[Love & Crown]

01:28.223 --> 01:29.983
[Adapted from the novel "My Queen" by Xie Lounan]

01:29.983 --> 01:32.983
[Episode 33]

01:33.783 --> 01:34.743
How is Mr. Li?

01:39.063 --> 01:39.863
Don't worry.

01:40.303 --> 01:41.863
He's fine now.

01:44.143 --> 01:46.623
Mr. Li is truly blessed by the heavens.

01:46.863 --> 01:48.463
He's not destined to die here.

01:49.503 --> 01:50.423
Your Majesty,

01:50.783 --> 01:51.903
Mr. Li is out of danger.

01:52.583 --> 01:53.543
The name of Ghost King

01:53.703 --> 01:55.063
is now renowned across the martial world.

01:55.423 --> 01:57.823
Judging by the relationship between Lingbi Sect and Nanrong Palace,

01:58.303 --> 02:00.303
I suspect that the assassination of Li Chengtian is just the start.

02:01.343 --> 02:03.023
Instead of letting Lingbi Sect teach us what to do,

02:03.303 --> 02:04.943
we should act on our own initiative.

02:11.423 --> 02:12.503
Greetings, Young Lady.

02:16.383 --> 02:17.783
You all were once my father's subordinates.

02:18.263 --> 02:18.903
Now,

02:19.463 --> 02:20.903
Father has been killed by a despicable villain.

02:21.983 --> 02:23.183
Although she's the Imperial Preceptor,

02:23.863 --> 02:25.023
she has complete control of the court

02:25.023 --> 02:25.943
and has plunged the world into chaos.

02:26.263 --> 02:27.943
We have to rectify the situation as soon as possible.

02:28.423 --> 02:30.463
I've sent my men to summon Jueding back to the palace.

02:31.143 --> 02:32.783
Were there any strange movements within the court

02:32.823 --> 02:33.863
or the martial world?

02:35.183 --> 02:36.183
My Lady,

02:36.423 --> 02:39.383
a rumor has been circulating within the martial world.

02:41.423 --> 02:42.383
What rumor?

02:42.863 --> 02:44.183
The Ghost King has appeared.

02:48.423 --> 02:48.983
All right.

02:49.543 --> 02:50.343
I understand.

02:51.023 --> 02:51.783
You all may go.

02:52.583 --> 02:53.143
Yes, My Lady.

03:10.863 --> 03:12.143
The Ghost King of Lingbi

03:12.303 --> 03:14.343
was no more after Master's passing.

03:14.863 --> 03:16.823
Where did this new Ghost King come from?

03:23.303 --> 03:24.223
Could it be...

03:28.143 --> 03:30.583
Although this is a branch of Lingbi Sect,

03:31.023 --> 03:31.823
the Ghost King

03:32.303 --> 03:33.463
is here.

03:33.863 --> 03:35.863
That means this branch is the most prominent.

03:36.423 --> 03:38.183
You all have joined us as fresh maidservants.

03:38.823 --> 03:40.583
You all must obey the rules.

03:40.783 --> 03:41.663
Understood?

03:41.783 --> 03:42.623
Yes, madam.

04:18.543 --> 04:19.703
What are you doing here?

04:25.983 --> 04:27.143
It's all my fault.

04:27.183 --> 04:28.023
I got lost

04:28.183 --> 04:29.263
by accident.

04:29.303 --> 04:29.863
Go away!

04:30.503 --> 04:31.303
Yes, madam.

04:37.863 --> 04:39.343
How dare you leave the team without permission?

04:39.623 --> 04:41.503
And, you almost barged into the sect's sacred ground as well.

04:41.863 --> 04:43.423
It seems you have a death wish.

04:44.183 --> 04:45.543
You shall kneel and hold this lantern the entire night.

04:45.543 --> 04:47.063
Reflect upon your actions.

04:47.103 --> 04:47.783
Yes, madam.

04:48.543 --> 04:49.943
You're quite a handful, aren't you?

04:50.303 --> 04:51.063
Don't worry.

04:51.663 --> 04:54.343
The wax of the Tear-Concealing Candle burns like fire.

04:55.063 --> 04:56.703
You'll just get a minor burn.

06:03.543 --> 06:04.503
Sir,

06:04.743 --> 06:06.023
Ghost King has been waiting for you.

06:06.543 --> 06:07.423
Please follow me.

07:03.543 --> 07:04.343
Was that him?

