[Episode 43]

4

First Princess said this letter came from your homeland.

5

To avoid your missing any big news, I came to deliver to you in a hurry.

6

Allow me to be dismissed.

7

Your Highness, two cities in Qingzhou have been destroyed. Preceptor Princess Yu Ran has returned to Qingzhou.

8

Preceptor Princess Yu Ran has returned to Qingzhou. Return immediately.

9

Congratulations, my Lord.

10

Your wish has been granted.

11

Do you need to congratulate me? It's also your help from all these years.

12

My Lord, your planning

13

has always exceeded mine. All these years,

14

even though you've regarded me as State Preceptor,

15

I've also learned much from you.

16

Why are you suddenly talking about stuff like that?

17

Without you in the plotting, it would have been boring.

18

I am here to bid my farewell, My Lord.

19

Where do you want to go?

20

I received news from someone in Qingzhou.

21

Someone saw Yu Ran, bound and taken there.

22

The situation is urgent. I need to hurry back.

23

You really have to go?

24

Back then, I promised you to help you restore your country.

25

It looks be the time to fulfill my promise.

26

I will write to Tuoba Shangyue right away,

27

and ask him to deploy an elite team to go with you to Qingzhou

28

to assist you.

29

What my Lord has given me,

30

I won't ever forget.

31

Rise up.

32

Actually, Lower Tang has become my homeland.

33

I have something to give you, My Lord.

34

It's a Boxi charm, and it connects with the person who wields its power.

35

If Boxi is fine, then I'm fine.

36

I will wait for you in Lower Tang.

37

Go away, there isn't anyone you want here.

38

Sir, I really am not lying.

39

There really was a pretty lady

40

who gave me this and a note.

41

That young lady said to come to Shangyang Pass, look for a man surnamed Ji...

42

a General Ji. She said he is really awesome and should be easy to find.

43

I don't know such a person.

44

Our generals are either named Xi or Bai.

45

I've never heard of a General Ji.

46

Get out of here.

47

Commander, please look again for me.

48

I promised that young lady.

49

I am the one surnamed Ji.

50

Your Highness!

51

Ji Ye?

52

I have news about Yu Ran.

53

What about her?

54

She wrote a letter, saying Yi Tianzhan took her to Qingzhou.

55

Yi Tianzhan? Is she in any danger?

56

She said she is going there willingly.

57

Something seems to have happened, and she wants to go back to take a look.

58

I'm going to look for her now.

59

It was my fault she was taken away. I must bring her back.

60

Then, you should bring some soldiers with you.

61

It will attract attention with soldiers, and the journey is long.

62

The most important thing is to find her first.

63

Then we'll see what's happened at Qingzhou.

64

How's Asule?

65

He is still unconscious, but he seems to be getting better.

66

If he were awake, he would definitely go with you.

67

With you taking care of Asule,

68

he'll definitely recover soon.

69

When I bring back Yu Ran,

70

we will go to the grasslands together.

71

Okay. We'll wait for you to come back.

72

The journey is long. Please take care of yourself.

73

Don't worry.

74

Uncle, it doesn't look right.

75

General Tuoba, what are you doing?

76

As ordered by Lord Baili, we are arresting the criminal Xi Yan.

77

Since it's the Lord who wants to arrest me,

78

he could easily send a decree. Why does he need to involve General Tuoba to playact?

79

His Lordship's intent is that General Xi is well respected in the military,

80

so he asked me to personally come escort you.

81

Since you are here, General Tuoba,

82

then I'll go with you.

83

- Uncle.

- Please, you first.

84

Where is this?

85

It's the old palace where the Feather Emperor resided.

86

This is where my father lived.

87

Was I also born here?

88

I still remember vividly now.

89

That year,

90

the grand festivities upon your birth.

91

In the palace was laid the golden-threaded carpet.

92

Under the beams,

93

There hung colorful hand-drawn lanterns everywhere.

94

Everywhere, you could see

95

carved candlestick stands as tall as a Feather Tribesman.

96

And the precious incense

97

that was burning night and day.

98

In the sky, there were hundreds of

99

snow cranes that circulated non-stop

100

flying and singing.

101

Singing...

