00:00Your Majesty.
00:06Summon the eldest Prince Aurelius, Aurelius, to hand over the military power to General Monty,
00:12and immediately return to the capital from the border.
00:18The Imperial Edict is ready, Your Majesty. Please review it.
00:30Issue it after stamping the Imperial Seal.
00:33Yes.
00:34You may leave.
00:38Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
00:42Where is the Celestial Physician?
00:44He will arrive in a few days, Your Majesty. Don't worry. With the Celestial Physician, you will be fine.
00:50Even with the Celestial Physician, I can only live a few more days. I have a terminal illness.
00:56I am just worried about the future Crown Prince of Samaria.
01:01Your Majesty, haven't you already decided to summon the eldest Prince back to the capital?
01:06Aurelius is capable, but stubborn. Yet kind. I fear he may struggle to manage the overall situation.
01:14Mordecai has a good personality, but lacks ability.
01:19I summoned Aurelius back to the capital, just to see if his personality has been tempered.
01:26Mr. Samuel, do you really want Aurelius to ascend the throne, since he's been guarding the border?
01:33He has repeatedly levied taxes on the gentry.
01:36If he ascends the throne, the gentry will never have a day of peace, Mr. Samuel.
01:40You are the second Prince Mordecai's teacher.
01:43If Mordecai ascends the throne, it will be beneficial for both of us.
01:47How can I trust you?
01:48Mr. Samuel, Aurelius was very dissatisfied with me.
01:51When he left the capital, he even threatened to take my life upon his return.
01:56If he ascends the throne, I will have no way to live.
01:59Aurelius commands an army of 600,000.
02:01Mr. Samuel, Aurelius is foolishly loyal.
02:05If there is an imperial edict from His Majesty, he will commit suicide.
02:09His Majesty only has half a month to live, and the round trip to the capital will take more than a month.
02:16Mr. Samuel.
02:17I will kill you!
02:29These fragmented memories tell me that.
02:33I've traveled to the Sumeria dynasty, and become the exiled eldest Prince Aurelius.
02:38Five years ago, due to political disagreements with the Emperor, I was exiled to guard the border.
02:43The second Prince Mordecai and I are vying for the throne.
02:46He constantly tries to kill me.
02:48But why are these memories incomplete?
02:53Your Highness!
02:54You're finally awake!
02:55Who?
02:56Who are you?
02:57Your Highness!
02:58It's me, Monty!
02:59Did you lose your memory from the fall?
03:02Monty?
03:03The Imperial Edict has arrived.
03:05By order of the Emperor of Sumeria, Mr. Aurelius, deceived the Emperor and disregarded the law, acted recklessly and unlawfully, and oppressed the people against my will.
03:24For the sake of the Sumerian mountains and rivers, I bestow this sword for you to commit suicide.
03:33Nonsense!
03:33How could His Majesty order the Prince's death?
03:35Monty!
03:36Monty!
03:36The Imperial Edict is here!
03:37What do you intend to do?
03:38Monty!
03:38The next step is to have the Prince commit suicide.
03:40Based on his past filial piety and foolish loyalty, he will definitely commit suicide.
03:42Monty!
03:43Monty!
03:44Monty!
03:45Monty!
03:46Monty!

04:29Monty!
04:30Monty!
04:31Monty!
04:32Monty!
04:34Is he telling the truth?
04:35His majesty did this to train you. He specifically gave you the 600,000 troops in the north.
04:39I have 600,000 troops!
04:42And you still want to execute me!
04:44Mr. Aurelius, what are you trying to do? Hand over the tiger tally immediately.
04:49Talon, you are really putting me in a difficult position.
04:53You!
04:53Someone!
04:55Talon forged the Imperial Edict to execute me. Take him out and execute him!
05:00You are rebelling!
05:01Your Highness, this death warrant must be forged. No matter what, his majesty, would never execute you.
05:14Who do you think would be the one to benefit most from my death?
05:18For now.
05:18We suddenly received this edict. There must be something going on in the capital. I have to go back to the capital.
05:24You gather the food and supplies and march south with the army.
05:27Yes, your highness. But after returning to the capital, your highness, you should first go to see Duke Caspar.
05:33You and Mr. Caspar's daughter, Cecilia, are betrothed. And Caspar is devoted to the country.
05:39Got it.
