrow.

That way, Noi shall have no worries.

My apologies, sir. Victory is mine!

- Darn it. - Let us start again.

Let the unseen be seen.

Let the unknown be known.

Let the concealed be brought to light!

What is it, sir?

As you served me in life,

so shall you serve me in death! I am not afraid of you!

Noi! Noi!

Noi!

Get off me… Noi!

This young lady was born with tremendous potential.

When she was born, did you dream anything unusual or experience anything strange?

We did. Her father was promoted then.

I have met with many fortune tellers. Every single one of them stated

that this child would bring prosperity to her parents.

Might you be interested in an empowerment ritual with me?

Spend a few nights here to pray and receive blessings.

Certainly, Master. She will.

What shall happen after the ritual?

She shall bring even more wealth and honor to your family.

Look, My Lady. This place is crowded.

As of late, people inside and outside the palace are speaking of nothing

but the magical power of Master Saenkam.

How could an ordinary tree turn into a magical tree?

But many have confirmed its potency, My Lady.

All of them had their wishes granted. Please give it a try.

It shall help with Khun Saengplarn.

The two of you, how may I be of service?

My Lady,

you were born with strong spiritual power and merit.

Do you wish to commence an empowerment ritual with me?

You only need to pray with me for two nights.

Perhaps not. I only wish for a love charm.

You have someone you desire.

What is the name of that nobleman or wealthy merchant?

- Can I keep it to myself? - For someone such as you,

might I suggest the magical plant?

Normally, Master would give only the leaves. But for a special lady,

he shall give the entire plant for you to worship.

But it requires a sacrifice.

- Is that blood? - Chicken's blood.

Boil these leaves and give that tea to your intended to drink for a few days.

He shall think of nothing

but you and could not even eat or sleep.

It is best to sacrifice with the blood of a pregnant woman.

The magic shall be most effective, and he shall madly

beg to be with you.

This is madness. Who would kill a person for this?

Even if a servant's life were sacrificed,

none would dare hold the daughter of a noble such as yourself accountable.

Many have their wish granted.

You can ask around if you do not believe me.

Is that not Muen Vorachai? Why is he here?

The spirit of Noi haunted you? Did she appear before you?!

No, Master. But I have been

dreaming about being suffocated by her for many nights now!

Then it is all in your head. No need to be afraid!

But I have not slept for four nights.

Look at my face! I can no longer take this, Master!

You think too much about a mere servant. She is dead and should not concern you!

But she became a ghost!

Whatever. I must have amulets to shield myself from her.

I cannot tolerate this anymore, Master! Please!

Fine. I shall give you one.

You need not fear.

What is this area called?

Wat Heeplat cemetery, sir.

Are you truly not planning to use this plant, My Lady?

Look at this, My Lord.

He does not even respect us.

My sister’s honor has been tarnished.

What are you talking about, brother?

How do you wish to hold him responsible?

He must hold a wedding ceremony

to restore my sister's honor, My Lord.

- Wedding? - We cannot let that wedding happen.

That was a reasonable request.

Do not say that, my dear.

I have disrespected your honor,

all out of love for you.

Khun Saengplarn and Lady Chavala were not said to be in love.

Only Muen Vorachai alone was trying to force the marriage upon them.

What is it you are thinking about, My Lady?

Pao. Send someone to look in Muen Vorachai's house.

What is it we are looking for?

Find out if someone has died in that house.

Noi must truly be dead, My Lady.

My life comes to an end.

Jerm. Do not do this.

You must have some food and take your medicine. Please.

My Lady.

For seven years of marriage, we have remained childless.

Then, we were able to have one.

I have stopped drinking since that day.

I intended to be a good father.

I could do it. For eight months,

I have not touched any liquor.

Where love takes root,

miracles blossom.

Yes, My Lady.

I did not believe I could do it.

But then Noi had to die.

Both the mother and the child are gone.

After this meal, I shall return to the camp right away.

Very well.

What is it?

Hey!

Are you teasing me?

What? You said that you never saw me laugh when I am around you.

So, I showed you.

What is wrong with you? You were sad about Noi only a while ago.

Well,

I saw Aon splash a pot of tea towards you, and I truly wanted to try as well.

Fine.

