00:00:20It's a blessed elf! A child born of starlight!
00:00:24The light around her shines brighter than the temple's crystals!
00:00:32Don't celebrate too soon. Look, the starlight power of the elven realm is fading.
00:00:41This child was born with the power of gemstone light and the royal fortune of the human realm,
00:00:46but her star vein can't survive in the divine realm.
00:00:50Elder, what do we do?
00:00:53She must descend to the mortal realm and enter the Elston royal family. Their royal bloodline
00:00:58can nourish her star vein. Otherwise, within three months, her starlight will fade and
00:01:01she'll vanish into nothingness.
00:01:02The mortal realm? A royal family? I'm happy here! I'm not going anywhere!
00:01:20Go, child. Find your fortune and stay alive.
00:01:24Go, child. Find your fortune and stay alive.
00:01:37Go, child. Find him nowhere! If I get back, I'll pluck every last hair from his beard!
00:01:56He got away. With that much blood loss, he can't have gotten far. Prince Caleb said it has to be
00:02:01done tonight.
00:02:02Once the crown prince is dead, the throne and the jewelry empire belong to him. Spread out and search the
00:02:07woods!
00:02:11Caleb, so it really was you.
00:02:17Is a baby crying out here?
00:02:31Who would leave a kid in a place like this?
00:02:39Where did that man come from? He's covered in blood.
00:02:49Did I just hear that?
00:03:07He's not here. Check by the road.
00:03:12No one's here. Let's pull out.
00:03:24Wait. What's that sound?
00:03:49Let's go. Let's go. We've searched long enough. He must be gone.
00:03:53You're right. Keep soaking out here and we'll be the ones dropping first.
00:04:16You are sleeping just fine.
00:04:27Your Highness, I must confirm this once again. The wound in your arm is deep, but it didn't damage the
00:04:32bone or tendons. It's been stitched up, changed the dressing on schedule, and it should heal in about two weeks.
00:04:38Mm-hmm.
00:04:40As for the head injury you mentioned, I ran every test. The results are clear. There's no brain injury.
00:04:45So I couldn't have been hearing things?
00:04:47That's right. Your brain is perfectly fine.
00:04:51Good work, Arthur. Go get some rest.
00:05:04Could what I heard really have been her thoughts?
00:05:20Good work, Arthur.
00:05:25Your Highness, the kitchen sent up your morning snack.
00:05:30Put it over there.
00:05:34Mmm. What's that smell?
00:05:42So sweet.
00:05:44And yummy.
00:05:49Why isn't that dummy man feeding me yet? Just one bite. I can even have a lick.
00:06:04Huh? Wait! Where's the cake going?
00:06:09It's back! It's back! You're the best!
00:06:13So I really can hear her thoughts.
00:06:33Sweet! So sweet! I love you!
00:06:40Am I seeing things? His Highness actually smiled?
00:06:45Give the orders. Contact the best nanny now.
00:06:47Have a full set of top-tier baby supplies made, and I want the list tonight.
00:06:51Everyone on the estate keeps quiet. Not a word about what happened tonight.
00:06:54Yes, Your Highness.
00:07:00You little mystery. I need to keep you hidden.
00:07:03Please.
00:07:04Noo.
00:07:16And why not for a birthday.
00:07:32Keeping her here may damage your reputation. I could have her quietly taken to a public orphanage.
00:07:39Bad lady! There's something in that soup! Don't drink it!
00:07:47Your highness?
00:07:54Don't drink it! It's poison! Stop, you dummy man!
00:08:05My hands slipped.
00:08:08I'll go make you another bowl right away.
00:08:10No need. I'm tired tonight. We'll deal with the tonic tomorrow.
00:08:15Yes, yes. I'll take my leave.
00:08:30Your highness, what happened?
00:08:32This medicine. Check it and see if anything's wrong.
00:08:46Your highness, it contains a highly concentrated sedative blend.
00:08:52Are you sure?
00:08:53I know this smell. It's a blend of three extracts. Each one's harmless alone, but combined they make a powerful
00:08:58sleeping drug.
00:08:59At this dose, you'd be unconscious for seven full days.
00:09:03Seven days?
00:09:04The king's birthday banquet is in seven days. If you're absent, it'll cause a massive uproar.
00:09:11If I miss it, they'll have the perfect excuse to frame me. Caleb, you even bribed the people closest to
00:09:18me.
00:09:23This child, she really can keep me out of danger.
00:09:47This child, she really can keep me out of danger.
00:09:48Edward, I heard something happen to you last night. I was too scared to sleep a wink.
00:09:54How are you? Where are you hurt?
00:09:58Just some scratches. Nothing serious. Sorry to worry you.
00:10:02How can you say that? You're the crown prince, the future king. Your safety matters more than anything.
00:10:10Oh my god, what a precious little baby. Whose child is she?
00:10:14Her name's Luna. I found her, but we haven't found her birth parents.
00:10:19Poor thing. Oh, and there's something else I came to discuss.
00:10:23My father wants to develop the new minds in the north with you.
00:10:26Here's the contract. It's for the future of the royal empire too, don't you think?
00:10:34Hold on. Bella, darling, I want to discuss something with you.
00:10:38What is it?
00:10:41I want to adopt Luna.
00:10:46Adopt her?
00:10:47Edward, what are you talking about? She's a nameless stray kid.
00:10:50How can you just bring her into the royal family?
00:10:52If word gets out, it'll throw the line of succession into chaos.
00:10:55My decisions don't need anyone's approval.
00:10:58A child with no known family?
00:11:01Once she's officially added to the royal family, she could inherit the royal wealth and power.
00:11:07No. I have to seize real control before he names an heir.
00:11:13Of course. I support whatever you do.
00:11:16Let me hold this little sweetheart, okay?
00:11:19You're so busy with empire affairs. Why don't I take care of her from now on?
00:11:23I promise I'll love her like she's my own.
00:11:28No, no. That lady's got something in her hand.
00:11:31It's sharp and cold. She's trying to stab me. Help!
00:11:39Don't! Don't! Don't give me to her! She wants to stab me! It'll hurt! It'll hurt so bad!
00:11:45Bella, she seems...