07:59.303 --> 08:00.063
Commander,

08:00.103 --> 08:01.263
are we supposed to hide like cowards?

08:01.663 --> 08:02.423
Save your breath.

08:02.743 --> 08:03.703
This is His Majesty's instruction.

08:03.743 --> 08:04.103
Yes, Commander.

08:59.943 --> 09:01.823
He does possess the Moon-Eclipse, huh?

09:20.703 --> 09:21.663
Saintess,

09:22.063 --> 09:23.423
should we acknowledge the Ghost King?

09:23.943 --> 09:25.383
Do you know what this is?

09:26.303 --> 09:27.143
It's a willow tree.

09:27.463 --> 09:28.503
This willow

09:29.583 --> 09:31.143
is called Heartless Willow.

09:32.063 --> 09:33.023
On top of it

09:34.143 --> 09:36.383
are countless Heartbane Bugs.

09:50.783 --> 09:51.583
Saintess!

09:52.383 --> 09:53.263
What are you afraid of?

09:54.063 --> 09:55.343
You were already poisoned.

09:56.383 --> 09:57.143
Do you think

09:57.663 --> 09:58.903
I'll poison you again?

09:59.663 --> 10:01.343
I swear eternal loyalty to you, Saintess.

10:05.463 --> 10:07.743
You guys aren't loyal to me.

10:07.943 --> 10:09.183
You guys are loyal to these bugs.

10:10.423 --> 10:13.623
The Moon-Eclipse is the most potent poison I've created.

10:14.663 --> 10:16.663
That's also exactly what I wanted.

10:17.783 --> 10:19.143
The Ghost King has resurfaced.

10:20.823 --> 10:22.783
If he does possess the Moon-Eclipse,

10:23.943 --> 10:24.863
that means

10:25.663 --> 10:27.783
he'll be my personal possession.

10:30.463 --> 10:32.663
So, you met the ghostly messenger under her?

10:32.663 --> 10:33.463
Indeed.

10:34.063 --> 10:35.463
Target her.

10:35.703 --> 10:37.423
She's the most loyal ghostly messenger under her.

10:37.703 --> 10:39.303
Are you sure we can take advantage of her?

10:41.103 --> 10:41.863
One can never truly

10:42.023 --> 10:44.383
dominate people with poison.

10:46.023 --> 10:47.423
Once we obtain the antidote,

10:47.623 --> 10:49.463
the Saintess will meet her end.

10:50.783 --> 10:51.503
Hongqing,

10:51.583 --> 10:53.223
they want to get rid of Li Chengtian.

10:53.783 --> 10:55.823
If so, I must let them suffer as well.

11:01.663 --> 11:02.783
Clear this place out for me.

11:03.823 --> 11:05.263
[Shangyang Street, Linhai Alley]
Prepare to return to the Sacred Hall.

11:06.103 --> 11:06.703
Yes, Your Majesty.

11:09.103 --> 11:14.023
[One with Heaven and Earth]

11:14.023 --> 11:14.783
Saintess,

11:15.263 --> 11:16.623
we found one of Fenglai Pavilion's bases

11:16.623 --> 11:18.343
according to the leads on the silver coin.

11:18.383 --> 11:20.823
But the place was already empty when we got there.

11:21.103 --> 11:22.423
They even set up explosive traps,

11:22.463 --> 11:24.063
causing us to suffer countless casualties.

11:24.143 --> 11:25.663
I managed to survive narrowly.

11:26.023 --> 11:27.463
First, they robbed you guys.

11:27.503 --> 11:28.863
After that, they gave you guys fake leads

11:29.223 --> 11:31.663
to lure you into the traps they had set up at Fenglai Pavilion.

11:31.983 --> 11:33.383
This bait-and-switch move

11:34.103 --> 11:35.383
was executed brilliantly. Don't you think?

11:36.863 --> 11:37.743
I deserve to die because of my fault!

11:37.743 --> 11:40.023
I'm sure an expert is guiding them from behind.

11:40.863 --> 11:43.103
I've underestimated Fenglai Pavilion.

11:43.503 --> 11:45.983
Our sect has suffered heavy losses.

11:46.263 --> 11:49.023
It seems unlikely that we can rival Fenglai Pavilion in the future.

11:51.863 --> 11:53.103
Go and notify the Ghost King.

11:54.623 --> 11:56.863
Tell him I shall welcome him myself.

