Warrior Princess Page #2

Galdan and Tsetsen

are on the verge of battle.

When two Mongolians are

at each other"; throats,

that's good for me.

May one wolf devour the other.

Listen, I'd like to

spend more time

with you and the children.

- Daddy!

- Daddy!

- Mommy.

- Hi, darling.

Easy now, sweetie.

There's my boy.

Did you miss Daddy?

- Yes, Daddy.

- I missed you.

- Me too.

- Daddy?

I'm hungry.

Aren't you always, huh?

I would like

to thank Tsukhur Uvsh,

one of the wisest and most respected

of the Western Mongolians,

for inviting us to be

here with his son...

on this beautiful afternoon.

Ochirt Tsetsen,

you speak far too highly of me,

for I am not nearly

as noble as you are.

- Nor will I ever be.

- Hmm.

I think it would be worthwhile

to repeat what you just said

to our son-in-law Galdan.

It is a lesson he needs

to learn for his own sake.

My overly ambitious nephew

is much too proud.

He acts as if he is

the only nobleman

- in Western Mongolia.

- He has become far too powerful.

Just look at what he controls now:

Samarkand,

Kazakh and Kyrgyz.

We cannot let this go on.

If we don't act swiftly,

we won't be able to stop him.

Aravdan, Zaisan,

Aldartaij-- all of you

conspire to tear us apart,

to produce a rift between

the Western Mongolians!

Father, listen.

You said this would be a feast,

but instead this is a conspiracy.

I refuse to take part!

Father, have you stopped

for one moment

To think about Ahno?

Calm down, son.

Easy now.

Lord Tsukhur Uvsh,

haven't you had enough

of political schemes?

Listen, all of you here.

I warn you this will end very badly.

My lord, do you really plan

to attack my father?

Please tell me it isn't true.

My men are forced to pay

taxes to Ochirt Tsetsen,

and those who couldn't

were attacked by his soldiers.

Up until this point,

I've done nothing

because of his old age

and of course his relation to you.

I have overlooked his arrogance.

But from what I heard,

your Uncle Tsukhur

is behind all of this!

So what?

I've always suspected that.

The two of them--

Tsukhur Uvsh and your father--

were plotting.

It was because of you, Ahno,

- that I closed my eyes.

- But this is not the time

to fight amongst each other.

My lord, it's time

to strengthen our armies and unite

so we can prosper together!

Precisely!

Those are nice words,

but they don't reflect

your actions, Ahno.

You told me you wanted

to help build a great nation,

and yet you insist

on protecting your father?

Who's plotting against us!

Why do you protect him?

My lord, Darkhan has arrived

with his army of 1,000 troops.

Thank you, General Makhan.

Wait.

Go and remind Danjilla

how to punish a slave

who disobeys his king and ruler.

Yes, of course, my lord.

The disobedient slave

who acts against his ruler?

Shall be put to death.

So it is come to this then?

So now...

I must choose between

my husband and my father?

Answer me, Galdan.

You know it breaks my heart

to see you cry, Ahno.

However, this is no longer

simply a family matter.

My lord,

this is extremely important to me.

I am begging you, please

listen to what I'm saying.

Please, my lord,

for the sake

of our children we love,

please forgive my father.

Ahno.

Listen, I...

Please don't tell me that.

I've always thought of you

as the anchor in my life.

I have thought of you

in times of joy and grief,

but please, don't tell me...

that I'm wrong about this.

I will hunt down

and slaughter everyone

who goes against me!

You will?

There's a saying that once

you have pulled your bow...

you must let go.

My lord,

we've captured the traitor.

It is done.

Let's go.

Do you really believe

I will not plead for my life?!

Far from it, nephew!

Let me give you

some very valuable advice.

Listen carefully.

The Central Mongolians

will never ever recognize

someone like you as their khan!

You don't belong to the dynasty.

Even Emperor Kangxi is wiser than you.

He has much better chances of uniting

the Mongols under one rule

than you ever will!

You hear me?

Now you listen to me!

I spared your life

when you took the part

in that traitorous conspiracy

to murder my brother Senge.

I let it go!

You are the one

who started this feud

which has divided our people

and created a rift between all of us.

I cannot ignore your betrayal

one moment longer!

Give him a slow

and painful death!

How was your journey,

my dear Father?

It was fine.

Oh, what a sweet child.

There.

Oh, you're cute as can be.

How old are you, hmm?

Father?

Ahno, your daughter, is here.

Is it true?

Ahno!

My child!

Come here.

Come.

How are you feeling, Father?

My daughter.

How was your trip?

- Are you exhausted?

- Hm-mmm.

- I had a good trip.

- I can't believe you're here.

Please don't worry about me.

- Here.

- You don't know

how many times

I prayed, my dear Ahno.

I prayed for this.

I asked God to let me see

my beautiful daughter again

before I die.

- My dream has come true!

- Yes.

My sweet daughter.

You have suffered so much

because of your father's

and your husband's political

ambitions and conflicts.

It must have been hard for you.

It is okay, Father.

I'm just glad the nightmare

is finally over...

- Mmm.

- ...and that everything is better.

My daughter...

take good care of yourself.

Yes, Father.

Come.

It is time for your father's medicine.

I'll prepare some for him.

Father?

Your medicine.

Father?

Father?

Father!

Father!

It's me-- Ahno.

I'm here. Father.

My lady,

Prince Tseveenravdan is here.

You shine even brighter

than the moon

every single time I see you.

So how have you been?

You say I shine brighter

than the moon?

That's pretty bright.

Now tell me,

do you really mean it

or are you just teasing me, hmm?

Of course I do.

You are as bright

as the moon and the sun,

like they say in the fairy tales.

What are you painting?

My father brought me

some oil colors yesterday.

I'm trying them out.

It looks beautiful--

very vibrant.

Careful.

If you're looking at me like that,

your great queen might get jealous.

I think you're the one who is jealous.

I came to tell you I want

to make you my second queen,

and live happily with you.

Live happily?

And what if my father refuses?

I have a feeling if you were the king

then maybe...

it would be a different story.

Check!

You know you're giving

away your knight.

I'm afraid it's mine now.

Then I take it back.

You do it all the time.

All right.

If you say so, my dear.

I've been playing terribly.

I don't know what's going on.

As they say, a fallen wrestler

always has his excuses.

Ahno.

Yes?

There's something

I need to tell you.

Uh, what is it?

I--

I've decided to take a second queen.

And who is this girl you speak of?

Who is she?

Please tell me.

She--

she's your brother's eldest daughter...

Akhai.

Akhai?!

But she is engaged

to your nephew Tseveenravdan!

I have already grown fond of her.

I've decided I want her

as my second wife,