00:11:47Oh, she's just shy around strangers. It's okay. I'll calm her down.
00:11:52Isabella's my fiancé. There's no way she'd hurt a baby.
00:12:07Isabella, what's that?
00:12:09I have no idea. What is that? How did it fall off me?
00:12:13Wow! I almost got stabbed. That woman's bad. Really bad.
00:12:20I'll reconsider our engagement. Leave. Now.
00:12:24Edward, I...
00:12:25Get out!
00:12:35There, there. She's gone. No more crying, okay?
00:12:43Bring me a box of chocolate candies.
00:12:58Oh my god! This is even better than cake! What kind of magic is this? Why'd you hide it from
00:13:04me?
00:13:05You greedy little thing.
00:13:12Your highness, 100.4 degrees is the perfect temperature.
00:13:20Wow! Water! Warm water! This feels so good!
00:13:29You did that on purpose? No! My hand did it by itself!
00:13:39No one's ever been this kind to me.
00:13:47Sweetheart.
00:14:00Starting today, you'll take over Mrs. Hale's duties.
00:14:05Don't disappoint me. Yes, your highness. The guest list and schedule for the king's birthday banquet are confirmed.
00:14:10But about the adoption you mentioned, when will you announce it publicly?
00:14:14At my father's birthday banquet. The whole royal family will be there, along with all the guests.
00:14:20There's no better time to make the announcement.
00:14:23Your highness, forgive me for saying so, but his majesty may not agree so easily.
00:14:29I'll make him agree.
00:14:36Your majesty, there's something I've been debating whether to tell you.
00:14:40Edward secretly adopted an infant girl with no background. He found her in the woods. It's a wild child.
00:14:46What?
00:14:47I only just found out. You know how he is. But the royal bloodline is no small matter.
00:14:53He brings some unknown child into the estate, and if word gets out...
00:14:57Father Edward has always been kind-hearted, but this was reckless.
00:15:01What if someone with an agenda planted her there? The consequences could be disastrous.
00:15:07That ungrateful son. How dare he treat the royal bloodline like a game?
00:15:12Gods!
00:15:14Your majesty, go summon the crown prince! I want to know what he thinks she's doing!
00:15:30Wow! Golden ceilings, glowing lights. It's so pretty!
00:15:37Oh my god, is that the child his highness brought home?
00:15:40Just wait. Tonight's going to be quite a show.
00:15:43The man on the left is the minister of finance. That's the master of ceremonies.
00:15:48Don't worry if you can't remember them. Dad's here.
00:15:52Good thing I wore my new dress today.
00:15:54With the king stepping in himself, let's see how much longer you can protect that little brat.
00:16:03Father.
00:16:04So you finally decided to come see me.
00:16:07I hear you adopted a child without saying a word, and you want to put her name in the royal
00:16:11family tree?
00:16:12Yes, father. Her name is Luna. Starting today, she's my daughter.
00:16:17This is outrageous! How can a child of unknown background be added to the royal family tree?
00:16:23Edward, I order you to send her away tonight!
00:16:26So this is grandpa. Wow, he's so young and handsome, but he's kind of scary. Does grandpa not like Luna?
00:16:36Who was that just now?
00:16:38Wait. That reaction from father. Can he hear Luna's thoughts too?
00:16:44This child. She's not as simple as she looks.
00:16:49Father, I swear on my honor as crown prince. Luna saved my life.
00:16:54Please approve her adoption and give her a legitimate place in this family.
00:16:59Dear brother, forgive me for saying this. No one knows where she came from.
00:17:04If word gets out that her bloodline is tainted, the whole kingdom will laugh at us.
00:17:09For the royal family's reputation, you should think it through.
00:17:13She's my daughter. Nobody gets to judge her.
00:17:17Caleb, let me make it clear.
00:17:19From now on, anyone who says one bad word about her is making an enemy of me.
00:17:27Enough. Everyone dial it back. We're family. Why make such a scene?
00:17:32Since Edward's so attached to the child, let him have his way. I approve the adoption.
00:17:37We'll discuss adding her to the family tree another time.
00:17:39Your Majesty, but you just said-
00:17:40That's enough, Isabella. The banquet's starting. Everyone take your seats.
00:17:46Hmm. Serves you right, you bad guys.
00:17:55Your Majesty, this emerald necklace has been passed down in my family for three generations.
00:18:02May you enjoy a long, blessed life.
00:18:06A small token, Your Majesty. Pearls from the South Seas. I hope you'll accept them.
00:18:14There are so many sparkly stones. The green one's pretty, and the white one's pretty too.
00:18:20You little magpie. I'll have someone fill a whole room with them for you.
00:18:30Your Majesty, our Ducal House has prepared a one-of-a-kind gift for you.
00:18:40Your Majesty, this ruby came from the oldest mine in the royal family's holdings.
00:18:45It's a once-in-a-century pigeon-blood ruby. We spent three years searching for it.
00:18:50We offer it to you to show our loyalty to the crown, and to you.
00:18:54Oh my god, a ruby that huge. I've only seen one in a book.
00:18:57No one else is going to top the Duke's gift tonight.
00:19:04It's fake! Dad, that redstone is fake! It's obviously fake!
00:19:19Isabella, let me make sure I heard you right. You said this gem came from the royal family's oldest mine.
00:19:24Of course. Edward, what are you implying? Do you think I dare fool His Majesty with a fake?
00:19:31Daddy, look! It's full of cracks. The color was dyed in. It's just a worthless rock someone picked up by
00:19:38the river.
00:19:39Isabella. No. This can't be.
00:19:42Oh my god, the Ducal House tried to pass off a dyed rock as a ruby to His Majesty?
00:19:45What a gift. They gifted themselves a capital offense. This is going to be fun to watch.
00:19:50Isabella, I want an explanation.
00:19:55Victor, what the hell happened? Explain yourself!
00:19:58Sister, Your Majesty, please spare me. The carriage jolted along the road, the case broke open,
00:20:03and the real pigeon-blood ruby rolled off the cliff. I searched for ages, but I couldn't find it.