102

But now,

103

it all has turned into such an unsightly scene.

104

It must have suffered a catastrophe.

105

Something must have happened.

106

We need to go to the divine temple now, to find the Snow Cranes.

107

That's how we'll gain the fighting power.

108

Yes, Snow Cranes.

109

Snow Cranes will only listen to Valkyrie's orders.

110

They cannot be controlled by anyone.

111

Your Highness.

112

Princess.

113

All along,

114

I've listened to you.

115

It was you who told me

116

that Qingzhou is a thick forest.

117

But where is the forest?

118

Now you want to take me to some divine temple.

119

How do I know if you're lying to me again?

120

It's also been many years that

121

I haven't returned to home.

122

Whatever happened here is more severe than I had imagined.

123

If I had known

124

that it would be like this here,

125

I wouldn't have brought you back.

126

Absolutely not.

127

Trust me.

128

Ok, I'll trust you once more.

129

Didn't you say I am Valkyrie?

130

If you lie to me again, I'll tell Snow Cranes to kill you.

131

Why are you standing there dazed? I don't know the way.

132

Show me the way!

133

Let's go. Princess, please.

134

Mother.

135

Greetings, my lord.

136

Little Zhou.

137

Come.

138

Let me take a good look at you.

139

It's been so many years. You are now a young lady.

140

Greetings, Our Lord.

141

General Bai, you've worked hard. The soldiers have worked hard.

142

On behalf of the 30,000 soldiers, we thank Our Lord's kindness and care for us.

143

General, don't be so formal.

144

Please rise now.

145

Mother, you have come on an arduous journey. You should rest first.

146

Your Highness.

147

You may all leave.

148

Your Highness, if there's anything you want, please let me know.

149

I'll do it myself. You're dismissed.

150

Yes.

151

So where are those Snow Cranes you mentioned?

152

It's what you are looking at now.

153

Aren't they all just rocks?

154

Snow Crane Regiment.

155

You were my last hope.

156

I can't understand how you've come to this state.

157

There seems to have been fierce fighting here.

158

Maybe they got fossilized during fighting?

159

Fossilized?

160

Feather Tribesmen don't know the spell of fossilization.

161

It must have been a powerful force

162

that controlled this place.

163

Old Man.

164

Oh no, danger!

165

Come with me.

166

King's killer Gumo.

167

It's been fifteen years.

168

You've finally come back to Qingzhou.

169

Just you guys? There's no way you'll catch me.

170

Let me ask you.

171

Why has Qingzhou turned into this way?

172

And you, who are you loyal to?

173

I don't think Sir Gumo is qualified to ask us questions.

174

If you don't surrender, I'll killer her first.

175

Then I'll kill you.

176

What are you doing?

177

What are you doing?!

178

But now, I have an extra person to protect.

179

That's you, Crown Prince.

180

Mother.

181

I haven't greeted Mother because I've been faraway.

182

I feel really sorry.

183

I heard the palace servants say that you have a frequent cough at night.

184

So I made some medicinal soup

185

to hopefully alleviate your coughing.

186

Okay, I'll try it.

187

It's delicious.

188

It's thanks to General Bai that I can see you this time.

189

Teacher has taken good care of me.

190

These past few years, I didn't get to see you.

191

Teacher wrote letters to tell me about you.

192

I really haven't served my filial duty.

193

As a child, I don't even know much about my own mother.

194

When I left the Capitol, you were only five years old.

195

You wore a white sable coast in the winter, looking like fluffy white ball.

196

The was the last time I saw you.

197

Not seeing you has really been a torment to me.

198

Mother, you look the same as in my memory.

199

But I'm probably not the fluffy white ball that you remember.

200

You've grown to be even prettier.

201

Mother, do I look like my father?

202

Yes.

203

You look very much like the Lord.

204

Teacher.

205

Come back to be by my side from now on.

206

There are so many things that have been amiss. I will try to make them up to you.

207

Although I've returned,

208

I'm not the same girl you think I am.

209

Too many things have happened these past few years.

210

This is left for you from the late Emperor.

211

It was sent out right before chaos erupted in the capital, and was sent to Chuwei.

212

I've never opened it.