11:57.223 --> 11:57.983
Yes, Saintess.

12:06.903 --> 12:08.623
As per your request, these are the leaves of Heartless Willow.

12:11.903 --> 12:13.263
The Ghost King will surely

12:13.783 --> 12:14.783
keep his promise to you.

12:22.503 --> 12:23.263
Your Majesty,

12:23.903 --> 12:24.983
will this actually work?

12:25.143 --> 12:27.103
As far as we currently understand,

12:27.383 --> 12:28.343
since the Heartbane Bugs

12:28.463 --> 12:30.063
were raised on this plant,

12:30.743 --> 12:31.663
it's likely

12:32.023 --> 12:33.743
that it's the key to creating the antidote.

12:35.743 --> 12:36.983
Hand them to Imperial Physician Li.

12:38.023 --> 12:38.863
Yes, Your Majesty.

12:42.743 --> 12:46.783
[Yaoqing Hall]

12:54.783 --> 12:55.703
Ms. Yan.

12:56.023 --> 12:57.103
Look at me.

12:57.863 --> 12:59.623
Do I look like a princess now?

13:01.663 --> 13:03.223
Madam, in your current getup,

13:03.383 --> 13:04.623
you look more elegant

13:04.743 --> 13:06.103
than a princess.

13:12.143 --> 13:13.343
From today onward,

13:14.263 --> 13:16.263
my ears will finally get some peace and quiet.

13:17.103 --> 13:18.463
I don't think anyone in the court

13:18.503 --> 13:20.383
will go against me again.

13:21.023 --> 13:21.823
Yes, Madam.

13:25.263 --> 13:27.143
Have you prepared the items meant for the Saintess?

13:27.663 --> 13:30.063
We have already scoured every corner for gold and treasures

13:30.263 --> 13:32.823
to help Lingbi Sect expand their territory.

13:33.783 --> 13:34.983
But I'm afraid

13:35.383 --> 13:37.463
we'll cause public unrest if we keep doing so.

13:37.863 --> 13:38.863
What are you afraid of?

13:40.383 --> 13:43.023
Xiao Huan wants to abolish the status verification system

13:43.143 --> 13:45.223
so that the people won't need to suffer because of taxes.

13:45.903 --> 13:48.103
But I? I insist upon the old ways.

13:48.623 --> 13:51.063
As for the Great Qi he wishes to protect,

13:53.343 --> 13:54.303
I'm going to demolish it,

13:55.263 --> 13:57.583
bit by bit.

14:13.263 --> 14:14.183
Xiao Qianqing.

14:15.103 --> 14:16.223
You have to be able to differentiate

14:16.263 --> 14:17.263
between right and wrong.

14:17.743 --> 14:18.823
So what if you do ascend the throne?

14:18.863 --> 14:20.383
What do you think people will think about you?

14:20.503 --> 14:22.303
You'll truly become a villain who usurped the throne by killing your brother!

14:22.863 --> 14:24.143
Qianqing, do you like the present

14:24.503 --> 14:25.583
I gave you?

14:27.623 --> 14:29.423
will cut all ties.

14:44.903 --> 14:47.383
Your Highness, you didn't attend the morning court session.

14:47.783 --> 14:49.223
It turns out that you're here,

14:49.503 --> 14:50.943
fretting over your lost love.

14:52.943 --> 14:53.863
Preceptor Du,

14:55.063 --> 14:56.823
you should mind your own business.

14:57.663 --> 14:58.863
I don't mind

14:59.783 --> 15:02.143
getting another obedient lackey from Nanrong Palace

15:02.823 --> 15:03.743
and allowing him

15:04.503 --> 15:05.943
to enjoy the fun of being the next Imperial Preceptor.

15:09.383 --> 15:10.503
I came to find you

15:11.023 --> 15:12.663
because I have some business

15:13.943 --> 15:15.743
with you.

15:30.423 --> 15:31.423
Du Tingxin!

15:36.183 --> 15:37.783
You think I don't dare to kill you?

15:45.663 --> 15:47.583
If you capture a bird with a fiery personality,

15:48.383 --> 15:50.743
there's no way you can trap it in a cage.

15:51.663 --> 15:53.583
It'll think of everything it can to escape.

15:53.703 --> 15:55.223
It will only give up after ramming itself to death

15:55.543 --> 15:56.663
in the cage.

16:05.703 --> 16:07.343
Your Highness, please be appeased.

