Silly Kuan, your imagination runs wild again.
Don't worry about him right now. Turn around.
That's... my Mother Talisman.
Yes, this is your Mother Talisman.
Today, I'll give it to you—
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Venerable One, here is Shi Kuan's Mother Talisman.
Good job. Go and wait for me.
Understood.
Shi Kuan, you're finished.
I bet you never suspected that my spy infiltrated the palace!
Your Highness.
A'Kuan.
How much time do I have?
A-An incense stick...
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
That... that's good.
Your Highness...
Lift me up.
Remember, what I'm about to tell you.
Shi Kuan, it doesn't matter if you're the strongest warrior in the North.
As long as I have your Mother Talisman,
there is no way for you to stop us.
A snap of my fingers, and you will be reduced to ashes.
- The humans you protect did this to you! - Can you remember?
I also...
want to tell you...
a story.
Can't deflect the wind and frost
Famed for endless pining
All those unsaid words
Condensing like sand on the fingertips
Can't tell right from wrong
Willing to bear the outcome
The sin burned my heart
And I started to forget myself without realizing
I wanted to fulfill that dream for you
Drowning in tears unable to forget
Because blood has stained and melancholy is engraved
Devoting a lifetime to quashing murders
Even if I meet him in the next life
Can he still remember who I am?
I've always been fearless
I know you bear no resentment or regret
Forking out all to retrieve a past
Just for one gamble
Thousands of years of yearning
A wish once made will never be weathered
Waiting for fate's answer
Under the Acacia Tree ♫
A long time ago, there was a little boy and a little girl.
They met one day.
The little boy fell in love with the little girl at first sight.
Afterward, in order to protect the little girl,
he trained hard at fighting with his fists.
But he was too focused on trying to protect the little girl.
As a result, he never thought about
marrying that little girl.
Slowly growing distant in status
The little girl couldn't understand
why the little boy would risk his life to protect her,
yet he wasn't able to accept her feelings.
Countless attempts ended in countless heartbreaks.
Boundless
Gradually, the little girl understood.
It was because the little boy is a demon,
while the little girl is a human princess.
In a kingdom where demons are treated as slaves,
demons can't choose their own destiny.
The little boy felt he was unworthy of her.
So he didn't dare.....
He never hoped to be loved by the little girl.
The little girl never blamed him.
Because the little girl understood,
the little boy could only train to fight.
However, the little girl
was capable of much more.
Your Highness.
Enough! Stop blabbering nonsense to each other.
Shi Kuan, kill that woman immediately!
Otherwise, I'll burn your Mother Talisman!
Do you hear me?
Swine!
Do you really think I don't have the guts to kill you?
Am I... about to die?
It no longer matters if I live or die.
Because right now is the happiest moment in my life.
Only at this moment, I understand that cowardice was a mistake
Near my ears long-lasting thoughts linger
The heart of a boulder wants to make a sound
Fine.
Enjoy your happiness before you die.
This Demon Tamer Kingdom will soon be mine!
You and your Mother Talisman will be reduced to ashes together!
What? What's going on?
Why isn't Shi Kuan dead?
Is this really happening?
Is this real?
He's really not dead.
H-How is that possible?
Muster all your demonic power. Use the spell
that I just told you.
Your Highness.
Beast! Beast!
Warriors of freedom, I command you to kill Shi Kuan right now!
Shi Kuan's Mother Talisman was burned, but he didn't die.
What is going on?
Has the demon talisman been undone?
Shi Kuan can't be killed.
Did you see that just now?
Shi Kuan's Mother Talisman was burned, but he didn't die.
- Did he figure out how to undo the Mother-Child Talisman? - These idiots.
- Such idiots... - How do you break the Demon-controlling Talisman?
Big Brother Kuan! What is he doing?
Wh-What is he doing?
B-Big Brother Kuan is reciting a strange spell.
Don't listen to bewitching lies!
No spell can undo the Mother-Child Demon Tamer Talisman.
Follow my orders!
Kill Shi Kuan.
Don't forget that your Mother Talismans are still in my hands.
We can't kill him.
Don't kill him.
If we kill Shi Kuan, all demons in Demon Tamer Kingdom
will lose their chance to regain freedom.
We can't kill Shi Kuan!
Darn you.
I'll burn you all to death first
as a warning to those who defy me!
No!
Impossible. This can't be happening.
This is impossible.
We're okay. We're still alive.
We aren't dead.
- We're still alive. - This is impossible.
It's absolutely impossible.
- This must be due to Big Brother Kuan's spell! - All of you...
can die!
Not again!
Your Highness!
They won't die.
In Demon Tamer Kingdom, the Talisman is the kingdom's foundation.
Each generation of kings spent their lives studying and perfecting the Demon Tamer Talisman
to secure their rule.
So there is truly no spell to undo the Demon Tamer Talisman.
But demons have coexisted with humans for so many years.
Humans gradually discovered that demons are just like them.
They feel joy, anger, and sorrow.
- We're saved. - They have feelings.
We're saved!
- The eighteenth ruler of our kingdom - We're still alive.
fell in love with a female demon
and exhausted all his efforts
to find a spell to break the Demon Tamer Talisman.
I found out about this secret only a few years ago.
Wh-What is this?
Granny Wu, is everything on this stone wall true?
Can the Demon Tamer Talisman be undone?
Yes, it can.
The eighteenth king spent many years
finding this solution for the female demon.
This method was an act of treason,
but the elders maintained their respect for the royal family
and did not destroy this spell.
But this method can only be known when one ascends to the throne.
Once you're married,
- the Court of Elders will offer this spell to you. - The rebels were attacking furiously back then.
So I had to find a suitor quickly and marry.
Then I could inherit the throne.
So that's why you
insisted on marrying even when a rebel army attacked the imperial city.
You knew the imperial city would fall.
You already knew you would die, didn't you?
But I also knew A'Kuan
won't let me die before him.
Do you know?
I'm just like you.
How could I
stand by idly and watch
as you die?
Right now, you have undone their talismans.
You have saved the demons of this kingdom.
They will make you their leader.
- Big Brother Kuan. - Big Brother Kuan.
A'Kuan, from now on,
you are North Mountain Demon Emperor.
Big Brother Kuan.
- Respects to Big Brother Kuan. - You will also be known...
Shi Kuan is king!
as the Demon Emperor of Destruction.
Respects to Big Brother Kuan.
The kingdom of my clan
It's a little different
I'm gradually discovering
A path once unknown
Demons feel scared, too
Humans might hurt them
But when I'm in danger
A'Kuan always protects me
My secret wish
Soaring under that flowering tree
I want to get closer to your heart
Waiting for peace to come
When will you understand?
