Marco Polo... the story never told.

Since you are headed to Catai, to the court of the Grand Khan Kubilai,

I would like to ask you a favor, young Venetian.

It will be a great honor for me to be of service to the great Arghun Khan,

ruler of the Kingdom of Persia.

I agree with you.

Leave us alone!

Wait.

This is my daughter Shahara, whom I have committed in marriage to Kubilay Khan

To enshrine the friendship between our peoples.

I entrust you to escort her to Catai.

You will be responsible for her virgin.

What if she is not by any chance a virgin anymore?

You could check it yourself, ***.

Please, sweet enchantment of morning,

show the valiant stranger thy undisclosed primrose,

hidden in the mysterious bush.

Have you verified it?

It is still as mother made it.

It shall be my endeavor to lead the virgin to her betrothed.

And so began my perilous journey.

To the distant lands of Kubilai Khan.

Guarding as a precious treasure...

the virginity of Princess Shahara.

Escorted by the imperial guards,

and my trusted traveling companion Zhangzhou,

a man of few words,

partly because a mute from birth.

- Go. - Greetings, Princess

- Go. - Huh?

You're tough, huh? (***)

I've been burning with desire for three moons.

How long will you resist me, Venetian?

I have promised to your father...

But don't you see how my body shivers?

Please, gratify my desire.

Yes, to hell with your father and the betrothed,

I want you too.

I want you.

What is this writing on your flower?

Nothing, it's just a tattoo, Marco Polo.

But it is an inscription in Sanskrit...

Wait, I want to read.

"The head will be cut off, if it is used to pick this fruit."

The head? No, I keep my head!

Oh no, it says the same thing here too.

I thought you were bolder, Venetian.

I mean that I'm looking for a man willing to do anything to possess me.

I understand your disappointment, Princess,

but think about it a little...

My life now depends on your virginity.

Then it is tied to a silk thread in a twirl of monkeys.

Farewell, my beautiful Venetian.

Come on, yes.

Yes.

Come.

What do you have to tell me, Princess?

I have a confession to make, Venetian.

My fruit has been plucked.

What?

Throughout the whole journey you were just refusing me, so I...

But who could have dared so much?

The captain of our escort.

That surrious Marrano.

And also his helper...

Even that dastardly one?

And then the other soldiers as well.

- All twenty-five of them? - Yes.

And the chaperones, the cooks, the carvers, and...

And...

Shut up.

I beg you, this is the end for me.

The great Khan won't have mercy.

I had to bring him a virgin,

instead, I bring him a whore.

What could I tell to the great Khan? Huh?

But you...

You have...

You have turned on the fire of passion in my heart.

And now...

that you have nothing left to lose, since the damage is done...

what are you waiting for?

To finally satiate my craving for you?

To hell with oaths.

Actually, the road seems so narrow to me, Princess.

That it's strange that so many have traveled it.

Actually...

You are the one who took my virginity.

What?

The captain, guards and cooks, everyone else?

They are an innocent lie.

Oh, no!

That's the end.

I wrote my death sentence with my own hands.

Turn back, I want to pick the other fruit.

There it is.

Yes, yes, yes.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Again.

Again.

Wait.

I come.

*** Princess.

You have to keep.

***

So, Marco Polo?

I'll be right there, Princess.

There you go, the astringent drug is ready.

And also... this pigeon egg.

I have filled it with corpora.

At the first assault, it will break,

and will give the illusion of deflowering is happening.

In this way, your honor and my head...

...will be permanently saved.

Oh, my...

It smells nauseating. I hope I won't have to drink it.

Nothing like this.

It has to be put in there.

All right then.

If introducing a drug into my flower

is the only way to restore it, go ahead.

Yes...

Like this.

You'd better do it yourself.

The Princess Shahara and her Venetian escort.

Come closer,

I am anxious to meet my new bride.

I give you your bride,

O great Kubilai Khan.

Virgin and untouched.

I want to admire your maiden face.