05:40It has been a month. Father is still alive, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Isaac. What should we do?
05:48Now his majesty has found a celestial physician to treat him. I'm afraid this is troublesome.
05:55Aurelius must have committed suicide by now. If this news reaches his majesty's ears, we are all doomed.
06:01Then we might as well go all the way, Justin.
06:10Your highness, what do you think?
06:13Kill him! If father doesn't die, it would have been my head that rolled.
06:19Master, the latest news.
06:21Mr. Aurelius entered the city half an hour ago and sent a visiting card to Duke Caspar.
06:26He will officially visit tomorrow, Duke Caspar.
06:28I see and you may leave.
06:35Aurelius didn't commit suicide and he's back in the capital, so we cannot make a move on his majesty anymore.
06:40Otherwise...
06:41We'll just be playing into Aurelius' hands.
06:43Mr. Samuel, what should we do if Aurelius tells father about the death warrant?
06:47I'm finished.
06:50Then let's kill with another's hand.
06:53Your highness, I need you to handle this matter.
06:56Me!
06:58Mr. Mordecai, who allowed you into my room, get out!
07:10What if I don't want to?
07:12You smell nice. I like it.
07:24Get out of here!
07:26My father is Duke Caspar. My fiancé is your older brother.
07:29If you dare to do anything, his majesty will not spare you.
07:32If your father wasn't Duke Caspar, I wouldn't be here.
07:34You... what do you mean?
07:36Your father controls the strongest left imperial guards in the capital having you is equivalent to having his support.
07:44Wouldn't my throne be secure then?
07:46Aurelius!
07:56Aurelius!
07:57I will kill you!
07:58Aurelius, to spill blood inside the main hall! Do you want to die?
08:18I don't know if I'll die, but you forged the imperial edict to execute me and insulted my fiancé.
08:23You are definitely dead!
08:25Aurelius!
08:26Aurelius!
08:28That's the Hall of Supreme Harmony! And the Golden Throne Hall! You can't chase after him with a sword!
08:37Your majesty, the crown prince position has been vacant for a long time.
08:42Please appoint the crown prince soon to solidify the foundation of the country.
08:46I have two sons. My eldest son is exceptionally capable, but has flaws in his character.
08:50My second son lacks ability, but has a good character, Mr. Samuel.
08:54Who do you think can be the crown prince?
08:56Naturally, it should be Mr. Mordecai as the crown prince.
09:00A ruler should prioritize virtue.
09:03Lack of ability can be supplemented by support from ministers, but character flaws are irreparable.
09:10Your majesty, we implore to appoint Mr. Mordecai as the crown prince to stabilize the nation.
09:19Your majesty, I think we should appoint Mr. Aurelius as the heir apparent.
09:23Mr. Casper, you need to think this through. Appointing Mr. Mordecai as crown prince is the general consensus.
09:30I've thought it through.
09:32Mr. Casper, tell us your reasons.
09:33Your majesty, the national treasury is currently strained.
09:37Natural disasters are frequent.
09:39The number of refugees has surged.
09:41Border conflicts are serious.
09:43In these turbulent times, we must choose a wise and capable prince as heir apparent.
09:47From what Mr. Casper said, it seems that Mr. Mordecai is not wise.
09:52Don't be hasty, Mr. Samuel. Let Mr. Casper finish.
09:55Back then, Mr. Aurelius amazed the world with his talent.
09:59Now, after five years defending the border, his abilities are even more exceptional.
10:04Mr. Mordecai has yet to have such experience.
10:07How can he be appointed the crown prince?
10:09Casper is right.
10:10As long as Aurelius completes this final test, he will be the best successor of Samaria.
10:14Mr. Casper, your words are biased.
10:17Although Mr. Mordecai lacks such experience, he has a flexible personality.
10:22Whereas Mr. Aurelius is rigid and short-tempered.
10:25Aurelius, this is really a misunderstanding.
10:28Misunderstanding my ass, I'm going to kill you today.
10:30Father, save me!
10:31Father, save me!
10:41Aurelius, stop right now!
10:44Father, Mordecai is acting recklessly.
10:48After I execute him, I will explain everything to you.
10:51Insolent, do you even recognize my authority?
10:54I sent you away for five years of training, and this is how you've trained.
11:00Father, do you know what happened?
