What is happening?

Send someone out to find Khanin immediately.

Soldiers,

detain Prince Wasin.

Your Royal Highness!

Go to hell.

- Your Royal Highness! - Watch out!

Chakri...

Chakri!

- Chakri! - Chakri!

Your Majesty, will you really let Khanin and me leave

without ever seeing Tharin?

Please let me stay for a few more days...

That's not possible.

Things are far too unstable as they stand.

Tharin agrees with me.

He's sent his regrets that he cannot see you and Khanin off.

Has Khanin recovered from yesterday's shock?

He is alright now, Your Majesty.

How about you?

Even with royal guards stationed at all times, they dared to break in.

Trust me. There's truly no time.

You must leave now.

I understand, but...

Just go, and stay safe.

When peace returns,

I'll come for you and Khanin.

Yes.

I'd like to take my leave.

Chita, you stay.

I have faith in you.

Ensure the safety of Princess Khunita and Prince Khanin.

I'll dispatch my finest soldiers to help.

As for Charan,

he will be under my protection

until you return from the UK.

I'm afraid...

it may not be proper, Your Majesty.

Your family, Phithakthewa, has always been loyal.

I shall adopt Charan.

I see no reason this would be improper.

It is decided.

I am most grateful, Your Majesty.

Moving on to the news that has shaken the entire nation.

It's the Royal Competition's archery match,

taking place in Meenanagarin.

[Their Royal Highnesses Ambushed during Archery Match in Meenanagarin]

As you can see,

an explosion occurred in the middle of the Competition.

Reports also confirm that outsiders

infiltrated the arena in an attempt to assassinate Their Royal Highnesses.

Oh, Khanin...

Are you injured, dear?

Just a minor injury, Father.

But it has been taken care of.

I'm alright, Father.

Well...

how is Grandfather doing?

The doctors have taken the bullet out.

However...

Your Royal Highnesses...

The condition of His Majesty has now passed the critical stage.

Ran,

thank you for always protecting me and the Assavadevathins.

Why are you protecting him?

Don't you know he's the one who caused your mother's death?

About what Prince Wasin said,

can you tell me about that?

Did he mean...

Grandfather caused your mother...

Nin...

Listen to me.

I've known the truth all along.

What happened in the past has nothing to do with you.

I'm not sure...

if you should know about it.

Why, though?

I don't want it to weigh on you.

But I already know it from Prince Wasin.

Please let me know the whole truth.

First of all,

the one who caused...

your mother's death...

Was it Grandfather?

Actually,

I thought it was him, too.

But it wasn't.

Chita,

I'm sorry.

Why would you be, Your Royal Highness?

You had to leave your family just to be here for us.

I consider it a great honor to serve you.

Mother!

Mother! Where are you going?

Mother!

Mother...

Charan is still just a child.

When he grows up,

he will understand me, Your Royal Highness.

Forgive me, Your Royal Highness.

For them to catch up despite our hasty escape...

There must be a traitor among us.

As you are aware, it was Prince Wasin

who was behind the assassination attempt on both Princess Khunita and you.

The one who saw the incident that night was Mr. Thatdanai.

Your Royal Highness...

Your Royal Highness!

Chita...

Chita!

Chita!

Chase after them.

Now!

Your Royal Highness!

When he came to our house,

I probably sneaked into his car.

That day might be the reason why...

Mother!

- Don't get in there! - Mother!

I've come to hate the rain.

Then,

what Prince Wasin said wasn't wrong after all

- because the Assavadevathins... - That's not it.

The duties of the Phithakthewas to the Assavadevathins

are to protect, take care of,

and remain loyal.

It's not due to any command,

but because of a vow.

Are you not mad at me at all?

Your mother died,

but I lived.

Do I really seem so unreasonable?

If I were you,

I have no idea if I would...

I'm not mad at you

or anyone.

No one...

wished for any of that to happen.

Prince Wasin himself has also passed away.

But...

how could I face you?

I feel like it was my fault that your mother...

You were just a baby, Nin.

How would it be your fault?

But...

I should be grateful

that you came back to Emmaly with me.

Had I not found you,

I wouldn't have felt this way.

"Felt...

this way"?

Feeling that...

when we care for someone with all our heart,

we love

and cherish them like our very life.

Ran...

The surgery's all done.

You don't need to worry.

He just needs to rest.

[Their Royal Highnesses Ambushed during Archery Match in Meenanagarin]

Chakri...

Your Royal Highness...

Chakri!

Your Royal Highness...

Hold on. Stop.

Just keep lying down.

I can't, Your Royal Highness.

What do you mean?

Hey!

You just regained consciousness. Don't move.

Chakri,

I'm here to see you.

Get well soon.

As soon as you said that, I immediately felt better.

But...

are you alright, Your Royal Highness?

Still thinking about others?

I'm safe.

How are you doing, Chakri?

I'm feeling better now, Your Royal Highness.

Khanin,

I've come to tell you that His Majesty's condition has improved.

The doctors recommend that

he continue treatment in Davin,

so we'll need to head back there soon.

Alright, Father.