You wouldn't want others see what is only yours.

You are right.

Now, come.

I want to finally pluck your fluffy flower.

Hey, let me go.

I am the guest of the great Khan.

Not yet, stranger.

For now you are only a hostage.

Later, we'll see.

You have deceived me, stranger.

Was not your bride a virgin?

She is an impregnable fortress, not a flower ready to be plucked.

Well, you will be glad.

What? What am I supposed to do with...

...such a beautiful maiden, if I cannot possess her?

Should I cut his head, Master?

Not yet. I'll decide later.

I will try again later.

Now let's go and fulfill our task.

I have an empire to administer.

Hey.

Keep your eyes wide open, huh?

Shahara, what happened?

Your ointment was too effective.

The pleasure chest has closed forever.

The Great Khan will disown me.

Then it will be my father who will cut off your head.

I will find a solution.

I will prepare a new ointment capable of undoing

at least partially the effects of the first one.

Thus your flower will become fragile again,

and the Great Khan will be able to pluck it.

Smell how it smells.

It better not be fragile.

Yeah!

It was mine!

I finally caught the fruit.

I am satisfied.

And, you, Venetian,

You deserve a reward.

Ask for anything you want and you'll get it.

I'd just like a pass.

Oh, you'll certainly get it.

And I'll even give you two golden books and servants.

Meat, horses, ...

And everything you want.

Majesty, your favor gladdens my heart.

How much to have brought you a bride, beautiful and virtuous.

Now go, stranger. Farewell.

Did you see that?

Hello.

If you are looking for paradise you have found it, stranger.

I am truly glad to have come to a place

where maidens of such great beauty are found.

You may freely choose the maiden who is to

accompany you to the gardens of paradise.

I want her.

She is Yang Po.

She will open the doors to your forbidden dreams.

Take her hand and follow her.

But then can you not sing?

Play an instrument?

Let me hear you.

I am eager to hear your divine music.

A magnolia petal?

What do you need it for?

Like this.

Look ...

Not bad, huh?

Come on, let's go inside.

And according to the teachings of Grandmaster Kung Fun Tzu,

the virgin Wha-Ging, witness the wise Yan Tse,

takes Ku Seng as her husband,

and will remain faithful to him for life.

I promise it on my ancestors,

I will be faithful to him all my life.

And so be it.

The groom is only a puppet.

Unfortunately, he is just so, stranger.

According to our customs,

if the groom dies on the day before the wedding,

his fiancée ***, must marry his simulacrum.

Ah, ***.

Please, spirits of my ancestors, help me.

You are waiting for someone?

No, who could it be?

I don't know.

Life is sometimes cruel to a young bride,

but I know how to ease your pain.

No one can give me back what fate has taken from me.

If it is the prize of desire that troubles you,

I have with me what is right for you.

Come in, stranger.

Tell me wo you are.

Come.

You are beautiful.

Do not delay to reveal your secret to me.

Here, Madam.

Here is an infusion of very rare herbs from my land.

It has miraculous powers.

It can restore to you the joy of marital pleasures.

How is it possible for this to come?

Listen. You need only pour a few drops of it

on what you have left of your spouse, here.

On the manhood.

And it will magically resume life and vigor.

- Give it here. - No, wait.

First you and your handmaiden must say a prayer to your ancestors.

It will be their benevolence to give efficacy to this infusion.

Are you sure you are not mistaken?

I assure you, on my honor.

But how can I ever repay you?

My reward will come from your sighs of pleasure,

and from your happiness.

But now, Madam, go and say a prayer.

And may the gods be profitable to you.

Let us go immediately, and let's pray to my ancestors.

Oh, ancient ancestors, let me also know happiness.

Where can I hide it?

Quick, let's go try the infusion.

Better to use more.

You go outside and pray to my ancestors.

Yes, Madam, I'll go.

Oh, holy spirit of my beloved spouse,

materialize in this simulacrum...

