  • (New Calendar, Year 680: Lor River City)
  • (After an entire day of war deliberations in the barracks, Zhu Ruosheng returns to the General's office in the evening)
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (Although Cloud City was reclaimed, Tyre Coalition's forces remain to the north covetously. Defenses around Lor River City and Cloud City are at an all-time high)
  • (As Zhu Ruosheng ponders the military deployment, she takes a look inside the General's office for anything unusual. Suddenly, she notices a string of nightingale fruit by the window)
  • Patrol: Say, over there...what is that?
  • Zhu Ruosheng: ...Just some fallen fruit. Stop being so paranoid, and focus on your task at hand.
  • Patrol: Yes, your highness.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (Ordinary in appearance but high in medicinal value, nightingale fruit is extremely bitter and difficult to swallow...although some are known to enjoy its flavor)
  • (Zhu Ruosheng takes the fruit and returns to her room, where all is silent as usual. She turns around to lock the door, but suddenly someone leaps out from behind her)
  • Yue Qianshuang: Zhu Ruosheng!!!
  • Zhu Ruosheng: ...
  • Yue Qianshuang: Well? Did I scare you?
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Not at all. I knew it was you when I saw the nightingale fruit. What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to get me something to eat?
  • Yue Qianshuang: Hahaha, wouldn't you like that? Since you guessed that it was me who broke into the General's office, can you also guess why I'm here?
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (Ponders for a moment) If you're here...it must have something to do with Cloud City, right?
  • Yue Qianshuang: Clever, indeed! When the Tyre Coalition laid siege to Cloud City, they managed to murder its chief designer...
  • Yue Qianshuang: Ten days ago, I received orders from Cloud Capital's royal court to investigate the matter.

  • (Ten days ago, in Cloud Capital)
  • (Behind a veil embroidered with nine dragons, a little girl of six or seven years of age sits. Her assistant, King Haku, stands solemnly beside the throne)
  • Yue Qianshuang: Cloud City has fallen to the enemy, and Clan Tiger is to blame. You must be punished.
  • Cloud Empress: Refrain from speaking in such a manner, General.
  • (The sophistication of the Cloud Empress' words denotes that she was taught how to respond. Nonetheless, her childish voice resonates within the hall with confidence and majesty)
  • Cloud Empress: Huo Qizhou is a powerful stylist, an outstanding martial elite... His achievements in the name of the Cloud Empire are vast and impressive, and...well...
  • (The Cloud Empress appears to have forgotten her lines, and looks to Haku at her side for help)
  • Bai Yongxi: But this confrontation between the two kingdoms was different.
  • Cloud Empress: Right, that's it! Huo Qizhou was uncharacteristically timid in battle, and it shocked everyone. You don't need to blame yourself so much.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Huo Qizhou is a member of Clan Tiger. As head of the clan, I, too, share in the responsibility of Cloud City's capture.
  • Yue Qianshuang: In addition, there are still many questions about this war that remain unanswered...
  • Yue Qianshuang: When the Tyre Coalition was preparing to invade, why did Huo Qizhou refuse to protect Lor River City?
  • Yue Qianshuang: After Nidhogg arrived at the northern border of the Cloud Kingdom, why did he personally challenge Cloud City's chief designer, even after victory was assured?
  • Yue Qianshuang: Even if they have retreated from the city, the Tyre Coalition remains stationed in the northern part of our kingdom. Their work has yet to be completed.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Your Majesty! Please, allow me to travel to Cloud City, so that I may thoroughly investigate the matter!
  • Cloud Empress: (Nervous) Well...what do you think, big brother...I-I mean, King Haku?
  • Bai Yongxi: There may not be anything worth investigating in Cloud City anymore.
  • I'm going to to see for myself.
  • League Till didn't retreat.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Even so, I believe I should personally confirm this.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Is there any other information regarding Huo Qizhou? Who is backing him? I must find the answers to these questions!
  • Yue Qianshuang: So long as the Tyre Coalition lingers to the north, Clan Tiger cannot let down its guard.
  • Bai Yongxi: Your Majesty, please allowYue Qianshuang to investigate this matter.
  • Cloud Empress: I...
  • Bai Yongxi: Clan Tiger has protected our kingdom for generations. She will not fail us.

Prize


  • (New Calendar, Year 680: Lor River City)
  • Yue Qianshuang: So, that's why I'm here. To find the truth behind this matter.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Yue Qianshuang, those doubts you mentioned also bother me.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: But I am only a strategist of Lor River City. I need special permission from the court to launch an investigation.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Nevertheless, I asked General Zhong to monitor Huo Qizhou's residence after his imprisonment. That way, any evidence would be reasonably preserved until a formal inspection could be arranged.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Just as I thought, you're reliable as always.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: We're running out of time. I'll take you to Huo's residence.
  • (Zhu Ruosheng brings Yue Qianshuang to Huo Qizhou's residence for a separate investigation, but find nothing suspicious)
  • Yue Qianshuang: There isn't anything here...Perhaps it is as King Haku says: the evidence may have been removed.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Impossible. As arrogant as Huo Qizhou may be, he was born a commoner and only attained his position by marrying into Clan Tiger. He has no supporters among the nobility...
  • Zhu Ruosheng: There is no way he could done away with the Cloud City battle report on his own...
  • Zhu Ruosheng: And yet, there isn't a single shred of information here! No clues, whatsoever! That's why I have my doubts...
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Someone must have taken something important from this scene...could it have been...her?
  • Yue Qianshuang: Who do you mean, Zhu Ruosheng?
  • Zhu Ruosheng: A maid ... She worked in the Lor River City General's office for six or seven years. She was a loyal and reliable worker, but she suddenly resigned just last month.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Sounds suspicious. Zhu Ruosheng, would we be able to find her whereabouts in her work file in the office?
  • Zhu Ruosheng: ...I'm not sure, but she has been away from Lor River City for a while, so it may take time to pick up her trail.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Let me think...
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (I never thought he would plant a spy for so many years in the General's office...but isn't that one of his preferred methods?)
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (In any case, we have no evidence, and that maid is long gone...)
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (I hope I'm mistaken.)
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Qianshuang, let me assign some people to this investigation. You rarely come to Lor River City, so let's seize the opportunity and travel to Cloud City for a look.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: General Zhong told me that they recently captured several Coalition Soldiers attempting to break into Cloud Palace.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: Perhaps their objective lies within Cloud Palace!
  • Yue Qianshuang: Alright, next stop: Cloud City! Lead the way!