00:20:07I was terrified of failing to deliver and being punished. I lost my mind and bribed a craftsman to
00:20:12dye a stone and pass it off as the real thing. Your Majesty, I meant no harm. I panicked and
00:20:16did
00:20:16something stupid. Please show mercy!
00:20:22You idiot. What were you thinking? You humiliated the entire Ducal House.
00:20:28Your Majesty, I failed to keep my household in order. As his sister, I failed to watch over him and
00:20:34let him
00:20:34make such a terrible mistake. Please forgive him. From now on, have anything sent by the Ducaly House
00:20:40inspected before it reaches me. That bastard again. It's always her.
00:20:49Come here. Let me hold the little one.
00:20:56Edward, she's a gift from heaven to the royal family. She's our blessing.
00:21:02Grandpa's holding me, but his beard is so scratchy. It's like a brush.
00:21:08Edward, the royal roughstone auction is in a few days.
00:21:11You mean- Bring the child with you. Those eyes of hers are worth ten appraisers.
00:21:17An auction? Where's that? Dad, let's go. I want to go.
00:21:23Okay. Dad will take you.
00:21:26That little bastard. How dare she. She babbles once in the hall and the king turns on me.
00:21:33Do you know what those nobles were saying about me behind my back?
00:21:36My dear Bella, you're too rattled. She's just a baby. Even if she has some freakish gift,
00:21:41she can't change the big picture. Edward's about to name her heir. Today it's her. Tomorrow,
00:21:47that nobody's brat will own the entire royal jewelry empire. All our plans will wait!
00:21:52She can't do a thing. I've already set it up. Just wait for the auction. Look at this.
00:21:59What is this? An old relic buried in the royal vault. I swiped it from my great-grandmother,
00:22:04the one obsessed with the occult. All you have to do is curse Edward before the auction starts.
00:22:09And then? Then, at the critical moment, a fog will cloud his judgment.
00:22:14You already set everything up? Of course. Edward will bid on a worthless rock
00:22:20in front of everyone and drain the Empire's cash. And we'll sit back and enjoy the show.
00:22:27At least you've got a conscience. Now it's up to you to get my dignity back.
00:22:36The royal roughstone auction only comes once a year. The best stones in Europe are right here.
00:22:41I heard the royalty released a few prized stones from the old mines. Whoever gets one will be set for
00:22:46life.
00:22:48Your highness, we've swept the venue. The VIP seats are in the front row.
00:22:53Keep an eye on Caleb's people. Understood.
00:23:02Daddy! Daddy! So many stones! So many glowing stones! There's a blue glow in that corner,
00:23:08and the one on the left is glowing gold!
00:23:11She can read people's hearts and see straight through the stone to the glow of the gems inside?
00:23:15My god, what kind of treasure did I bring home?
00:23:22Oh, Edward. I haven't slept well for days over what happened at that banquet. Victor did something so stupid. I'm
00:23:27his sister,
00:23:28so it's my responsibility. I gave him hell for it the moment we got home.
00:23:31I understand, Miss Bella.
00:23:33I know you're still mad at me. But darling, we've known each other for years.
00:23:38I'm apologizing to you in front of everyone today. Can you forgive me?
00:23:43Last time, that no-name little brat ruined my plans. This time, I'll handle it myself. Let's see you slip
00:23:48out of my grasp.
00:23:53Why does my chest suddenly feel tight? It's okay, sweetheart. It's just stuffy in here.
00:23:58That's weird. That nasty woman got too close. I need to keep an eye on her.
00:24:02Ladies and gentlemen, the annual Royal Rough Stone auction is now open. Bring out the first lot.
00:24:07A rough stone with a gray ride from the old mine. Bidding starts at 50,000 gold coins.
00:24:1460,000. 80,000. Sold for 120,000 gold coins. Congratulations, sir.
00:24:23His highness hasn't bid once. What is he waiting for?
00:24:26Shh. The good stuff comes last. He's waiting for the grand finale.
00:24:29They're not even half as pretty as the junk in the storeroom.
00:24:31Daddy, I'm sleepy. These stones are so boring.
00:24:35Just wait a little longer, sweetheart. The best things always come last.
00:24:38Stick to the plan and keep it clean. Yes, your highness.
00:24:45My dear brother, the show's about to begin. Once you buy that worthless rock and bankrupt the empire,
00:24:51let's see how you'll stay crown prince. Ladies and gentlemen, up next, the night's grand finale.
00:24:57A rough gemstone from the royal family's oldest mine. Bidding starts at 5,000,000 gold coins.
00:25:02A rough gemstone from the royal family.
00:25:07Daddy, something's wrong with that huge stone. It's hollow. There's not a spark of light inside.
00:25:13It's fake. It's fake. It's fake. Daddy, don't buy it. There's nothing inside. Not even a tiny bit of light.
00:25:20Daddy, why won't you listen to me? Daddy!
00:25:23Six million. Ten million. Fifteen million. Fifteen million going once.
00:25:27Twenty million. Twenty million? Prince Caleb really is determined to get that stone.
00:25:34Twenty-five million. No. Daddy, wake up. It's just a worthless rock. A bad rock.
00:25:39Thirty million. Thirty million. Thirty million going once. Daddy!
00:25:53Twenty-five million.
00:26:01Wake up. Daddy, wake up. I won't let that bad woman steal you away.
00:26:12What the hell was I just doing? Thirty million going twice. Sold! Congratulations, your highness.
00:26:19He'd already raised his paddle. Why did he stop? I knew he'd keep bidding until the end.
00:26:24Impossible. I watched the spell enter his body. I watched him lose control. How did it suddenly wear off?
00:26:31Bad woman. I chewed up your little trick. Nya, nya, nya.
00:26:36That kid again.
00:26:40Thirty million gold coins. Prince Caleb just blew his entire summer budget.
00:26:44What a bold move, your highness. Once that treasure's uncovered, what's thirty million?
00:26:51Brother, thanks for letting me have it. Stone this good and you didn't keep bidding? I'm honestly surprised.
00:26:56I let you have it. After all, we're brothers.
00:27:00Dumb man. Thirty million for a useless rock? Shame on you. Just wait till you crack it open and find
00:27:04nothing but scraps. Let's see you brag then.