11:02Regardless of what he did, there is no justification for you chasing Mr. Mordecai through the main hall with a sword.
11:08What if he was trying to break into Duke Casper's mansion to insult me?
11:13Your Majesty.
11:14You just said Mordecai insulted you.
11:16Today, let me test Aurelius.
11:18Let's see if five years at the border have made him a worthy heir.
11:22This morning, Mordecai forced his way into my chambers and insulted me.
11:26If it weren't for Mr. Aurelius, I would have lost my chastity.
11:29Nonsense, Mr. Mordecai is intelligent, loyal, humble, and courteous.
11:34He would never do such a thing.
11:35So, Mr. Samuel, you mean I would risk my reputation to falsely accuse Mr. Mordecai?
11:40Tell me honestly, did you do it?
11:42Father, Cecilia seduced me.
11:45I refused her.
11:46But then Aurelius came charging in with his sword,
11:49accusing me and Cecilia of indecent behavior.
11:53Mordecai insulted me and is now shifting the blame.
11:56Your Majesty, I beg you to give me justice.
11:59Otherwise, I will prove my innocence with my life.
12:02Cecilia is my fiancée.
12:03Why would she seduce you?
12:06Ask your fiancée.
12:07Why are you asking me?
12:09What a coward!
12:09Unable to own up your actions!
12:11Silence!
12:15First, tell me.
12:16Why were you at Duke Casper's mansion?
12:19Father, I heard Aurelius had returned.
12:21I wanted to see him this morning.
12:23But he wasn't at his residence.
12:24I heard he was at Duke Casper's mansion.
12:27So I went there too.
12:28Your Majesty, I have a theory.
12:30Please forgive my presumption.
12:32Speak freely.
12:33Your Majesty, I think it's a plot by Mr. Aurelius.
12:39A plot?
12:40How can you say that?
12:41Your Majesty, Mr. Aurelius, in order to seize the Crown Prince position,
12:45set up a plot.
12:46If I want to fight for the Crown Prince position,
12:48do I need my fiancée to seduce him?
12:52Who does he think he is?
12:54Isaac, as a eunuch, you dare to discuss state affairs.
12:56You deserve to die for this crime.
12:58Insolence, let Isaac speak.
12:59Go on.
13:00Your Majesty, everyone knows Mr. Aurelius has a bad temper.
13:04And five years ago, he angered you and was banished to the border.
13:08He has no hope of inheriting the throne.
13:10However, Mr. Mordecai is humble, thoughtful, and loyal.
13:14Appointing him the Crown Prince is what everyone expects.
13:17So Mr. Aurelius wants to kill Mr. Mordecai.
13:20This is the crime of fratricide.
13:22Insolence!
13:23It's my business!
13:24When does a eunuch like you to talk nonsense here?
13:26Nonsense!
13:27All the officials in the court saw you chasing Mr. Mordecai with a sword.
13:31You call this nonsense?
13:33Enough silence.
13:35This is not the Crown Prince I want.
13:37Let me push you one more time.
13:39For this matter, none of you can provide evidence.
13:42Fortunately, Miss Cecilia is unharmed.
13:44Let's put an end to this matter.
13:45Since it is father's will, then I will obey, I wonder, Aurelius.
13:51I don't agree.
13:53Your majesty, in your eyes, is my reputation such a small matter?
13:57Mordecai!
13:58Although you are a prince, my daughter's reputation is not something to be slandered.
14:02His majesty has issued a decree.
14:04Are you going to disobey the imperial decree?
14:07His majesty has already overlooked Mr. Aurelius bringing a sword to the hall to harm his own kin.
14:12It is already a great mercy.
14:13What more do you want?
14:14You insulted my fiancée, and you think this is over?
14:18It is already a great mercy, father, since when have you favored Mordecai?
14:22To this extent, if he doesn't give me an explanation today, I will definitely make him pay.
14:27What are you going to do?
14:29What do you want to do?
14:30What price do you want Mordecai to pay?
14:33You keep saying that Mordecai insulted Cecilia.
14:36Do you have any proof?
14:37Mr. Aurelius is so defiant of your majesty.
14:39What are your intentions?
14:41Could it be that you don't even listen to your majesty?
14:43You eunuch, if you dare say another word, I will kill you!
14:52Your majesty, I'm doing this for Mr. Aurelius' own good.