  • (Yue Qianshuang and Zhu Ruosheng arrive in Cloud City, and find the mayor having a discussion with Zhong Lizi)
  • Zhong Lizi: The General, and the Strategist, as well! To what do I owe the honor?
  • Yue Qianshuang: No need to be so polite, General Zhong. Musika tells me that you recently apprehended a number of Coalition soldiers attempting to infiltrate the palace?
  • Zhong Lizi: Yes. I'm currently speaking to the mayor about it. We caught and imprisoned the would—be infiltrators, but it seems someone managed to break into the palace two days ago...
  • Zhu Ruosheng: The Tyre Coalition's tenacity is formidable, indeed. What does Cloud Palace hold for them?
  • Yue Qianshuang: Why not enter Cloud Palace and investigate? Perhaps the answers we seek will present themselves.
  • Cloud Mayor: General, you may not know, but Cloud Palace is a remnant of the ancient Cloud Empire.
  • Cloud Mayor: Legends speak of a thousand-year old curse that afflicts any who dare trespass, one that traps the intruder's mind in an endless illusion.
  • Cloud Mayor: That's why no one dares enter Cloud Palace. No one is certain what lies within.
  • Cloud Mayor: For thousands of years, only one person remains unaffected by this curse...
  • Yue Qianshuang: Do you mean...Lunar? I heard that five years ago, after Cloud City defeated the northern army, and acquired the Twin Nebula Blades...
  • Yue Qianshuang: I never thought such magic existed in the world...
  • Cloud Mayor: Indeed, her immunity to the curse appears to be tied to her relationship with the Twin Nebula Blades.
  • Cloud Mayor: Anyone else who entered the palace emerged irreversibly deranged.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: So what you're saying is that we don't need to enter Cloud Palace?
  • Zhong Lizi: Precisely. I will station soldiers at every exit and simply wait for the intruder to show himself.
  • Yue Qianshuang: General Zhong, don't forget that Cloud City's safety rests on your shoulders now. The enemy is a master of stealth; don't expect success to suddenly land in your lap.
  • Yue Qianshuang: The Tyre Coalition brought out everything to claim Cloud City, including military action. If the palace holds the secret they are desperate to obtain, why are we still here?
  • Zhong Lizi: ...You're absolutely right. Allow me to act as vanguard!
  • Yue Qianshuang: There's no need. Zhong Lizi, assign your soldiers to guard outside. Mayor, please take us to Cloud Palace.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: I'm going with you.
  • Yue Qianshuang: Zhu Ruosheng, you...It's all right, just stay with Zhong Lizi and wait for my good news.
  • Zhu Ruosheng: (Smiles) You can't change my decision, no matter what you say. Besides, if we get caught in that curse's illusion, we might be able to help each other out, right?

  • (Qianshuang nods and glances at Zhu Ruosheng. Side by side, the two enter the mysterious, ancient palace)

  • General Forza: That's very good, but shouldn't you be reading in your study? Why are you still practicing your martial arts?
  • Little Girl: I...but daddy, those books are so hard! I get so sleepy just looking at them...
  • (The man holds the little girl in his arms and walks to the study)
  • General Forza Remember, Yue Qianshuang: your brain is more important than matching and martial arts in winning a battle.
  • General Forza: Now, back to your readings, and don't let mommy catch you, okay?
  • Yue Qianshuang: (Yue Qianshuang...? Right, that was me...and that was my dad... But where's mom? Is mom going to be here, too?)
  • (The little girl begrudgingly returns to the study, and unrolls a long, heavy scroll detailing military tactics)
  • (Just then, a tall, elegant woman enters and approaches the little girl)
  • Forza's Mother: Military Arts and Applications... this is quite advanced reading. Do you understand it?
  • Little Girl: (Shakes head) Nope... Mommy, why don't you explain it to me?
  • Yue Qianshuang: (Mom...I remember her teaching me about military tactics. I always had lots of questions, and she patiently answered all of them, one by one...
  • (Yue Qianshuang faces the study, staring out of its carved windows as her deepest memories are reproduced before her)

  • Bai Yongxi: I believe we share the same goal: to stop at nothing to ensure peace in the Cloud Empire.

  • Yue Qianshuang: His title, the Great Protector...back then, and even now, it belongs solely to him.

  • Yue Qianshuang: Zhu Ruosheng, was it? Well, having made so many erroneous assumptions with such few words, you must not be particularly bright, I take it?
  • Zhu Ruosheng: You......

  • Yue Qianshuang: This wasn't Zhu Ruosheng's doing...

  • Yue Qianshuang: (A little bit worried) Ming Shuiyuan, aren't you leaving with us?
  • Ming Shuiyuan: I want to stay here for a few more days to research the palace's curse... You go on ahead.