Oh, this is really powerful.

Prepare yourself...

I want to take the hit...

My dick will be destroyed around me....

I'm coming...

Yes, I'm coming...

I'm coming...

***

Come...

Drink the nectare of my member, my sweetest bride...

Drink...

Oh, you're so beautiful...

Oh, my sweetest bride, did I not tell you that your infusion was...

miraculous.

Then he was recalled by the Great Kahn.

Since you made me yours, I've done nothing but think of you...

I want you.

Your Highness, please.

Again.

My husband...

Wait a moment.

I will never drink this potion.

It is made from herbs which are as bitter as the sky.

I don't want it. Here.

It will do you good, Master.

You must take it.

It will heal you.

Sure.

You must listen to your doctors, Master.

No, no, no way.

I said no!

Give it away. Away!

They are incompetent.

They are charlatans.

And what is this?

It's my hat, Master.

Be more careful where you leave your things, woman.

And you listen, Venitian.

I need medical care.

I need you make an elixir for me.

I need you brew it for me, can you?

That shouldn't be a problem, it'll just take a few days.

No. I want it now. It's an order.

They are the most beautiful virgins in the city.

And now that their bodies are sweaty, look.

Those are the herbs of your doctors that I've made mince.

That's enough now. Come here, all of you. Quick.

Your medicine is ready.

And I think you will like its taste much better,

since to take it you will have to lick the herbs

from the bodies of these virgins.

You had a great idea, Venetian.

This is the sweetest medicine a man can take.

Truly exquisite.

Please...

Come, let's take advantage of the confusion.

Suck me.

Keep on sucking it like this.

You're driving me crazy princess

Hey Venetian!

Venetian, you did great! This is a medicine I can take everyday.

Master, don't be distracted. It's a cure, it's a cure.

Yes, yes, yes.

Keep going.

Good princess, like this.

Like this.

It's so exciting to fuck the great Kahn's favorite...

I see you're helping the great Kahn, Venetian.

Good, keep it up!

Come, come, maidens!

More medicine!

Hey Venetian, I can already feel my sickness is disappearing.

You've been a genius

Ask for anything you want, and you'll get it.

- My gratitude for you will be eternal. - Thank you, Master.

But keep taking your medicine.

Continue...

It's so good like that.

Here, drink from the fountain of pleasure.

Satiate yourself, O my queen. Satiate yourself.

Like this, yes, like this.

Good.

I see you have come to the heavenly prairies, Venetian.

Good, very good, enjoy that girl.

You've earned it, you'll have all the maidens you want.

Come here all, give me more medicine!

Come!

Go now, mingle with the others.

- Hey, what are you doing, leave me alone! - Be quiet.

Maester, here, I give you back your virgin.

Already?

Yes, other engagements call me.

Keep it up, and you'll heal.

See you later, Master.

Thank you for everything, Venetian.

Come, come.

A month of that cure and I'll fulfill my bride's cravings again.

She must have confidence, I am already invigorated.

And the desire, Master.

To make a woman the star that lights a man's wisdom.

Right, but her beauty shouldn't make the man blind.

In which case that man would be lost forever,

With no chance of salvation.

Great truth.

Your wisdom is worthy of you, Master.

And I feel it troubles my spirit.

What's happening?

Has your appetite failed you or does the meal not please you?

No, no, it is excellent, Master.

No, no divine great Kahn...

I have brought us Zhao Lau (?), imperial architect as you have commanded me.

You are late for the construction of the great wall.

For this you will be pilloried.

Take him away.

No, I beg you, no Master, no...

Master, don't punish him, punish me, I'm his bride.

What? What is decided is decided

Oh, please Master...

Yes, it's magnificent...

Huh, I meant to say, I think it's the right thing, Master.

All right, let it be done as the Venetian advises.

Put this woman in the pillory.

Who are you?

- I'm here to ease your pain. - What do you want?

It is not my power to make you free, but

with this brick I have brought you as a gift,

I can at least partially make up for your humiliation.