Do you remember the video of Prince Calvin from Bhujar

joining the protest in Assavadevathin,

Emmaly? [Prince Calvin Recalled to His Country]

That video has now gone viral.

Following the incident, sources report that

he has been urgently recalled to Bhujar.

The Royal Palace of Bhujar has issued a statement,

asserting that Prince Calvin acted on his own accord

and that Bhujar will not involve itself in Emmaly's internal affairs.

Looks like Calvin's in trouble.

As acting regent for His Majesty,

I hereby declare that Prince Wasin has passed away.

Please rise and join me in a moment of silence in his honor.

You may sit down.

As there is no heir to the throne of Meenanagarin,

its authority must now return to the central rule.

I shall assume temporary governorship over it for the time being.

And what will happen

to the Royal Competition?

Rachata,

now is not the best time to speak of this.

It's alright.

As you are well aware,

there was corruption in the first round of the Competition.

The archery results have also been invalidated.

Moreover, we are also unable to hold another archery match.

Thus, I wish to discuss this with you first.

Are you saying the Competition will no longer continue?

I would like to see His Majesty recover first.

When that time comes,

we shall reconsider the Royal Competition.

I'm going to be honest here.

Even if something happened to the King,

wouldn't the Competition still have to go on?

Rachata,

how could you say such a thing?

You are right, Rachata.

However, after assessing the situation,

I still cannot assure the safety of every royal family member.

If anything happens, wouldn't it make things even worse?

Goddammit!

Those damn Assavadevathins!

They don't want me to take the throne.

That's why they invalidated the Competition

when you were just about to win!

What is wrong with you?

Nothing to say?

I'm upset, too, Father.

Is this how you show anger?

What a coward you are.

You're completely useless!

Please stop, Your Royal Highness.

Go away.

Go away!

Please let me bear the punishment instead.

What are you talking about?

What?

Who do you think you are?

Speak.

Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness.

I had no right.

You had no right?

You have no right to stand in my way!

Stay down.

Now,

I'll have Ramil teach you

who rules and who serves.

Ramil,

step on his face.

Do it!

I cannot obey, Father.

You're testing my patience, aren't you?

I gave you an order. Put your foot on his face.

Do it!

Now.

Step on his face!

Like that.

Now, you finally see

who rules

and who serves.

You're pathetic.

All this time,

I've suffered.

I've felt small.

But I endured it all because...

you were there with me.

Because I knew...

you would protect me.

I have always protected you, haven't I?

No one's ever dared to mess with you.

But not Prince Rachata, right?

I did everything I could.

Don't cry, Paytai.

I must respectfully decline your order, Your Royal Highness.

I cannot do that.

The matter between us...

Please let it end here.

Do you even know what you're saying?

Though in private,

I consent to be your devoted servant...

Paytai...

In real life,

I have my own dignity.

And I wish to be honored

as your lover.

Where are you going?

Thank you for protecting me.

Thank you

for protecting and taking care of the Assavadevathins.

I'll be waiting over there, okay?

I know you loved roses, Mother.

Protect, take care of,

and remain loyal to the Assavadevathins.

I have fulfilled my duties...

as the leader of the Phithakthewa family, just as you once were.

That was fast.

You can take your time.

I'll be fine.

Thank you.

Forgive me, Your Royal Highness.

His Majesty...

Following the recovery of His Majesty,

he has commanded me to convene the royal clans.

That is why I've gathered you all here today.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations

on the recovery of His Majesty.

We offer congratulations upon this blessed news.

Might we be allowed to visit His Majesty now?

I appreciate your kind concern for our clan.

However, his condition remains delicate,

and it is not yet appropriate to allow visitors for now.

I thought today would be the day we'd get to visit His Majesty.

If we're not allowed to visit, then what's the point...

of this convention?

His Majesty has issued a command regarding the Royal Competition.

He wishes for the Competition to proceed.

He believes it is most fitting

that it be proceeded in the traditional way,

with a final fencing match to determine the victor.

With your permission,

I have an important matter to announce.

You have my permission.

After careful consideration,

to ensure my heir's safety,

we shall no longer take part in the Royal Competition.

However,

the final decision rests with Ava,

my daughter and the pride of my clan.

You have devoted yourself fully to your training.

The right to decide your participation

rightfully belongs to you.

I shall prove myself to you, Father.

Your archery skills are truly impressive, Your Royal Highness.

I dedicated myself to training because I didn't want to lose

and wanted to prove myself.

Thank you for your answer, Princess Ava.

You've also done a wonderful job speaking up for equal rights.

I wanted to prove that being a woman didn't make me any less.

But all the mess in this Competition has opened my eyes.

It is not fair anymore, Ava.

- Ava! - Ava!

I've realized that it's nothing more than a game of power,

and I have nothing to prove to anyone.

I, the heir of Davichmetha, hereby withdraw.

To summarize,

we shall proceed with the fencing match between the two clans:

Assavadevathin and Bhuchongpisut.

Ramil,

Khanin,

do you have any objections?

No, Your Royal Highness.

Uh...

Father,

may I be permitted to speak?

You may.

This may not be the most suitable time to proceed with the Royal Competition.

