Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

I slept for too long.

In a day...

mornings are my favorite.

Why?

Because I get to see a man grow from a child into a warrior.

One moment, I'm still worried about him.

But then the next, I'm in awe of him.

As the Iron Wielder's woman...

you'll never be let down.

The Iron Wielder will have a child soon.

My Zi Yan...

I'll give you the very best.

Tell me what you want.

I'll bring it all to you.

Watch out for Shuofeng He Ye.

Don't let him overtake your honorable reputation among the clans.

It's been years since the Shuofeng Clan killed your people.

It's about time you let it go.

We're now allies.

The lives of my people...

How can I just forget about them?

If someone kills me...

will you let him off as well?

You should forget when you have to.

Our five clans are now one alliance.

Which clan doesn't have past grudges against one another?

If we were to bear past grudges...

we'd have conflicts within the alliance.

Then we'd remain a heap of sand.

Trampled at will by our enemies.

Iron Wielder, you're right.

I've been petty.

- My lady. - My lady.

- My lady. - My lady.

- My lady. - My lady.

Eat.

Have you heard from the mining team?

They discovered an ore vein and have marked it down.

My lady, can the mining team return to get some rest?

Don't bother. Let them excavate the area on the spot.

However, the mining team has been away from our main base for half a year.

That was why I had them take their families along.

There are the Helan Clan's cavalrymen guarding us as well.

The sooner they get it done, the safer it is.

Yes!

The Suqin Clan?

You're all engineers?

Ignore him!

Weakling!

Where is your main base?

Where is your main base?

Are all of the Muru cavalrymen women now?

Why don't you just kill us outright?

Our blood shall light up the path to our holy shrine in death!

God Pandar...

He is waiting for us!

Don't you dare forget...

the rules of North Continent.

You mustn't kill women.

Or children who aren't tall enough to reach a horse's back!

A woman...

How much ration will she eat up in a day?

Pa!

This is the list of officials that Your Highness asked for.

It's just that I don't understand why Your Highness suddenly asked for it.

I'd like to get to know them.

Is that not allowed?

What exactly is Your Highness going to do?

His Majesty clearly can't handle the state affairs anymore.

Your Highness, do you not realize what you have done?

I've done nothing wrong.

But I did hear quite a lot of sins uttered upon the royal court that day.

Your Highness, are you going to seek revenge on these officials?

If you insist on saying so, I'm not bothered to explain.

Consort Yin Rong is already dead.

So is Miss Pan Xi.

Punishing them for it can't make up for anything.

They didn't have to die.

I despise you.

If others forced your mother to be killed...

If your father was humiliated

would you put up with it?

My parents are long dead.

They starved to death.

Even though I can't put up with their deaths

I don't know who to seek revenge on.

Your Highness.

If you're born of an ordinary family

you'll only harm yourself by acting selfishly and willfully.

If you're born of a wealthy family

it is your family that you harm by acting selfishly and willfully.

If you're born to a family of emperors, but act selfishly and willfully

you'll harm...

the entire nation.

- Yu Xin Ji. - Present.

What sort of a nation is it that you wish for?

Everyone gets to eat.

Before people die from hunger

they won't leave their children on the steps of wealthy families.

However, that day upon the royal court

I heard every thought in their minds.

None of them care about this at all.

That's why I think that some have it all.

But they know no limit to their desire.

Since it's hard to tell the good from the evil

and the right from the wrong

we'll leave it to the people to judge and differentiate.

I want everyone to know of the secrets these officials conceal.

I want them to know who actually let the people down.

Your Highness, is it really the people whom you care about right now?

This is the teaching of the Muru Cavalry.

From the moment you wield a blade to kill

you should know that you will also die under a blade.

I hereby offer these words to Your Highness.

I'd like to see

just how badly a person has to be bullied to still put up with it!

If my woman were killed

and my mother had to be humiliated even after her death

I'd be sure to make everyone know that I have never been kind.

My father still refuses to see anyone?

Crown Prince, I'm sorry.

His Majesty still refuses to see anyone.

However, Master Yuan has many stories in his mind to tell His Majesty.

I'll arrange a seat for Your Highness!

Don't bother.

I'll come again tomorrow.

Yes.

Master Yuan Hai Qing.

You were the one who exposed that my subordinates are freeloaders

who covered up taxes on salt?

You seemed to feel wronged.

Muyun Sheng...

He came into my manor.

When I woke up in the middle of the night

he was staring at me, right in my room.

He took me away.

I just followed.

He took me to His Majesty's quarters.

He made me talk.

Fortunately, His Majesty refused to see anyone.

Muyun Sheng wouldn't give up.

He then took me to restaurants and tea houses.

Brothels...

He made me talk there.

I did.

I said it all.

Take your own life.

Write a letter before you die.

Just claim that you've gone crazy.

I just acted as the regent, so I can't afford to be disgraced.

No! I'm not the only one who was charmed by him!

Master Qin was also--

How many people has Muyun Sheng approached?

There are seven that we know of.

His Majesty trusts us so.

He put the Duan Empire into our hands.

Our good days are just about to begin.

Men...

We must learn to cherish such luck.

Good days should be spent well.

Yes, I understand.

Muyun Sheng must not live.

I'll get this done right away.

Tell me...

How should I draw snow?

White.

How should I paint white on white paper?

If all else is back, then the snow will be white.

You've served me for such a long time.

But I can never remember your name.

Xi Liu.

Your Highness often calls me Lan Yu'er.

Xi Liu?

A name as pretty as a painting.

Yet I still can't remember it.

Your Highness has kept too much on your mind. You shouldn't.

There's too much black around you.

The snow would seem dreary.

Do you know that I can read minds?

I'm no one of any importance.

Your Highness need not listen--

Why?

Someone said that you terrify everyone.

Only when evil changes for the better can people lead a good life.

The people only cared about their own lives.

They would rather not know of the power struggle within the palace.

Now that they do

it's just like children who witness their parents arguing.

They feel only panic.

They said that if Your Highness doesn't exist

then there can finally be peace.

It seems that you're also doing this for the people.

Let her leave.

Let her live.

Let her see what true peace is.

Yes.