00:27:07Edward, you got damn lucky. I'll get you strawberry cake when we get home.
00:27:13Yay! Daddy's the best. I love daddy most. Daddy! That one! The dusty gray one! It's glowing! It's so bright!
00:27:20That stone wasn't even good enough for the display table.
00:27:30Daddy, daddy! Look at that one! It's a thousand times better than those junk rocks! A million times better!
00:27:36Where'd that stone come from? Your highness. It's scrapped from the mining district. It's been
00:27:41sitting here for three years and nobody's bid on it. Honestly, it's basically worthless.
00:27:47Did the crown prince get scared off by that last showpiece? Now he's eyeing a piece of trash.
00:27:52He couldn't afford the thirty million gold coin one, so now he's picking up a piece of junk for a
00:27:57hundred
00:27:57thousand. How pathetic. You idiots have no eye for quality. My rainbow stone isn't junk.
00:28:03Brother, even the mining apprentice wouldn't touch that one. Why waste your money on it? If you're
00:28:08short, I can lend you some. He's really lost it. I may have blown thirty million, but he'll humiliate
00:28:13himself in front of the whole kingdom by spending a hundred thousand gold bings on a worthless rock.
00:28:16Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Your highness, that's too risky. You should play it safer. Don't let a child
00:28:22point at random and ruin your big plans. Go on. Buy it. Let them cut it open in front of
00:28:27everyone and
00:28:27find nothing but scraps. By tomorrow, Edward will be the laughingstock of the kingdom. Once the king
00:28:32strips him of his title, Prince Caliph can take the throne. Daddy, trust me. One hundred thousand
00:28:38gold coins. I'll take it. He's insane. The crown prince has to be insane. One hundred thousand gold
00:28:47coins. Going once, going twice. This rough stone belongs to the crown prince. Just wait till you see
00:28:55this. My pretty stone will blow you all away. His majesty, the king!
00:29:07What's going on here? Your majesty, you came at the perfect time. His highness ignored all the
00:29:14good stones and spent a hundred thousand gold coins on a piece of junk. We couldn't talk him out of
00:29:19it.
00:29:19Edward, is this how you disgrace the royal family? Grandpa's yelling at daddy, but my stone isn't junk.
00:29:33Thirty million gold coins. Caleb, did you buy the final lot?
00:29:38Yes, father. Fine. Since it's tonight's most valuable lot,
00:29:44we'll follow the auction's old rules and cut it open in front of everyone. You there, start with
00:29:50Prince Caleb's stone. Cut it open in public? No. I've never seen what's inside that stone.
00:29:57Father, why don't we do it another day? The auction rules stand. Cut it.
00:30:02Father's right. But if we're cutting stones for fun, cutting only mine would be boring. Edward bought one
00:30:07too, didn't he? Let's cut them both and show everyone what they're worth. If I'm going down,
00:30:13you're coming with me. Even if my stones are bust, I'll drag you down with me. Sure. I'm in.
00:30:18That bad man's trying to drag daddy into this. Let's see who ends up crying.
00:30:29Why does Prince Caleb's stone look like an ordinary rock?
00:30:33Your Highness, it's done. There's nothing inside. This, this is a worthless rock.
00:30:38Thirty million gold coins for a piece of junk? What a rip off.
00:30:44What a loser. He's completely useless. If I'd known he was this pathetic,
00:30:49I never would have tied myself to him. Silly man spent 30 million on a pile of rock scraps.
00:30:56With that much money, he could have bought candy and built a candy mountain.
00:31:00You little brat. Don't laugh at me.
00:31:03Your junk rock isn't any better. Let's see what kind of treasure you cut out of it.
00:31:17Daddy, show them what you've got.
00:31:22It's just scrap. I'll cut it and call it a day.
00:31:28Nobody touch it. Step back, all of you.
00:31:33What a pretty stone. What is that?
00:31:41Oh my god. It's a rainbow star stone. A legendary treasure said to nourish a kingdom's fortune.
00:31:48You might not see one in a hundred years.
00:31:52Everyone, our kingdom hasn't seen a gemstone of this caliber in 60 years. 60 years!
00:32:03The rainbow star stone? That's something we only see in ancient texts!
00:32:08One hundred thousand gold coins! One hundred thousand!
00:32:14Why him? I spent 30 million and got a pile of rubble. He spends a hundred thousand and finds a
00:32:20treasure
00:32:20seen once in a century? Has heaven gone blind? With her by Edward's side, he'll have endless luck.
00:32:26Looks like I can't keep seeing Prince Caleb anymore.
00:32:31Excellent! Edward, you've done the royal family a huge service.
00:32:35Tell me what you want. Land, gold, name it, and I'll give it to you.
00:32:41Father, I can't take the credit. We only found the star stone because of Luna. If anyone deserves a reward,
00:32:46it's my daughter. What did his highness say? He owes it to that three-month-old baby?
00:32:50A baby who can't even walk is an expert appraiser. His highness has spoiled that child rotten.
00:32:55He's giving all that credit to a baby. The king will never go for that. He'll be furious.
00:33:00He's lost it. Edward, you've completely lost it. Saying something this absurd in public.
00:33:05Father hates superstition. Just wait till you make him angry.
00:33:08That's right. Say it louder. Let his majesty see his precious son make a fool of himself in public.
00:33:17Grandpa, isn't that stone pretty? I found it. Am I amazing?
00:33:22This child really isn't ordinary.
00:33:25Listen up. This child is a gift from heaven to Elston. She found the kingdom's greatest treasure,
00:33:31and no one gets to take that away from her. By my name as king, I hereby declare, effective today,
00:33:38Luna is the star moon princess of the kingdom of Elston. She will receive the star moon crest,
00:33:43and her name will be entered into the royal family tree. Congratulations, your majesty.
00:33:48Congratulations, your highness. Congratulations, princess star moon.
00:33:53Princess? I'm a princess now. So does that mean I get cake every day?
00:33:59You do. Every single day. The star moon princess entered into the royal family tree. Fine.
00:34:06That nobody's bastard even has a title now. Edward, you've shut me out completely.
