Warrior Princess Page #3

and who she's engaged to

means nothing to me.

Galdan, please reconsider.

You can take anyone else,

but not her.

And what if I don't

need anyone else?

It's Akhai I want.

If you take Akhai's hand in marriage,

then Tseveenravdan will

rise up against you.

Hmph! I know Tseveenravdan

has been plotting against me

to take my throne.

And I also know

that he's resented me his entire life!

But no matter what,

I will marry Akhai and no one else.

Only her.

I am telling you this

not to seek your approval,

but because you're my great queen.

My lord...

the Dalai Lama

sent a messenger.

He arrived today

and brought us a loyalty gift.

A loyalty gift.

Why?

May the gods help

my husband realize his mistakes.

Danjilla?

Why haven't you gotten married yet?

Forgive me.

Greetings, brother.

They say that you are going

to join Galdan and become his subject,

as if losing your fiance

to him wasn't bad enough.

Queen Ahno has found me

another girl to marry.

She too will make a suitable queen.

I do not need Akhai.

What do you think of that?

Are you serious?

Who cares?!

Her husband shamelessly took

Lady Akhai away from you,

and the queen's gesture

is one of pity.

And to top it all off...

you want to become his servant?

I don't believe you.

Brother.

You know we cannot compare

ourselves with Lord Galdan.

Even Kangxi fears him

and the great army he amassed.

Why do you speak so fondly of him?

The man is pompous and ignorant!

Didn't he steal from us?

That throne is ours

by birthright and he took it.

When will we take back

everything we've lost?

Listen, why don't we accept

Kangxi's help

and fight against and defeat Galdan?

Think about it, brother.

It's our only hope.

No, never!

I'd rather take my own life

than join Kangxi!

Brother, let's use

Kangxi's forces to defeat Galdan.

After that,

we can sever all ties with him.

I'm telling you

it's possible and we can do it.

Brother...

don't be such a fool.

We are the sons of Senge

of Western Mongolia.

No matter how far we fall,

we will never join forces

with the Manchurians!

All right, if that's the case,

our path ends here.

Listen carefully, brother,

you will regret this.

I only hope that your stomach

can hold down Galdan's feast!

My lord, my uncle,

I would like to speak.

You are the man who united

all the Western Mongolian tribes

and it is a great honor to stand

before you here today

and tell you what I am about to say.

I pledge my unfailing loyalty

to you, my lord and uncle.

My lord?

Forgive me being frank,

but I must tell you I don't believe

your nephew is here

to pledge his loyalty.

Why do you say that?

Why would you say

something like that to me

knowing it could mean the destruction

of my relationship with my nephew?

It's a feeling I have deep in my gut.

As your mother used to say...

be alert in times of peace,

be patient in times of trouble.

She was a wise woman.

That's enough.

I do not want to hear?

Any more of your

treacherous words tonight.

I would like to share

that I am truly delighted by your words.

As all of you witnessed,

my brother's son joined us

in this feast today

to pledge his loyalty

to me, his Lord.

Now that he has joined forces

we will be more powerful,

and I grant him

his own territory to rule.

Our country just became even stronger.

Father!

Father,

the messenger came back

with tragic news.

The Lord

of the Central Mongols

killed my uncle

and slaughtered his whole army.

Tusheet Khan!

Danjilla, what is that

supposed to mean?

Please, my lord,

you must calm down.

Both Central

and Western Mongols

have their own objectives,

but all Mongols share the same goal.

One common aim.

Father, the Central Mongols

also killed another leader

who was on his way

to join forces with us here.

They took over his army

of 10,000 troops.

What did you say?!

Did they also kill

my friend Degdeekhei?

Damn it!

My lord.

I know that Kangxi

is behind all of this!

He's the one who created

this division between us Mongols.

He wants me to be alone at the end

of this, so he can finally defeat me!

I'm sure of it!

I bet the Central Mongols

are proud of their foolish trick.

Mark my words, I will deliver

a crushing blow to them all...

before they go too far!

Wouldn't it be better to wait

and check the facts?

Be quiet!

If two Mongols fight one another,

it will only give

the enemy an advantage.

Please, sir!

These Central Mongols,

they murdered my brother

and my good friends, too.

Who has broken the ancient rules

that have always been held

by the Mongol people?

Rules that were respected

and adhered to?

It is him-- it is Tusheet Khan

who has destroyed our peace.

They may have managed

to kill my brother,

But I will stop

at nothing-- nothing--

To make sure the Manchu-s

never take control of our land!

I personally will unite the Western

Mongols and the Central Mongols.

I will rebuild

our great empire once again!

Balsan, why do you enter

this sacred room so rudely?

Please, Your Highness, forgive me.

Go ahead.

My queen, I have terrible news.

Tseveenravdan has taken

all of our supplies.

He has gone and he took

everything with him.

What?

When did this happen?

It happened

three days ago, my queen.

A messenger found out this morning.

Tseveenravdan is on the move.

There's more, my queen.

Several of his men

came during the night

and those men kidnapped

Queen Akhai.

Prepare the horses,

we are going after them!

Throw the stars now!

Let's go!

May the heavens

punish those who betray their home!

The gods may not forgive me,

but I know they will bless

my brother instead!

- Did you bring the wood?

- Yeah yes, here you go.

It's cold up

in these mountains, really cold.

Yes. We need to keep the fire going.

When are we going to eat?

I am famished. Aren't you?

My lord, there is

someone here to see you.

Who?

I prayed every night that I would see

my loved ones again soon.

And God heard my prayers.

Tseveenravdan is contemptible.

I chased down

he and his men along with my archers,

and we managed

to catch up with them,

near Tsagaandavaa, but...

Tseveenravdan escaped

and then his brother attacked.

We had no choice.

About Akhai...

I didn't have

any strong feelings for her.

When I think about it,

it was because

of my love for you...

that I-- I had broke

my holy vow as a monk.

It feels like our wedding

was just yesterday, doesn't it?

As a monk, I thought...

that we foolish humans tend to...

mistake moments of suffering

for moments of true happiness.

When I look back,

I get the sense that...

I brought you

more pain than joy.

I'm afraid a man's life

is simply too short.

No, don't say that!

I have been

the happiest woman in the land

since the day I married you.

Will] remember?

I fell in love with you

the very first time I saw you.

I was young then

and I have never stopped loving you.

I could die for you a thousand times

and more if you asked me to.