16:08.903 --> 16:10.343
But I have a way

16:10.903 --> 16:12.423
for you to keep her by your side.

16:28.183 --> 16:29.703
I can turn her

16:29.863 --> 16:32.023
into your personal doll.

16:32.703 --> 16:33.503
She'll be obedient,

16:33.543 --> 16:34.263
charming,

16:34.303 --> 16:35.743
and will only answer to you.

16:36.423 --> 16:38.023
She won't betray you

16:38.303 --> 16:40.183
no matter what happens.

16:40.903 --> 16:42.023
And, from now on,

16:42.423 --> 16:43.583
you're the only thing in the world

16:44.663 --> 16:46.063
that matters to her.

16:51.023 --> 16:53.623
In the future, you can dress her up like your personal doll.

16:54.063 --> 16:55.863
She'll smile and cry

16:55.903 --> 16:57.183
when you want her to.

16:57.183 --> 16:58.623
If you tell her to say "I love you",

16:58.743 --> 17:00.183
she'll say it...

17:02.863 --> 17:05.303
for all eternity.

17:26.103 --> 17:26.863
Physician Li,

17:27.463 --> 17:28.743
I brought a buddy of mine to test your medicine...

17:28.743 --> 17:30.663
Do not speak!

17:50.823 --> 17:51.823
It's completed!

17:52.383 --> 17:54.303
Hurry and feed your buddy with it.

17:54.623 --> 17:55.223
Okay.

17:56.503 --> 17:57.023
Here.

18:10.583 --> 18:11.303
How can this be?

18:12.063 --> 18:13.863
Try ringing the Heartbane Bell.

18:27.663 --> 18:28.983
My heart no longer hurts.

18:29.103 --> 18:29.823
Young man,

18:29.823 --> 18:31.183
are you sure about that?

18:31.503 --> 18:33.023
Yes, sir.

18:34.183 --> 18:34.943
I succeeded.

18:35.063 --> 18:35.783
I succeeded!

18:35.943 --> 18:36.903
- You actually succeeded. - Yeah!

18:36.903 --> 18:38.463
We finally managed to live up to His Majesty's expectations

18:38.583 --> 18:39.903
and created the antidote to Heartbane.

18:39.903 --> 18:42.423
Hurry and produce the antidote according to this prescription.

18:42.823 --> 18:43.343
Yes, sir.

18:48.463 --> 18:49.903
You guys actually succeeded.

18:49.903 --> 18:51.223
Ghost King will never

18:51.423 --> 18:52.463
go back on his promise.

18:53.103 --> 18:54.263
Why are you guys helping us out?

18:54.663 --> 18:55.583
Ghost King said

18:55.783 --> 18:57.543
that one can never truly dominate people with poison.

18:59.583 --> 19:02.383
Someone said the same thing to me once.

19:03.943 --> 19:04.743
Who is it?

19:05.503 --> 19:06.583
It's a friend of mine.

19:07.063 --> 19:07.903
Her name is Dienu.

19:08.823 --> 19:10.703
She was also once a member of Lingbi Sect.

19:11.343 --> 19:12.263
But now,

19:12.583 --> 19:14.663
no one remembers her name anymore.

19:15.583 --> 19:17.223
She's already dead.

19:17.703 --> 19:18.863
She was killed by Heartbane

19:19.103 --> 19:20.583
in her attempt to regain freedom.

19:21.423 --> 19:23.223
She once told me to escape with her.

19:23.223 --> 19:24.823
But I was terrified of the heart-consuming pain.

19:24.863 --> 19:25.703
I betrayed her.

19:25.703 --> 19:26.463
Don't tell me

19:26.823 --> 19:28.783
you would rather be affected by Heartbane for the rest of your life.

19:29.463 --> 19:30.743
Between freedom and life,

19:30.823 --> 19:31.623
make your choice.

19:34.623 --> 19:36.663
She chose to protect her freedom

19:36.863 --> 19:38.303
by jumping off the cliff

19:39.423 --> 19:41.063
while I managed to get by,

19:41.383 --> 19:42.663
albeit leading a regretful life.

19:43.983 --> 19:45.343
It's all in the past now.

19:46.863 --> 19:47.623
Is that so?

19:48.823 --> 19:50.543
Perhaps everything would've been different

19:51.823 --> 19:53.663
had I encountered Ghost King sooner.

19:57.183 --> 19:57.983
Your Majesty,

19:58.903 --> 20:00.183
everything has been arranged for.