00:34:11A princess? What makes her worthy of that title? That position and the future queen's crown are mine. All mine.
00:34:22Good day, your majesty. Good day, highness. What brings you here, Lady Isabella?
00:34:28I had my chef make some rose pastries. I know you and his majesty have been working hard,
00:34:33so I brought them as a small token of appreciation. Speaking of Luna, she's incredibly smart, but...
00:34:39Here she goes again. Luna's got no known family. She's just some stray child. Is she seriously going
00:34:45to hand me over to her to raise? But she still has no known background, and she hasn't been raised
00:34:51by a
00:34:51proper lady. People will gossip. Why not let me take her back to the Duke's estate and raise her? It
00:34:57would quiet the
00:34:57gossip and take a burden off your shoulders. Damn it. How did I let this woman fool me? She's got
00:35:03a
00:35:03heart as cold as a snake. Father, I have something to say. Speak. I ask you to approve the immediate
00:35:08annulment of my engagement to the Duke's family. Your highness, what did you say? Isabella, I used to
00:35:15love you. I thought you were gentle, kind, and proper. But lately, I've seen who you really are.
00:35:20You're nowhere near as innocent as I thought. Does he know everything? Why would you say that? I've
00:35:26always been sincere with you, and I've truly cared for the princess. How can you let people's lies
00:35:31turn you against me? Enough. I've made my decision. The engagement is over. Your highness, you can't
00:35:39end this engagement. Because I'm carrying your child.
00:35:53Dame, there really is a second heartbeat. That's impossible. It can't be real. You really forget
00:35:58it? At that dinner, you drank so much you could barely walk. I helped you to a side hall to
00:36:03rest.
00:36:04That night, you really don't remember what happened? I did drink a lot that night. Things
00:36:09got hazy, and when I woke up, I was in bed at my estate. Wasn't I taken home by the
00:36:13guards?
00:36:14Look what you've done! I told you to focus on winning over Edward, but you had to get mixed up
00:36:18with that useless Caleb. Now the Rough Stone auction's over, and he's the laughingstock of the
00:36:22kingdom! What's the point of yelling at me, father? Edward's turned against me. Please think of
00:36:26something and save me. I can't lose this marriage. I can't!
00:36:32This contains a secret spell passed down through our family. Stick it to your lower belly, and it'll
00:36:36emerge weak, fertile heartbeat. Feel like you're pregnant for a month. You mean, you want me to
00:36:41pretend I'm carrying Edward's child? The royal family cares most about bloodline and reputation.
00:36:47Even if he doesn't want to, he'll have to marry you. Once you're secure as princess consort, you can
00:36:53slowly take control of the jewelry Indepire. Then who'll dare say a word against you? Edward! I'm so
00:37:00disappointed in you. How could you act so recklessly and cause a scandal? Where does that leave the royal
00:37:04family's reputation? That's weird. Her belly's completely empty. There's nothing in there.
00:37:12No baby. How is that possible? I clearly...
00:37:16Sensed was steady and strong. It was clearly the heartbeat of an early pregnancy, different from
00:37:21what Luna said. If she's carrying royal blood, we can't call off the marriage. Isabella, go home and
00:37:27get some rest. Don't overdo it. As for the wedding, we will contact the Dukley house to discuss the details.
00:37:32I thought I'd have to argue my case half to death. I can't believe I turned things around this easily.
00:37:37Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. And thank you for your understanding, Your Highness.
00:37:41I'll take good care of myself and safely deliver the baby.
00:37:47Luna, tell Daddy. Was everything you said true? Is there really no baby in her belly?
00:37:52It is, Daddy. I didn't see wrong. And there's a ring of dark, nasty mist around her belly. It definitely
00:37:58isn't anything good.
00:38:00Dark mist. Wait. There's an ancient spell that can fake the fetal heartbeat. It can even fool a mental scan.
00:38:06So that's it. She planned to use a cheap trick to fool us.
00:38:10I see. If she's determined to keep up this act,
00:38:17we'll play along to the very end. We'll set a trap and make her expose every lie herself.
00:38:23Yay! There's another show to watch. I love seeing bad people get exposed. Go, Daddy. Go, Grandpa. I'll keep a
00:38:27close eye on that bad lady for you.
00:38:29Good. Then our little star moon princess can witness the show.
00:38:37May your majesty and your highness stay well. What did you summon me here for?
00:38:41Sit down. We're family here. No need for that. This black tea came all the way from the east. It's
00:38:46nourishing.
00:38:46And since you're pregnant, it'll help replenish your strength.
00:38:48Thank you, your majesty. Anyway, an heir is the royal family's top priority.
00:38:54Now that there's a child on the way, you and Edward should start planning the wedding right away.
00:38:58I'll leave it to you. To be safe, I asked a physician to examine you today.
00:39:02It'll put all our minds at ease. Father's spell lasts a full month. It's only been a few days.
00:39:07There's no way the physician will find out. And once he checks my condition, it'll prove I'm pregnant.
00:39:11Then I'll leave it to the physician.
00:39:22Your majesty, your highness. I have to be honest. Lady Isabella isn't pregnant.
00:39:29That's impossible. You're talking nonsense. You must have examined me wrong.
00:39:35How could I not be pregnant?
00:39:39You're talking nonsense. You're a quack with an empty title. Someone must have paid you to set me up.
00:39:46My god, how dare you spread a lie and ruin a noble woman's reputation.
00:39:49She's yelling again. She's the one lying. And she still has the nerve to attack someone else.
00:39:56Enough, Isabella. Drop this pathetic act. You really think those cheap old spells can fool everyone?
00:40:02Here's the truth. That cup of tea you just drank was laced with a spell-breaking potion.
00:40:06The spell's gone. Are you still going to keep pretending?
00:40:10I'm sorry. Your majesty, your highness. It's all my fault. I was never pregnant. I made the whole thing up.
00:40:16I just love Edward so much. I was terrified he'd call off the engagement and never marry me.
00:40:20So loving someone means lying to them? That's weird.
00:40:24Wonderful. Just wonderful. The duke's daughter had the nerve to deceive the royal family.
00:40:28I warned you to stop playing these cheap tricks. You kept trying to hurt Luna and now you deceive the
00:40:32royal family with a fake pregnancy.