Moreover, I have brought you another gift.

Venetian? Where is the Venetian? Venetian, what are you doing?

You are abusing a condemned woman.

This crime can only be cleaned with death.

This time you are a foreigner.

Master, you must not be deceived by appearances.

In Venice the pillory is implemented like this.

Really?

You see, in Venice we use that...

Behold... we use that condemned in utmost contempt.

And they are humiliated with of law slap stick.

And I was precisely imparting to that woman a public slap in the face.

You are lying.

I myself saw you ask her to give you her good graces in exchange for a brick.

If this is the custom I will impart a slap and two bricks to her.

All right, Master.

And this law shall be... the law of the empire, I said.

Yes, well, whoever wants to slap you must give you bricks

What a great sacrifice.

Kubilai Khan, this is the great wall you wanted.

Look, it took ten years to build it.

Millions of men worked on it.

And over one hundred million bricks were used.

It is a truly great work architect.

Though a considerable part of the credit belongs to your wife.

Affection for my honorable husband has made my sacrifice light, great Khan.

Now I wish you with your great magnanimity,

will as soon as possible entrust him with another work.

So that I may again help him with my selfless sacrifice.

The oriental concept is always of cue, truly.

Does "willing" or "knowing" matter more in your opinion?

I believe, noble Kubilai Kahn, that never can the will equal the power of science.

Do you believe, Venetian? Just watch.

Do you know a single Westerner who is capable of so much?

If enduring pain is a virtue,

so abstaining from pleasure is also a virtue.

And any Westerner, even I, as your monk,

is capable of occuring both.

Really? I want to test you.

You will have to be able to endure pain,

and then you will also have to resist to pleasure.

No, don't.

Come.

These are all yours.

But these I have? (***)

If you want, brother,

the food is at your disposal. I give up.

Come on, take it.

I'll take care of you all! Come!

Come, Sahara.

Yes my Lord.

I want to see if the Venetian is able to great resistance.

All right.

Well, I've seen it quite enough now.

Well, your conversion to virtue is total.

And I am glad of it.

I must travel to a distant province of the empire,

to manhandle a handful of rebellious rowdies.

And I rightly need one like you,

to whom I entrust my favorite and all my other concubines.

That you may watch over them.

The gods have suggested this choice to you.

Also,

and when I return, you, Venetian, will make the return to your country.

I will give you a gift of a hundred camels laden with gold

if you have been worthy of my trust.

You can go quietly, great Khan.

Your women will be in good hands.

That idiot Venetian...

He just needed to be a holy man right now.

Damn!

I am here my queen.

And you even dare to show your face again.

Well actually I thought you wanted me to help you,

to satisfy your cravings.

Did you not vow yourself to the virtue of abstinence, Venetian?

It was only an act to earn your spouse's trust.

You will not hold it against me for that.

I want!

But not at all, my dear Venetian.

This is the best news you could give me.

Stronger...

So beautiful!

Oh, yes!

If the great Kahn knew that,

you know he'd have you cut off...

...the head.

No, much worse!

Don't even say that for kidding...

Oh, sure, that would be a great shame.

- What would you do without him, Venitian? - Oh no.

The great Kahn is back!

His banners can already be seen.

You know, it's been too long since I've been away from home.

But what are you doing?

I'd better get on the road soon, yes?

Already you want to go back to Venice?

Eh, yes, I forgot that I have an appointment with the Doge.

But I'll be back one day, yes, don't worry.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye...

Goodbye, Venetian!

Where is the Venetian?

He's gone back to his country.

Sure, he's a great man.

He even gave up his prize.

He is a unique man.

A foreigner with the temper of a Tatar.

An iron temper, isn't that right, my dears?

Yes, an iron temper.

Cheer up, my wives!

Now I'll take care of you and I'll make you please!

Come on, smile, my favorite, your abstinence is over.

And now I'm all yours, my beloveds!