20:01.583 --> 20:02.343
Excellent.

20:03.663 --> 20:05.143
The day we storm the Sacred Hall

20:05.383 --> 20:07.143
is the day of the Saintess's death.

20:07.983 --> 20:09.503
As per your instructions,

20:09.703 --> 20:11.023
I've jotted down

20:11.063 --> 20:11.943
her food preferences, address,

20:11.943 --> 20:12.863
hobbies, habits,

20:12.903 --> 20:14.183
everything that's related to her.

20:18.663 --> 20:20.903
[Daily Necessities: Pear blossom, especially fond of honey puffs]

20:20.903 --> 20:22.343
But are these details actually important?

20:23.183 --> 20:24.303
I thought we were going to...

20:25.623 --> 20:26.423
Pear blossom?

20:26.783 --> 20:28.823
[Especially fond of honey puffs]

20:29.223 --> 20:30.903
Fond of honey puffs?

20:32.263 --> 20:33.063
What's the matter?

20:36.903 --> 20:37.663
It's nothing.

20:38.263 --> 20:39.063
Where's Cangcang?

20:40.743 --> 20:42.423
Her Majesty is still trying to locate you.

20:43.503 --> 20:44.703
How's the situation in the palace?

20:45.183 --> 20:46.823
Prince of Yuzhang acted as if he had no interest in handling court affairs.

20:47.183 --> 20:48.503
But after my investigation, I found out

20:48.663 --> 20:50.263
he has already transferred his personal guards in Southern Chu

20:50.263 --> 20:51.143
to the Capital secretly.

20:51.223 --> 20:54.383
[Changhe Gate]

21:04.423 --> 21:04.863
Your Highness.

21:04.983 --> 21:05.583
What's wrong?

21:07.143 --> 21:08.503
Princess Zhong Lin was taken away by the Imperial Preceptor.

23:11.743 --> 23:12.703
Zhong Lin,

23:13.663 --> 23:15.143
what are you up to?

23:23.223 --> 23:24.263
Xiao Qianqing.

23:25.583 --> 23:26.783
Please don't attempt such folly.

23:27.343 --> 23:28.583
Let me go.

23:28.983 --> 23:31.383
Trust me. I won't bring harm to you.

23:31.943 --> 23:32.983
If so, in the future, we can still...

23:32.983 --> 23:34.743
I don't want to wait any longer.

23:35.863 --> 23:37.263
Let me go.

23:43.823 --> 23:45.823
Aunt Chan served Mother.

23:45.903 --> 23:47.143
And now, she's missing.

23:48.703 --> 23:50.303
If you want to show me the truth,

23:51.423 --> 23:52.903
you must present your evidence.

24:02.463 --> 24:03.303
Arrest the assassin!

24:03.463 --> 24:04.463
- Hurry! - Hurry!

24:08.343 --> 24:09.223
We were late to your rescue.

24:09.223 --> 24:10.263
Your Highness, please pardon us!

24:14.903 --> 24:15.903
Relay my order.

24:16.263 --> 24:17.943
Zhong Lin tried to assassinate me.

24:18.303 --> 24:19.503
Seal off all the palace gates.

24:20.263 --> 24:21.143
Arrest the assassin.

24:21.503 --> 24:22.183
Yes, Your Highness!

24:29.463 --> 24:30.023

24:31.703 --> 24:32.263

24:36.703 --> 24:37.703
Search over there!

24:37.703 --> 24:38.903
You guys, follow me!

24:43.383 --> 24:44.423
Did you guys find her?

24:44.583 --> 24:45.343
Not yet.

24:45.623 --> 24:48.423
Dispatch all of the Imperial Guards.

24:49.383 --> 24:50.423
Find her

24:50.943 --> 24:52.703
at all costs.

24:52.703 --> 24:53.343
Yes, Your Highness!

25:01.663 --> 25:02.183
Your Highness.

25:02.663 --> 25:04.383
Escort Zhong Lin out of the palace in secret.

25:04.863 --> 25:05.343
Yes, Your Highness.

25:05.623 --> 25:07.063
I also made a discovery just now.

25:07.183 --> 25:08.143
Preceptor Du has left the palace.

25:28.063 --> 25:28.823
Stop right there!

25:50.423 --> 25:51.223
You,

25:52.263 --> 25:53.343
wait here for me.