00:40:34The Elston royal family has no place for someone as vicious as you. As of today, my engagement to Isabella
00:40:38is over.
00:40:39Yes, yes. That mean lady's finally leaving.
00:40:47Edward? How dare he treat me like that?
00:40:51All I wanted was to marry him. Take my rightful place as crown princess.
00:40:55Who gave him the right to trample my dignity? Why should I? I'm the duke's daughter. I'm more than worthy
00:41:01of being crown princess. I will not lose like this.
00:41:05You useless fools. Can't even make a few fake ledgers add up. Once father investigates, we're all finished.
00:41:14Well, look who visited. Isn't this lady Isabella trying to climb the ladder with a fake pregnancy?
00:41:19What, getting locked up by your father wasn't enough? You came all the way here to have fun with me?
00:41:23You've got the nerve judging me. Your situation isn't better than mine. Neither of us gets to laugh at the
00:41:28other.
00:41:29Enough with the angry talk. What do we do now?
00:41:31Edward treats that bastard like he hung the moon. He's terrified she might get hurt. If we go after that
00:41:36child, we'll hit Edward where it hurts most.
00:41:38Wait. I've got it. She was an abandoned baby he found, right? We'll find a couple to pose as her
00:41:45real parents.
00:41:46They'll show up crying and demanding their daughter. Once the kingdom's in an uprock, we'll accuse Edward of stealing a
00:41:51commoner's child.
00:41:53Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Once Edward's name is ruined, the throne and the jewelry empire will be ours.
00:42:04It's hard, and it tastes awful.
00:42:07You little foodie, that's not for eating. Keep eating random stuff. And no strawberry mash this afternoon.
00:42:14Strawberry mash. Sweet strawberry mash. I want some. Two big spoonfuls.
00:42:22Your highness, this is bad. A couple's outside the gates, crying and begging on their knees.
00:42:29They claim the princess is their daughter, and they want you to give her back.
00:42:39My daughter! My poor baby! Mum finally found you!
00:42:42Your highness, please have mercy! Give us our child back! For three months, we've searched every inch of this land.
00:42:49It's nearly broken us!
00:42:51That's heartbreaking. Being torn away from your child. I can't imagine what they are going through.
00:42:56I heard his highness found the child in the woods. Now her real parents have come looking for her.
00:43:01What are the odds? His highness just made her a princess and suddenly her parents show up? Sounds like they're
00:43:06trying to climb the ladder.
00:43:11Your highness, these are the two. They've been waiting here since before dawn. We can't get them to leave.
00:43:16Your highness! Please give our child back!
00:43:19Your highness, we're not unreasonable people. Three months ago, disaster struck and we couldn't feed ourselves, let alone raise a
00:43:24child.
00:43:25So we left her in the woods. But things have gotten better. We want to take her home and make
00:43:29it up to her.
00:43:30If you don't believe us, she has a tiny red birthmark behind her ear. She's had it since birth. How
00:43:35could we fake that?
00:43:36They even know about her birthmark? Then it's probably true. What mother could mistake her own child?
00:43:41No matter how powerful his highness is, he can't keep someone else's child from them.
00:43:46An outsider couldn't know these details. Someone inside the estate must have leaked them.
00:43:50You're claiming you're Luna's biological parents?
00:43:52Yes! It's the absolute truth!
00:44:03My baby! Let me hold her, for God's sake!
00:44:06Step back. Stay away from the princess.
00:44:08I can't go on! Just let me die! My own child is right here and I can't even touch her!
00:44:13What's the point of living?!
00:44:15This is outrageous! Even the crown prince can't treat ordinary people like this!
00:44:19Her mother's ready to throw herself against a wall and they still won't give her back! Where's the justice?!
00:44:30Wait. Isn't she one of Edward's people? His housekeeper?
00:44:33Yes. She's mine. She's worked for me for years.
00:44:36My Bella. How many more surprises have you been hiding from me?
00:44:40Your Highness, Your Grace. The first day I saw that baby was at Prince Edward's estate.
00:44:48You did well, Mrs. Hale. You've earned this.
00:44:55Good. Very good. Edward? Edward? What are you going to use to fight me this time?
00:45:04You're right, Mrs. Hale. You're right, Mrs. Hale.
00:45:07Your Highness! That mother risked her life for her child. Please, show some mercy!
00:45:12Exactly! We've all seen what happened! You can't use your power to bully people!
00:45:17Daddy, they're not my mom and dad. I don't know them. They're fake.
00:45:21This was all carefully planned. Fine. Since you claim she's your daughter, I'll give you a chance.
00:45:29Tell me, that night when you left her in the woods, what colour was the blanket wrapped around her?
00:45:35Oh, God. That lady only told us about her birthmark and she never said anything about the blanket's colour.
00:45:40What do we do now? It was red. Yeah, that's right. Red. No, I got it wrong. It was green.
00:45:47Grass green.
00:45:49Wrong. She was wrapped in a pale yellow blanket, fine cotton with tiny white flowers.
00:45:53It's been three whole months. We can't remember clearly. We really can't.
00:45:56Yes, it was so long ago. Our memories aren't that good. We just got confused and said the wrong thing.
00:46:03When you brought the little princess home that day, she wasn't wrapped in any blanket at all.
00:46:09Dad, that bulging pouch on his left hip. It's packed with gold coins. So many. I can hear them jingling.
00:46:15Harris, search them.
00:46:20That's a lot of gold coins. A family hit by disaster. Too broke to afford food.
00:46:24How could they be carrying this much gold? Liars. They're all liars.
00:46:28Oh, I felt sorry for them. They just trampled all over our kindness.
00:46:33Talk. Who sent you? Tell me and I might go easy on you.
00:46:37It was...
00:46:48Dad, what happened? I can't see anything.
00:46:58Oh, dear brother. I was passing by when I saw the commotion, so I came over and these two liars
00:47:02were posing as the star moon princess's biological parents trying to scam their way through the gates.
00:47:06We can't let people like this ruin the kingdom of Elston, can we?
00:47:08Caleb, you killed two people outside my estate in front of over a hundred citizens.