14:55Your majesty is the ruler, and Mr. Aurelius is the son and subject.
14:59A son obeying his father is the natural order.
15:01Aurelius, we are blood brothers.
15:04I won't fight you for the throne.
15:06Why do you have to frame me for it?
15:08You have the nerve to say I framed you.
15:10You said I wanted to do something improper to Cecilia.
15:13That's nonsense.
15:14I'm a well-read man.
15:15How could I do something so despicable?
15:17Father, I didn't expect Aurelius would disregard his fiancée's reputation for the throne.
15:21Father, please send me to the border as a vassal king, and I'll leave the capital so we can avoid fratricide.
15:30You really like putting on an act, don't you, fine?
15:32Since you like it so much today, I...
15:34Enough silence!
15:35Look at yourself and look at Mordecai.
15:37Don't you feel any guilt or remorse?
15:39Guilt?
15:40What should I feel guilty about?
15:41Should I feel guilty that I'm still alive?
15:43Should I feel guilty that I went in early?
15:45And should I just let this animal harass my fiancée?
15:48Shut up!
15:48In these past few years, is this how you've been training?
15:51Do you know where you are?
15:53Drawing your sword in the Golden Throne Hall?
15:55And trying to kill your brother Mordecai and Grand Eunuch Isaac?
15:58Tell me, what do you want to do?
16:00Of course, I want to kill Mordecai and Isaac.
16:04Killing Isaac!
16:06All right, go ahead.
16:08Let me see.
16:09If he dares to kill someone in the Golden Throne Hall, if he dares to make a move, I'll throw him into the dungeon immediately.
16:15Yes, your majesty.
16:19Mr. Aurelius, I'm here.
16:20I want to see if you dare to do it in the Golden Throne Hall.
16:28So what if I did?
16:39How could you kill someone in the main hall?
16:40He deserved to die.
16:45Mordecai, it's your turn.
16:47Aurelius, you ungrateful brat.
16:50Your majesty, Aurelius killed someone in the main hall and defied your authority, your majesty.
16:55Please issue a decree to severely punish Aurelius to uphold the law of the land.
17:00Aurelius, I'm not even fighting you for the Crown Prince position anymore.
17:04Why did you still kill Isaac?
17:06Could it be that you won't rest until I'm dead?
17:09That's right.
17:12I won't rest until you're dead.
17:15So, do you want to suicide?
17:17Or do you want me to help you?
17:26You brat!
17:27Go to the dungeon yourself and reflect on your actions.
17:29Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the dungeon.
17:32What if I refuse?
17:34Do you have the right?
17:35Look at what you've done.
17:36This is the result of your five years guarding the border.
17:41When will you truly understand it?
17:45Your majesty, what do you mean?
17:47No, we must force Aurelius to his death.
17:50He's a loose cannon while he lives.
17:53Your majesty, Aurelius killed someone in the main hall and showed no remorse.
17:59If this gets out, how can the court of Samaria maintain its order?
18:03How can the dignity of Samaria be preserved?
18:06And what about your majesty's authority?
18:09Your majesty, if you don't severely punish Aurelius, then the officials of the court and the people will surely be dissatisfied.
18:16Then public anger will rise.
18:18And the foundation of Samaria will be unstable, your majesty.
18:22Your majesty, please issue a decree to severely punish Aurelius.
18:27Otherwise, we are willing to boycott the court.
18:29Whoever dares to boycott the court, I will behead them.
18:33Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are not.
18:37If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will.
18:40Enough.
18:41Someone, harass the eldest Prince Aurelius.
18:43Or me.
18:44Wait.
18:53Your majesty, Isaac deserves to die.
18:55Mr. Aurelius killing Isaac is upholding the national law.
18:59How does Isaac deserve to die?
19:01Mr. Aurelius' lawlessness is unforgivable.
19:04In our ancestral system, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics.
19:08Isaac interfered in politics in the main hall.
19:10According to the ancestral system, he should be executed.
19:14How did Mr. Isaac interfere in politics?
19:16He just gave Aurelius some advice and chatted about our family matters.
19:18How is this interfering in politics?
19:21The imperial family has no family matters.
19:23The affairs of the royal family are affairs of state.
19:26You!
19:27What about me?
19:28Get down here right now.
19:29Otherwise, I will go up.
19:31Arrest this rebellious brat for me.