26:16.023 --> 26:18.303
This is the Prison of Thousand Threads that I had awakened with your blood.

26:18.543 --> 26:19.903
Keep it for ten days.

26:21.103 --> 26:23.983
After that, put it in the body of the person you wish to control.

26:24.823 --> 26:27.463
The target will lose consciousness

26:27.863 --> 26:29.503
and fall under your complete control eventually.

26:35.303 --> 26:36.543
Thank you, Saintess.

26:46.783 --> 26:47.983
Saintess, I always wanted

26:48.503 --> 26:49.783
to ask you a question.

26:51.343 --> 26:52.103
What is it?

26:52.903 --> 26:54.303
Why go out of your way to help me?

26:55.103 --> 26:57.383
Is it only because I'm the daughter of your savior?

27:07.503 --> 27:08.263
Xin,

27:09.183 --> 27:11.103
I may have lost most of my memories,

27:12.303 --> 27:14.303
but I never forgot about your mother.

27:24.263 --> 27:25.183
Back then,

27:26.023 --> 27:28.103
I was just a junior disciple in Lingbi Sect.

27:29.663 --> 27:30.463
But your mother?

27:31.263 --> 27:32.943
She was the most spiritually gifted sacred maiden

27:33.143 --> 27:35.503
chosen from the Imperial family.

27:36.783 --> 27:38.823
Even so, we were the best of friends.

27:39.583 --> 27:41.023
Sui and I

27:41.823 --> 27:43.223
roamed the lands with our swords.

27:43.983 --> 27:45.023
Those days were satisfying

27:45.983 --> 27:47.743
to say the least.

28:04.583 --> 28:05.343
Sui.

28:07.783 --> 28:08.583
What actually happened

28:10.503 --> 28:12.023
all these years?

28:15.263 --> 28:17.743
How come I can't remember any of them?

28:20.023 --> 28:21.023
The elders said

28:22.583 --> 28:24.343
I went berserk while trying to master

28:25.503 --> 28:26.663
the divine art of Lingbi,

28:27.063 --> 28:28.223
causing me to lose my memories.

28:30.183 --> 28:30.983
But,

28:32.583 --> 28:35.383
it felt like I've lost much more than that.

28:38.823 --> 28:39.823
What are they?

28:44.783 --> 28:47.743
What exactly have I lost?

29:03.783 --> 29:04.743
Who is he?

29:06.583 --> 29:08.383
Who is this child?

29:10.863 --> 29:12.623
Why does he

29:13.783 --> 29:15.223
keep appearing in my head?

29:19.503 --> 29:20.263
Your Highness,

29:20.343 --> 29:21.103
this is a list of palace maids

29:21.103 --> 29:22.583
found in Nanrong Palace.

29:36.183 --> 29:36.863
Preceptor Du,

29:37.743 --> 29:40.423
our scouts managed to track down Ling Cangcang's whereabouts on the outskirts.

29:40.823 --> 29:42.583
We've already dispatched our men to capture her.

29:53.343 --> 29:54.023
Zhong Lin.

29:54.263 --> 29:56.223
Hand this letter to Xiao Qianqing.

29:56.583 --> 29:57.663
Hurry and leave!

29:57.663 --> 29:58.183
Just go!

29:58.183 --> 29:58.903
Cangcang!

30:00.183 --> 30:00.743
Over there!

30:38.423 --> 30:39.223
It's you?

30:40.583 --> 30:41.943
Did he tell you to rescue me?

30:41.983 --> 30:42.743
Where is he?

30:44.103 --> 30:44.983
I don't know.

30:45.023 --> 30:45.783
You don't know?

30:46.583 --> 30:48.343
Why is he avoiding me?

30:49.023 --> 30:49.783

this is an order.

34:52.223 --> 34:53.023
Indeed.

34:53.623 --> 34:55.543
Heartbane, the poison that I've invented,

34:56.303 --> 34:57.583
it has no cure.

Why am I the only one who has had to take medicine from a young age?

37:19.983 --> 37:21.223
It's all my fault.

37:22.983 --> 37:24.903
I failed to protect you.

Why must it be him?

38:23.143 --> 38:24.783
Why must he suffer like this?

38:25.663 --> 38:27.303
You have to leave the palace as soon as possible.

is to drink this.

Kill me.

39:37.263 --> 39:39.263
Kill me if you dare.

39:50.463 --> 39:52.663
just because you've defeated me?

You're getting ahead of yourself.