00:47:12Oh, Edward, don't make it sound so personal. I was helping you. They admitted they were frauds.
00:47:18And we found these gold coins with no clear source. Should we leave them alive to keep tarnishing the
00:47:22royal family's name? You all saw it. These two were hired frauds trying to smear the royal family with
00:47:26their dirty tricks. They can't hurt anyone anymore. You can all go home without worry. The Elston royal
00:47:30family has always been fair. Caleb, you know exactly what you did tonight. I'll settle this score with
00:47:36you. Sooner or later. Oh, what are you talking about, brother? I only did what any little brother would
00:47:41do. Protecting the royal family's reputation is everyone's responsibility.
00:47:46Daddy, that bad man's got a lot of debts to pay. Sooner or later, he'll pay for all of them.
00:47:52You're only three months old. How do you understand so much? Because I'm not an ordinary baby.
00:47:58That's right. Our Luna is blessed. The smartest baby in the whole world.
00:48:03Daddy, that money pouch. Tell Harris not to put it away yet.
00:48:07What is it? There's a wax seal on the pouch closure.
00:48:15Caleb, you'd better have a good explanation. Why did those two liars have wax seals from
00:48:21businesses registered in your name? Father, my businesses deal with hundreds of merchants every
00:48:27day. It's hardly unusual for a seal to get out. Someone could have stolen it and used it to frame
00:48:34me.
00:48:34He's lying again.
00:48:39Then explain this. Three thousand gold coins vanished from your accounts after the auction.
00:48:44Why isn't there a single record of where the money went? Father, that money, I put it into a private
00:48:49investment. I just haven't entered it in the books yet. The money left his accounts, changed hands twice,
00:48:55and ended up with those two liars.
00:49:04Caleb, there's no hard proof tying you to this yet, but those two men were sent by you.
00:49:11Father, you've got it wrong.
00:49:12Enough, no more excuses. As of today, you're stripped of approval authority for the Royal Jewelry Committee.
00:49:18Harris will take over the estate for now. Go back to your residence and stay there. You don't leave
00:49:22without my permission. Yes, Father. My dear brother, you won this round.
00:49:37Edward, I know you're angry, but I don't have hard proof. The Royal Family can't punish a prince
00:49:42without it. All I can do for now is strip his power and keep him confined. I understand, Father.
00:49:47Father, you've done all you can. Luna, if one day Dad has to take you away from here and live
00:49:54somewhere else for a while, would you be scared? Oh, Daddy, I wouldn't be scared. Wherever you go,
00:50:00I go. And if that mean guy shows up, I'll punch him with my little fist.
00:50:08House arrest! Strip me of my power! He thinks that'll keep me down! He's dreaming! Edward,
00:50:17Luna. Caleb, do you realize what kind of situation you're in? And you still have the
00:50:21nerve to ask me here? Bella, I called you here because I've got a plan. What plan? If playing nice
00:50:28won't work, we'll play dirty. We kidnap that bastard and use her to force Edward to hand over
00:50:32control of the Empire. He loves that kid. He'll give in. Kidnap her? Are you insane? She's a royal
00:50:37princess. If we get caught, they'll hang us both. Then tell me, do you have a better plan?
00:50:41Fine, but how? Edward's surrounded by guards and that child never leaves his sight. How are you
00:50:45going to get her out? The royal family is leaving town for the summer next week. I've looked into it.
00:50:52One of the guard captains is drowning in gambling debt and desperate for cash.
00:50:56If I pay him enough, he'll do exactly what I say. We'll work from the inside and take the child.
00:51:09Your Highness, there's been an incident at the mine. The mine supervisor sent this emergency
00:51:13letter overnight. A cave-in? The supervisor can't handle it alone. I have to go myself.
00:51:18Daddy, are you leaving? Daddy has to go to the mine. I'll be back soon. Is it okay if Mary
00:51:23takes care of
00:51:24you? Then come back quick, Daddy. I'll wait for you in the garden. I promise. I'll bring you some
00:51:29raspberries from the mine. Big, bright red ones. Then I'll wait and eat them with you, Daddy.
00:51:35Double the guards in the side garden. Mary stays with the princess at all times. Have someone taste
00:51:39everything sent up from the kitchen first. While I'm gone, no unfamiliar faces near the princess.
00:51:43Yes, not one. Yes, Your Highness.
00:52:04Someone's over there. Little princess, what's wrong?
00:52:13Oh, my little princess, there's nothing over there. Are you sleepy? Want to go back to your
00:52:17room and nap? All right, all right, no more fussing. It's too sunny over there. If you don't like it,
00:52:22we won't go. There, there. The kitchen's on fire! Somebody put it out!
00:52:44You think wrapping me up means I can't remember the way? Take me away, and I'll lead Daddy straight to
00:52:50your hideout.
00:52:56Miss Mary! Miss Mary!
00:53:04Where's the princess? Where is she? I was holding her just now. Someone took her!
00:53:08Miss Mary! Your Highness! The palace is just ahead!
00:53:19What is that?
00:53:21Miss Mary! Your Highness! The little princess! They took her! They covered my mouth from behind!
00:53:40When I came to, she was gone! Your Highness, it's my fault! This is all my fault!
00:53:47Who did this? I don't know! I don't know! They were masked! They came from behind,
00:53:52I didn't see a thing! Search every mountain around the palace! Check the woods, the mines,
00:53:57the villages, every abandoned house! Turn them all upside down! I want her alive, or a body.
00:54:11Your Highness, someone tied this letter to the side gate of the palace this morning. No signature,
00:54:16no return address, just your name on it.
00:54:21Caleb.
00:54:23Your Highness, are you sure?
00:54:27I'll raid his estate. Now, move!
00:54:29Your Highness, don't! He's got the princess in his hands. If you press him too hard,
00:54:33he may lash out in desperation. The princess will be in danger!
00:54:36You're right, he can't make a move. If he feels cornered, he'll hurt her.
00:54:42Tell father, but keep it quiet. No troops. Don't tip him off.
00:54:46Yes, your Highness.
00:54:50Huh. It smells even more like stone in here.
00:54:55Hey, do you think there's something wrong with that little thing?