Would it not be better to wait until His Majesty has fully recovered?

That may not be possible.

It was His Majesty himself who commanded

that the Competition continue without delay.

We have yet another matter to disclose.

The Royal Palace will announce that Prince Wasin lost his life

in an accident during his travels.

A condolence letter will also be sent

to the extended kin of Meenanagarin.

That should be the best decision.

But what shall become of the governance of Meenanagarin

since Wasin had no heir?

Might it be wise to appoint a qualified person to lead the region?

I am in agreement.

The Royal Palace must appoint a leader with the suitable attributes.

Ramil's proposal is commendable,

yet it raises concerns that they may not come from the Meenanagarin clan.

By withholding the truth for that clan,

we have shown enough respect.

Thus, I shall have the Royal Palace

select a suitable leader for Meenanagarin,

after which we may convene to discuss the matter again.

May I ask why...

the people of Meenanagarin are not granted

the right to choose their own leader?

That is indeed an intriguing question.

I presume you are referring to elections.

Yes, Father.

I appreciate your frankness,

but I must decline.

As for the leadership of Meenanagarin,

it shall proceed as I have previously declared.

Can we talk, dear?

Father,

I...

Are you disappointed in me?

I just thought...

maybe this was our chance to bring about change.

I know you want to bring change

to see democracy in Emmaly.

But there's only one way, dear.

You must win the fencing match.

If we win, will you change the way we rule, Father?

I will do all that I can.

Then why did you reject me in the convention just now?

What you wanted

is for everyone there to give up their power.

That's never an easy thing to ask, dear.

But would you...

give it up?

If you win,

then wait and see what happens.

Nin,

your grandfather wanted me to tell you that

he's sorry.

Has news of the rebellion been kept quiet?

Yes, Father.

Even the butler I trusted

could turn on me...

And I never suspected a thing.

Wirun has passed away, Father.

As he should.

- Father... I'll go get the doctor. - No need.

I'm sorry, Tharin.

I regret what I've done to you and...

Emmaly.

But you did it all for our family and nation.

Even if that excuse paints me in a better light,

I'm still the one who set the path

and forced you to live that way your whole life.

Honestly, deep down,

I might have been unhappy, too.

Maybe not telling you about Khanin might have hurt you a lot, right?

My apology

might not help at all.

I was hurt before,

but that time is behind me now.

Let's work together to fix what went wrong, shall we?

If I die before the Competition...

keep it a secret until the fencing match is over.

The news must be withheld until the Royal Competition concludes.

How can I possibly do that?

My entire life was to make Assavadevathin flourish.

Even if I leave this world, I won't stand in the way of its glory.

Khanin must bring the victory for sure.

I have faith in him.

Tell Khanin I'm sorry.

He's deeply sorry for having caused all of this.

Fence on behalf of the Assavadevathins

and bring victory for Emmaly,

can you?

What's wrong?

Worried about tomorrow?

I want to make things better for Emmaly

and make things right.

But if I lose tomorrow...

Don't worry.

Just do your best.

I feel so much pressure.

A little pressure's not all bad.

It can push you forward.

But this is too much.

I can't even sleep.

If you can't sleep,

I'll stay up with you.

These are heavy.

Can you handle them?

Here you go.

Good luck.

En garde. (On guard)

Prêts? (Ready?)

Allez. (Go)

Allez. (Go)

En garde. (On guard)

Prêts? (Ready?)

Allez. (Go)

Well done, dear.

That was incredible.

You're the best!

If you can even beat Charan, we've got nothing to worry about.

I'd like to challenge you next, Dad.

Go get changed and come fight me!

Please.

Please...

Fence with me.

Wow, you're amazing.

Ready?

- Watch out! - Ouch!

- Come on, Dad. - Get me. Don't walk away.

Show me what you've got.

What?

Get this!

Come on.

Are you okay, Nin?

Yay, I won.

I won.

You don't even try to change, huh?

Stop.

Get up,

or you won't be able to beat Khanin.

Get up.

Don't help him.

Get up, Ramil.

Soon,

we shall rise and rule over this country.

Get up!

Shall we take a quick break?

Is Paytai here?

He hasn't come here at all, Your Royal Highness.

You're looking after me now. Are you fully recovered?

I told you, Your Royal Highness.

I've been well since the day you came to visit me.

Good luck, Your Royal Highness.

Don't forget to breathe.

Yes?

You need to breathe.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Feeling better?

Good luck.

You've got this.

Coming up next is the Royal Fencing Competition

between Prince Ramil Bhuchongpisut and Prince Khanin Assavadevathin.

May both princes take their positions, please.

This is the most historic match

Emmaly has seen in decades

as it marks a duel

between the clans of Bhuchongpisut and Assavadevathin.

En garde. (On guard)

Prêts? (Ready?)

Allez. (Go)

I offer my heartfelt congratulations to...

Grandfather...

Khanin...

I haven't changed my mind.

Just like I told you before,

I want nothing more than an ordinary life.

Don't forget to call me when you have time.

Call me often.

Goodbye, Mr. Charan.

I, Chakri, am leaving for London.

The moment has come.