19:36Father.
19:38Are you sure you want to?
19:39Put me under house arrest.
19:41I want you to know what the proper relationship between ruler and subject, father and son is.
19:46No matter what Isaac did wrong, I will deal with it myself.
19:50It's not your place to kill someone in the main hall.
19:53I had high hopes for you.
19:55You have really disappointed me.
19:58Do you act like a royal?
20:00So, you want to put me under house arrest, don't you?
20:03I don't want to talk to you anymore.
20:04Someone lock this brat in the dungeon.
20:07Wait.
20:07I have a question, your majesty.
20:12What do you want to ask?
20:14Your majesty, you keep saying that's the end of it.
20:17Can I assume that no matter how Mr. Mordecai insults me, that's the end of it?
20:22As long as there is no evidence.
20:24If Mr. Mordecai kills someone to silence them, destroys the body and eliminates all traces, that's also the end of it.
20:30Regarding the matter of Mr. Caspar's daughter, I will give an explanation afterwards.
20:37What are you waiting for?
20:38Arrest Aurelius immediately.
20:40After Aurelius was imprisoned in the dungeon, we can poison him secretly, and he will surely die.
20:48Then only his majesty are left to be eliminated.
20:51It's a pity that Isaac is dead.
20:53Otherwise, it would have been easier.
20:55But it's not a big problem.
20:57A bit difficult.
20:58But not much.
20:59Mr. Aurelius, please.
21:01Mr. Aurelius, please.
21:31Aurelius disrespects his emperor and father.
21:33If he is not killed, it will not be enough to uphold the imperial authority.
21:38If he is not killed, it will not be enough to set an example for all under heaven.
21:43Once this matter gets out, everyone in the world will know that your majesty did not severely punish Mr. Aurelius.
21:49Then they will follow suit.
21:51How can the people of this world be restrained, your majesty?
21:55Father, Aurelius killing the imperial gods in court is an act of treason.
22:00For the sake of the country and the people, I hope you can severely punish Aurelius.
22:05Otherwise, sons rebelling against their fathers will become commonplace throughout the land.
22:09Then all order and propriety will collapse, and the world will be in chaos.
22:13I will give you one last chance.
22:17Go to the dungeon yourself.
22:19Reflect on your sins and repent to the world, and I may consider...
22:22Impossible!
22:23You brat!
22:24Do you really want to die?
22:26Do you know what I have suffered, father?
22:27Do you know what I have been through?
22:29I received a...
22:30No matter what you have suffered, it is no excuse for you to kill someone in court.
22:35And defy me, I will put you under house arrest.
22:39And no one can save you.
22:46Indeed!
22:48You are the emperor.
22:50Why would you care what I have been through?
22:52Why would you blame Mordecai for what he did to my fiancée?
22:54Someone seize this rebellious brat!
23:17Today is not the same as before.
23:20Father, my name is Aurelius.
23:23Sharing the same name with the famous emperor.
23:30I, Aurelius, am not someone to be slaughtered at will.
23:34Now, father, you have forced me to this.
23:37Whoever forces me will be killed by me.
23:39Mr. Monty, the first echelon of 100,000 troops has assembled.
23:53The second echelon of 200,000 troops is assembling.
23:57Besides, 100,000 cavalry are ready.
23:59Tell all troops not to delay.
24:01Prepare the rations and head straight for the capital.
24:04Yes!
24:04Are you going to kill your father and usurp the throne?
24:09I am not rebelling, nor am I killing my father.
24:13Then what are you doing?
24:14What do you want to do?
24:15I'm going to eliminate the treacherous officials.
24:18And restore order to Sumerian.
24:26Eliminating the treacherous officials?
24:27Who are you going to eliminate me?
24:31Of course, the treacherous hypocrite Mordecai.
24:36Aurelius, do you know what you are doing?
24:38If you kill me, you will be condemned by everyone under heaven.
24:42I'll kill whoever condemns me.
24:45In that way, no one in the world will dare condemn me again.
24:47I have spoiled you too much.
24:50So that you are so unscrupulous by my decree.
24:54From this day forward, Aurelius won't be a prince.
24:58He will be demoted to a commoner.
25:01Seize this rebellious brat.
25:07What are you waiting for?
25:09Arrest him!
25:11Report!
25:13The army has surrounded the palace and is about to attack.