213

But I can tell that the late Emperor and you had a close brother-sister relationship.

214

But as your mother, I don't want you to risk your life by going back to Revelation City.

215

You are my daughter. I hope that you will have a peaceful life from now on.

216

Reporting, My Lord, there is news from the royal physician.

217

Qingyang's Crown Prince has awakened.

218

Go and look.

219

Asule!

220

- You're really awake.

- Xiao Zhou

221

Did you know you defeated Lei Bichen?

222

You saved all the people in the city.

223

General Xi has taken soldiers down to Xia Tang.

224

- Ji Ye received news about Yu Ran and has gone to Qingzhou to look for her.

- Qingzhou?

225

I'll tell you everything a little at a time. You've been unconscious for so long, you must be hungry.

226

I'll go make you something to eat.

227

What is it?

228

Xiao Zhou, after I killed Lei Bichen,

229

I remembered everything in the past.

230

What you're saying is that everything that's happened in the Capitol,

231

including who killed you, you've remembered it all?

232

It's all in the past. Don't feel awkward about it.

233

You've really forgiven him?

234

In my heart, His Majesty was always a good friend.

235

Although he's done wrong, he's also paid the price.

236

Besides, I can understand his reasons.

237

That's why I don't hate him.

238

But no matter what, I still should apologize to you.

239

It's fine. I know what you're worried about.

240

But it was my own decision to help the Emperor. It had nothing to do with you.

241

Don't beat yourself up over this.

242

Asule, thank you.

243

It's me who should be thanking you. From the Capitol to the mountain village,

244

then from the mountain village to Shangyang Pass, you've been the one that takes care of me.

245

I don't even know how to thank you.

246

Sure, Crown Prince, just think slowly. I will wait.

247

Feather Emperor, one of the three major cities, Bomur City, has been searched completely.

248

All the resisting nobles have been killed.

249

As you commanded, the search in Stark City is also near completion.

250

We haven't seen anymore Feather Tribesmen who could expand wings to fly.

251

Feather Emperor, we have captured the person you wanted.

252

Bring her in.

253

I could hardly breathe.

254

Who are you?! Why'd you capture me?!

255

Say something! Don't just look at me!

256

It appears that the captured person is you, not me.

257

Do you still remember this place? Your Highness.

258

Who exactly are you?

259

When you left here, you were still very young so you don't remember.

260

There's no need to be afraid.

261

I am Bomink, the new Feather Emperor of Qingzhou.

262

The way you look, you say you're the new Feather Emperor.

263

Then I can say I am the new Feather Emperor.

264

What are you doing?

265

Never judge someone from the way he looks.

266

Princess, I'm sure you saw it when you landed from the ship.

267

Only the Feather Emperor can create such grandeur.

268

Looking like this, how...

269

It was you who killed those people?

270

I just want to announce to everyone who steps on Qingzhou's land that

271

Qingzhou is no longer the Qingzhou from before.

272

What does that mean?

273

Very soon, all the Feather Tribes people who can fly will have to die.

274

Qingzhou will belong to Qingzhou's civilians.

275

How can you be so cruel?

276

I'm cruel?

277

You only know that your father was Feather Emperor, but how much do you know about him?

278

If he had been good at managing the country, he wouldn't have been killed.

279

Your father was just a tyrant.

280

Nonsense! It's just your excuse to rebel.

281

Stop talking so much nonsense! If you're gonna kill me, then just kill me.

282

Why would I kill you?

283

Killing you is as easy as moving a blade in and out.

284

I want you to witness the destruction of fantasy.

285

That's what's interesting.

286

Qingzhou's great show has just begun.

287

We'll have to inconvenience you for now, Princess.

288

What are you doing? What are you doing?!

289

Princess.

290

Princess, are you okay?

291

Where did they take you?

292

They took me to see a person named Guo Mingke.

293

Do you know him?

294

Guo Mingke.

295

Are you thinking about the next lie you can tell me?

296

I remember you once told me

297

that my father was a person loved by everyone.

298

He wasn't!

299

Guo Mingke told me

300

He was a tyrant.

301

You've been lying to me. Why do you have to lie?!

302

I thought you would feel bad if you knew the truth.

