Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

What you once did to your most beloved...

Your favorite son already knew.

So?

He is, after all, my flesh and blood.

From now on, I...

I'll acknowledge this son of mine openly.

You only realized his value when you almost lost him.

Your Majesty, you've neglected him for over ten years.

You now expect that half-Charmer in him to act sensibly?

Or the half-human part of him?

Nanku Ming Yi!

Don't act ignorant.

In the palace, the human part of him might pose an even greater threat.

I mean well by advising you to take caution.

I've wanted to ask you...

Yong Yin Hall is a restricted area in the palace.

No one dares to mention it.

How would Sheng know about it?

I do not know.

Sheng fell ill soon after I punished He Ge.

You and your son bear a grudge against me.

A grudge?

That maid who knew about it all...

Who fed the Heart Wrencher to her?

Who sealed off Yong Yin Hall for Your Majesty?

Everything that you refuse to do and even think about...

I did it for you. I thought about it for you!

Yet now, Your Majesty doubts me?

The attendant's confidential report stated that

it was Great General Muru's son who led Prince Sheng to Yong Yin Hall.

Muru Han Jiang.

Even if you trust Great General Muru...

Don't forget about the prophecy that Ling He Qing has foreseen.

Gifts bestowed by His Majesty.

To congratulate Prince Sheng's recovery.

By His Majesty's oral decree

Prince Sheng is to nurse himself to health as soon as possible.

The hunting trip is just around the corner.

Prince Sheng.

You're not to trespass into the Sword Chamber without permission.

Prince Sheng!

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Qin Ming, step out.

Yes!

Please lock me up in Yong Yin Hall with Mother.

Afterwards, no more hatred will be stirred up because of me.

I won't allow it.

Why?

You've done no wrong.

Why would I have you grounded?

Has Mother done anything wrong then?

Yin Rong!

What happened to you?

Your Majesty...

I'm one of the Charmers.

My physical form came into being out of my love for you.

Love is everything to me.

That stab in my heart...

It's over between us.

I'll bid you farewell.

We're never to meet, ever again.

I only hope that you'll treat my son well.

Don't let him become like you when he's grown up.

Yin Rong!

Since you still miss Mother, why won't you visit her?

Are you annoyed at me?

Father had wanted to kill my mother.

I've only said a few words.

You can't even tolerate that?

That is all you will dare to utter!

What else can you do?

All right now.

Sooner or later, you'll understand what it's like in the palace.

Does it mean that much to be an emperor?

In pursuit of power, do you have to be so ruthless?

Ruthless?

It's the same with everyone.

If you wish to attain something, you're sure to lose some.

Then there must be something wrong with this world.

Think of matters that are of use to you.

What is of use to me?

Turn your ideas into power so you can influence others!

Allow everyone to live and prosper!

That is... of use to you.

Excuses.

You only said that to make yourself feel worthy!

Sheng...

What nonsense is it that you think about?

Have I been too lenient to you?

You're clueless about the people's sufferings!

Enough.

Stop thinking about other matters.

Just get ready for the hunting trip.

I won't do as you wish.

- What did you say? - I won't do as you wish--

Who taught you to be so rude when talking to your father?

Have you been spending too much time with some people?

Stay away from me.

Anyone who comes near me is jinxed.

You're not going on the hunting trip?

The hunting trip?

It's just a different form of bullying the weak.

How is the prey any different from people like us in the palace?

If you don't like being in the palace, you can leave.

- Leave? - Exactly. The world is huge.

What's the fun in being cooped up in one place?

How do we get out of here?

Here's one ready-made.

Nanku Qi, you're late.

I've spent a bit more time writing it.

A bit too long.

The Muru family holds military power.

How hard can it be to spread rumors about them?

Do you have to take that long?

I have to make it seem real all the more because of how easy it is.

Thankfully, Your Highness had carefully described

your wife's usual tone in her letters.

Muru Shuo plotted to assassinate His Majesty during the hunting trip.

He wrote to inform my wife in advance to stay away from the trip.

Unfortunately, I happened to stumble upon this letter.

I place righteousness before family.

If the other arch princes still refrain from sending troops

to take down the Muru family...

that wouldn't make any sense.

Your Highness is indeed wise.

You shall surely achieve greatness.

Now... we'll just have to wait for Mister Mo to strike.

Without His Majesty, without Muru Shuo...

the world...

What will happen then?

All I ask is for Your Highness to remember...

the Nanku family.

Indeed.

How could I possibly forget about the Nanku family?

You seem to be unwell.

It will take two more days before we get to Deer Mountain.

I've specially hired craftsmen of the Wise tribe to add another wheel.

I spent quite a sum on it.

It's still just as bumpy.

You'd better sit more comfortably.

I'll take you to meet Ming Yi.

Ming Yi will arrange for you to meet His Majesty.

However...

you must also do what you promised me.

The surname of Muru shall soon vanish from Novoland.

The sooner, the better.

You're not to whine about hardship when you live with me in the future.

When do we get to leave?

We'll have plenty of chances along the journey.

The weather outside the palace is really nice.

The autumn hunting trip of Tian Qi!

The Muyun Silver Army is in charge of guarding the hunting ground this year!

What the Muru family is capable of, we can do it as well!

Can we not?

- We can! - We can!

What are you snickering at?

I just find it strange.

You're a woman but you had to act like a man.

I refuse to accept it! Why can't women do what men can?

From now on, he's my slave fighter.

He will fight battles for me.

I am Shuofeng He Ye.

I'm the warrior of the Shuofeng Clan.

I am a king!

Women in our clan can do this as well.

I thought you're a lot more capable than this.

Guards!

Take him away and hang him up!

You lost.

What are you laughing at?

Just you wait.

Are you going to get back at me?

Muyun Yan Shuang, just you wait.

In the future, I'll make you my queen.

You like me?

Men of the Shuofeng Clan always get the women they want.

Guards!

Untie him and lock him inside the cage.

Yes!

The rivers out here flow so differently from those in the royal city.

There are many more that you'll find different.

We've been out here for almost four hours.

We can get some rest first before we set out.

How are we going to eat this without ivory chopsticks?

I'll have to eat much more!

Dragging someone like you along with me, I'll be worn out.

I'm looking forward to what awaits me in the future.

I don't think I've ever been so happy.

Should we make a run for it?

Our horses can't outrun theirs.

Step back. Leave this to me.

Forget it!

I am a Muyun.

He has to obey me.

Muru Shuo greets Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You've had enough fun.

Please head back to the palace.