- It is my turn now. - Dear.

Come here.

What is it you are doing?

What happened to Noi and Jerm showed me

how little time we truly have.

Hm.

Jerm could not eat or sleep.

He suffers because of love.

And that of Aon and Saiyud.

These two fare no better.

Love that has no hope of a future

shall be a lifelong agony for them.

They have made me realize

that fate is indeed cruel.

It can confine us as servants of all kinds.

It confines you

as a good disciple who would never betray your master's teachings.

Our bodies may be confined for any reason,

yet our hearts shall always be free.

We can hold anyone in our hearts.

Hold anyone in our hearts?

What are you trying to say?

We shall love

for the sake of love.

That is enough.

Our lives together

are in the hands of destiny.

I should return to the camp.

Dear.

Could you wait for me?

Let us take some time to enjoy these flowers together.

This is the only season of the year

when these trees are in full bloom.

It is like my dream.

If you only walk past them,

you will have missed your chance when they have all fallen.

If you keep stopping for the flowers, what of the goals in your life?

My goal is to avenge my parents and my sister

and save those who are wronged.

I appreciate them for only a few minutes.

I do not wish to own them.

It does not take long to appreciate.

You did not study any magic. Yet the fragrance of flowers

on the house and on yourself

is even more powerful than magic.

If flowers serve no purpose,

why would they exist in our world?

I have thought it through.

I shall hold you in my heart.

I love you,

not as a sibling. And it is not merely an admiration.

No. You will be the one to suffer.

Do not do this.

You need not worry.

I shall help you

uphold the vow you took with your master.

I only wanted to tell you

and celebrate the freedom of my heart.

I wish to appreciate the flowers.

And I wish to appreciate our lives together.

That is enough for me.

I should not have done it, Master.

I have brought an enemy into my life.

The worst enemy there is.

I shall not survive this time.

Please help me, Master.

Please help me.

I have a crime to report! My wife was killed and her blood was used for a plant!

My wife was killed! I am here to report a crime!

My wife was killed, and her blood was used to water a plant!

- Go! - Advance!

- Yours is doomed. - That shall not be!

Go! Go!

It must look for the right time to strike.

- Go! - Well done.

- That is it. - Attack!

- Go. Go. - Daeng, attack.

My Lords. My Lords.

- My Lords. - Hey!

My Lords. I am here to report a crime. Please do not dismiss me.

Who are you?! How did you get in here?!

Guards! Get him out!

I did not harm anyone. I am only troubled. Please listen to me.

Go report your trouble to your governor!

The governor did not listen to me, so was the capital court.

No one was able to help me, My Lords.

Please.

A citizen comes to report a crime, and must he be hurt for it?

But it was against the law to trespass the palace vicinity!

Did you not hear that nobody listened to him?

We have a duty to help citizens resolve their problems.

And this is a time for duty, not entertainment.

You insolent bastard!

In the palace vicinity, we are unarmed.

Letting outsiders in is dangerous!

How shall we live without rules?!

My Lords. I beg you.

You can execute me, but my wife deserves justice.

Well. State your problem.

My name is Chuang, a servant at Luang Athikorn's house, My Lords.

My wife's name is Pin. I suspect that

Luang Athikorn killed my wife, My Lords.

You are accusing a nobleman of high rank.

No wonder everyone denies your report.

Luang Athikorn's only son is gravely ill. Two weeks ago,

he received a magical plant from Master Saenkam.

This plant requires a sacrifice of freshly spilled blood from a pregnant woman.

Then, my three-month pregnant wife disappeared.

She has been missing for seven days now, My Lords.

Are you assuming that your master killed your wife

to offer her blood to the plant?

Yes, My Lord.

Are there any eyewitnesses or any evidence?

No, My Lord.

Luang Athikorn refused to help me find my wife

and offered me 20 hun of gold.

If he was not responsible, why must he give me the gold?

Did Luang Athikorn tell you

the reason he gave you the gold?

He said that I did my duties well, My Lord.

A mere assumption cannot be considered a criminal case.

Also, you have no witness or proof at all.

Are you not going to help me, My Lords?

At least you must have the body for us to investigate further.

But the culprit is a Luang! He would not leave the body for us to find, My Lord!