303

If you think I'm a liar,

304

I can only apologize to you here.

305

What good is an apology?

306

I hate you.

307

I hate this land.

308

I hate you for bringing me here.

309

If I didn't tell you something,

310

it doesn't mean that it didn't really happen.

311

You are one of the Feather Tribes, and you have to face everything here.

312

Face it?

313

You, a king's killer,

314

what right do you have to tell me to face things?

315

Enough!

316

I am not a king's killer. I didn't kill your father.

317

No! It's been 15 years!

318

I've been bearing this sordid name of killing the king. It's enough!

319

I know you're hurting.

320

How about me? My heart feels like it's been chopped by a blade.

321

Right, pain is sometimes

322

the medicine that let's you

323

see the truth.

324

Your Highness

325

you have seen what Qingzhou

326

looks like now.

327

So, I'm pleading you, can you please stay?

328

I'm begging you.

329

Alright, you want to know the truth.

330

I'll tell you now what happened here back then.

331

Back then, the Feather Emperor

332

was full of self pride, boastful of his accomplishments,

333

and robbed from the civilians everywhere.

334

He took the Snow Cranes to attack Hua Tribe and surrounding states.

335

So many young Feather Tribesmen

336

died a terrible death in the war that he created.

337

And I, back then,

338

was inspired by the Heavenly Samurai, and wanted to

339

and wanted to advise the Feather Emperor through drastic changes.

340

I was too simple-minded.

341

I failed.

342

I was captured by the Snow Cranes.

343

Feather Emperor

344

cut off my wings.

345

Later, I was lucky enough to escape.

346

Found an empty place to heal my wounds.

347

At that time, I was thinking that I couldn't be aggressive like Feather Emperor.

348

Because that wouldn't solve any problem.

349

After I healed,

350

I went back to Qing City.

351

I wanted to see Feather Emperor again.

352

But when I arrived at the palace,

353

he was already lying in a pool of blood.

354

From then on, I left Qingzhou.

355

It's been 15 years since I left.

356

Fifteen years.

357

When I stepped on Qingzhou's land again,

358

I could not have imagined that

359

it would have changed into such

360

a ruinous state.

361

Previously I didn't tell you all the truth,

362

it's because you'd feel sorrow once you learned all the truth.

363

You are so young, and you should not bear

364

the cruel realities.

365

I am regretting.

366

I regret that I brought you back to Qingzhou.

367

If I had another chance,

368

I definitely wouldn't come back with you.

369

But where can I go?

370

When I escaped from the capital,

371

I escaped to the little mountain village,

372

I originally thought I'd live there forever.

373

But, in the end...

374

Now that I think about it,

375

that mountain village might have been faked.

376

In this chaotic time,

377

how can there be such a beautiful place.

378

Mother, just let me do all those things.

379

You've been tired, I want you to get some sleep.

380

You are tired too coming from Chuwei, Mother.

381

All these, you can just let the mades take care of them.

382

You prefer to sleep on your side,

383

so you must have thicker padding on the edge of the bed.

384

How do the servants know these things?

385

I've been keeping it next to my pillow. It feels like Mother is always by my side.

386

Little Zhou.

387

Even though we could not see each other,

388

I've been thinking about you every day.

389

I hope you'll live a better life than I have.

390

Then, has Mother lived a happy life these years?

391

To have someone you love and be able to look at him every day. That's happiness, right?

392

If I were you, Mother, I would wake up smiling.

393

You're such a child. We were talking about you, how did it change to me?

394

Let me ask you. Do you really like that Crown Prince of Qingyang?

395

But won't he eventually return to his homeland? What will you do then?

396

Easy. I'll go wherever he goes.

397

Silly child. Your idea is too simple.

398

I'm worried that you'd make a wrong step right from the start.

399

I think, as long as I can see him every day,

400

I will be content.

401

Do you feel better now?

402

I'm feeling mostly fine now. After staying in bed for so long,

403

It feels stuffy inside.

404

Among these wounded, less than five or six out of ten will survive.

405

It's even more haunting than seeing the battlefield.

406

That day, when I fell from the cliff,

407

I thought I'd become just like them.