00:54:58I've been doing this for over 10 years. Never seen a baby get dragged and not make a sound.
00:55:02Not even a whipper. My mother said when a kid doesn't cry, they're scared whippers.
00:55:10Your mother doesn't know shit. Even a scared kid cries. It's instinct.
00:55:13She's like a stone. Just sits there, silent, while those eyes keep darting around.
00:55:19I'm telling you, it gives me the creeps. The boss said three days. Once we get what we want,
00:55:24we take the money and leave. I don't care whether she cries. Just don't let her cause trouble. Here, drink.
00:55:36Oh, for God's sake. Can you take off those boots and toss them outside?
00:55:39My feet stink. Then do something about your snoring first.
00:55:43What's wrong with my snoring? That's a man's voice. Powerful. Impressive.
00:55:48Give me a break. You're all talk. If you can go one night without snoring,
00:55:50I'll throw my boots into the deepest part of the mine and never wear them again.
00:55:54Fine. I won't snore. I'll be asleep by three. Listen. One, two.
00:56:02They're both asleep. Yes. I can escape.
00:56:06Keep going. Just a little farther. I can do this. Daddy's waiting for me.
00:56:12Hee-boo. Hee-boo. It's okay. Luna is not afraid of heights.
00:56:18I'm not afraid of the cold. I'm a brave girl. Oh, my gosh. There are glowing stones in here.
00:56:33Wake up. Wake up. That little brat got away. What? She got away? Where could a baby even go?
00:56:39No. You little brat. You actually untied yourself?
00:56:43Go on. Run, little thing. Hand over the stone and come quietly. Then maybe I won't spank you.
00:56:50No. This is for Daddy. Nobody's getting it. Daddy's coming soon. He'll teach you a lesson.
00:56:58It's the edge of her shoal. Your Highness. The mine shaft's narrow. There could be an ambush inside.
00:57:04I don't care if it's crawling with blades and fire. I'm going in.
00:57:13Luna!
00:57:22I missed you so much. I missed Daddy so much. Bad men grabbed me. There was this really deep hole.
00:57:31I almost fell in. It's okay now. Daddy's here. Daddy's right here.
00:57:40Daddy. Here. A jewel. I found it. It's for Daddy.
00:57:45Daddy sees it. You're the bravest girl in the world. Search the back of the mine. Now!
00:57:52Say, who sent you?
00:57:54I don't know what you're talking about. We were just passing through and stopped to rest.
00:58:00I'll ask one more time. Who sent you?
00:58:04I'll talk. I'll tell you everything. It was Prince Caleb. He paid us to kidnap the princess and hold her
00:58:10for three days.
00:58:11Then he told us to use this letter to blackmail the crown prince.
00:58:14Take them back and gag them. And search the deepest part of the mine.
00:58:19Yes, sir.
00:58:21Bella, you think Edward's clutching that ransom letter now, turning pale with rage?
00:58:26The more desperate he gets, the more he'll cave.
00:58:29In two days, that document giving up the throne will be sitting in front of us.
00:58:33When that happens, the throne is mine. The jewelry empire is yours.
00:58:40To our future.
00:58:49How dare you! This is Prince Caleb's private residence. Who let you barge in here?
00:58:54I did.
00:58:56Caleb, you hired killers to kidnap the star moon princess. We have a witness who confessed and we found the
00:59:02stolen evidence.
00:59:04This... this has nothing to do with me! It was him! Caleb did it all by himself! I don't know
00:59:09anything!
00:59:09Isabella! What the hell are you saying?!
00:59:12It was you! You kidnapped that child! You used me! I'm a victim too!
00:59:17Why are they still fighting? They both did something wrong. So why keep blaming each other?
00:59:23Because they're not good kids.
00:59:24Edward, you can't arrest me! I'm next in line for the throne! The king won't forgive you!
00:59:29Take them away. They'll await the king's judgment.
00:59:35Your highness, what about the Isabella? Take her too. She's guilty of just as much.
00:59:42Those bad guys got arrested. They can't hurt daddy anymore.
00:59:48No one will ever hurt you again.
00:59:55Butterfly, wait! I'm gonna catch you!
01:00:00Daddy! I almost caught it!
01:00:03Almost turned into a little mud monster. Look at your feet. They're covered in grass.
01:00:06Daddy, that day when I fell in the hole, how'd you know where I was?
01:00:14Grandpa helped me. Grandpa?
01:00:16Yeah. The second you were taken, I sent word to Grandpa. When he heard, he activated something very
01:00:21special. Our family, the Elston Royal Line, has passed down an heirloom for generations.
01:00:27The Eye of the Ley Lines. The Eye of the Ley Lines?
01:00:31It's an ancient star chart hidden deep beneath the palace.
01:00:34It can sense every royal-blooded person in the kingdom. Whether they're in a field,
01:00:38on a mountain, or by a river, as long as royal blood runs in their veins, it can find them.
01:00:42Wow! So Grandpa used it to find me?
01:00:45Grandpa activated it. A beam of light rose from the Eye of the Ley Lines, traced the kingdom's
01:00:51mountains and rivers, and stopped at the abandoned mine. As soon as I got the message,
01:00:55I gathered my men and rushed there.
01:00:57So, I didn't escape on my own. Grandpa and Daddy were looking for me.
01:01:02You held on until we got there. You were so little, but so brave. You climbed down from that
01:01:07table, made your way through that long, pitch-black mine, and even found the gemstone. Any other
01:01:11baby would have cried until they passed out. Of course! I'm the bravest!
01:01:19Want to go see the Eye of the Ley Lines? Yes! I want to see it!
01:01:23I thought I heard our little princess shouting from all the way over there. So you were talking about my
01:01:28old relic? Grandpa, Daddy said you have a huge glowing plate. I want to see it!
01:01:32You can see it! But first tell me, who do you love more, Grandpa or Daddy?
01:01:37Daddy! And Grandpa too! I love you both the most! And Mary! And Harris!
01:01:44We love you both!
01:01:47You're welcome!
01:01:49Yeah, thank you so much.
01:01:49I love you, Grandpa!
01:01:49You're welcome!