We are sorry we could not take this accusation.

But you shall be punished for trespassing the palace ground.

Put him in prison!

Guards! Take him away!

Come here.

I spoke the truth! Luang Athikorn killed my wife!

- He killed my wife and child! - Take him away!

- Let go! Let me go! - Get him out of here!

The problem is solved, My Lords.

An artifact that requires blood offerings. A savage cult such as this one

must be watched closely.

Yes, My Lord.

A simple archery shot

should not be this hard for a renowned soldier such as Khun Saengplarn.

Dear.

Shall we go somewhere quiet and talk about Master Saengkam?

A few days ago, someone reported

that a sacrifice for Master Saenkam's magical plant

is blood from pregnant women.

But there is no evidence of someone actually offering it.

But there is one pregnant servant missing.

No. Two of them.

One is from Luang Athikorn's house, and another is from Muen Vorachai's.

It was Noi.

I see you have heard something.

Hm.

I am here to tell you that I saw Muen Vorachai

at Master Saenkam's house as well.

May I ask what you were doing there?

I went to observe that place on Father's behalf. Am I not allowed to?

You are.

Dear, please see if you are experiencing anything strange.

Is your strength or are your skills beginning to diminish?

How are they relevant?

Well, from the beginning, Muen Vorachai forced you to marry his sister

to try to weaken your magical abilities.

If he truly asked Master Saenkam to curse you with a love charm

using that servant's blood, you shall become sick,

unfocused, and insane. You shall lose all your skills.

Are you feeling any changes?

Traitor!

After all I have done for you!

Was it that pleasant to spend the night together?!

Sir.

Well, not that much.

But you feel something?

That is it. I always knew Lady Chavala's intentions were not pure.

Well, I suggest you return and look through your house carefully.

You shall find the magical plant.

If you find one, you must drive Lady Chavala out of the house.

I do not wish for you to end up like Prai.

Ah.

What business has led you all the way to this camp, Lady Pim?

This is a bedroom. Perhaps I was sleeping here.

I am here to bring you your meal.

I happened to miss you.

How could a lady say such words?

I do not know.

I truly missed you.

I wanted to see your face.

Let me pour some tea for you.

I sense no enchantment.

What are you doing, dear?

I was only swatting flies.

Here.

Have plenty, dear.

I have missed your cooking so much.

Your chili paste is so…

Actually,

you did not have to walk me home. I can return by myself.

I must fetch something anyway.

Very well.

Can I have a tiffin back?

Thank you, dear.

You found nothing?!

How could that be?

Or perhaps Khun Saengplarn's weaker magic compared

to Master Saenkam's prevents him from detecting it?

Hey.

My apologies, sir.

But Pao's words also make sense.

He may be using illusion magic.

You said yourself that you feel somewhat unusual.

Unease from sickness is completely normal.

Let us say that I have taken a look and found nothing.

I shall go train the soldiers now, My Lady.

We must go see with our own eyes, Pao.

Yes, My Lady.

Pao, Aum.

- Yes, My Lady? - Yes, My Lady?

Look through every plant. See if there are leaves like this one. Search everywhere.

- Yes, My Lady. - Yes, My Lady.

What is this?

What is it you are doing here, My Lady?

Lady Chavala, your brother

cast a love charm on Khun Saengplarn with the magical plant.

And I am here to find proof.

Cast a love charm using a plant?

Yes. The magical plant from Master Saenkam.

Well, there is no such thing here.

A love charm must be cast on two.

You may not realize yet.

Any strange feelings?

Agitated? Irritable?

Hm?

I did not find any, My Lady.

I found nothing as well.

Lady Pim. Lady Pim! Wait!

Nothing.

Lady Pim, stop at once!

Lady Pim! Listen to me. Why must I cast a love charm on him

when I am already his royal-bestowed wife, his only wife?

A wife he loathes to the point of moving away to the camp?

Are you still calling yourself his wife?

It is nothing to be concerned about.

Regardless, you are not to come between us

for Khun Saengplarn is mine and mine alone.

Only for now. I shall unveil

the conspiracy you hatched with your brother to destroy him.

It is all because of you that I couldn't eat or sleep for months.

You shall die today!

Lady Pim!

You are wrong to pick a fight with a merchant like me!

- Stop! - It hurts!

How could you destroy other people's belongings?!

- Stop! - It hurts!

What a mess! This is an all-out war, sir!

Stop! Stop at once!

Va, stop! All of you, stop!

Dear!

Why would you hug Lady Pim?!

Let go of her! Come here!

What is this, Lady Pim? What is it you are doing here?!

I am here to save you.

To find a plant you could not find.

And have you found it?

With the three of you, one plant should be easy enough to find!

Must you all fight?!

What?

And have you three found it?!

No, sir.

Hm.

A slander. Lady Pim accused me because she wants my husband for herself!

She could not be any more straightforward.

Lady Pim. If you search my house in this manner,

I could report you to the judge.

Are you under a spell?

Could you bring yourself to report me?

I am not under any spell, Lady Pim.

But if you do not leave my house now, I shall really do it

The daughter of the Minister of the Royal Household

was reported by Khun Saengplarn for trespassing!

It shall be a scandalous case!

You are truly under a spell. It is obvious.

What good does a woman like her have that makes you so fond of her?

One day, I shall find a way to save you.

It is your time to go.

- You! - Go away!

- Enough! - Hey!

Go away. Take your things too.

Aum, enough!

- What a pain. - What?

You too! Why did you not stop your lady?!

Well…

You were much calmer and did not turn to violence like this before!

I was not protective of you then, but I am now!

And how would it end if you two kept fighting?

She accused me of using a love charm. It was only her excuse to see you!

So, Lady Pim can go see you at the camp,

but I am not allowed to work with Aon at the market.

Lady Pim and I have nothing going on.

Aon and I have nothing going on either!

If she can freely visit you, how can I be sure she does not spend nights with you?

- What? Are you out of your mind?! - Well?!

- There are soldiers at the camp! - There are people at the market as well!

If you do not wish for me to work or to see Aon,

you should spend nights at your house!

At least I’ll feel reassured that you’re not with anyone at night.

Checkmate!

What was that, Ming?

I played chess with Yong this morning, sir.

The Bishop checked the King,

and he had nowhere to go.

Shut up!

It does not matter. Whether I sleep here or at the camp,

we shall not lie together anyway.

Dear!

I do not wish to lie with you, but my honor was hurt. Lady Pim disrespected me!

Whatever, dear!

If you stay within my sight

and Lady Pim sneaks in to see you at night,

at least the dogs will bark and I will wake up to watch over you!

- No! I shall spend nights at the camp! - What?!

Women are such a pain!

Both women and men can be consumed by jealousy!

Well… Who was it that was destroying things at the market?

- Hm? - You!

I shall not talk to you anymore!

The King can still run away, Ming.

This game is far from over. We must keep watching.

You constantly dictate others' actions, yet you don't behave yourself.

- Tian. - Yes, sir.

Laor is not here yet? I requested a scented candle. Did she deliver it?

- She will not come. - What?

Laor said that

from now, I shall be the one cooking for you.

Why?!

Lady Va is angry with you. That is all Laor told me.

Angry with me?

- Yes. - Angry with me?

Why does the sound feel so close tonight?

All this time,

is it you who has been playing the fiddle?

You are worried if I meet with someone at night,

so I am here to tell you

I have been coming for someone at the dock nearby

to play the fiddle for her.

It is truly you.

Well, Tian has told me before, but I did not believe him.

The house is on one side, yet you played the fiddle on the other side of the river.

How strange.

The music from this fiddle

has made my nights not feel lonely at all.

Has this music helped to calm your anger towards me?

Did it calm my anger?

Hey. Wait.

I did not wish for you to do this.

You are out of line now.

Always surprises me with strange acts.

Everything I did is only to assure you

as siblings only.

Siblings. It is all we shall be.

Very well, siblings.

Father, Mother, this is Pansaeng,

the one I am wedded to.

Help! Please help me!

It is our human nature to believe

that achievements come from the sacred power, rather than ourselves.

Are you here to challenge me?

You have robbed my family!

Who are you?

My name is Khun Saengplarn!

Your obsession with a woman weakened you.

Your magic has faded now.

I wish to be reborn to meet you in every life

and for us to always remember each other.
