[Nopplak Palace]

You traitor!

Are you trying to undermine the monarchy?

You guys are destroying Siam.

We intend to build a new Siam.

The old system is on the decline.

It will lead our country to a dead end.

This country belongs to its people.

Everyone should have equal rights.

Equal rights?

Is that what you think?

Do you really think
such lofty ideals
can actually make the country prosperous?

At least

We give hope to those who have nothing.

So you think the solution is to
turn everything that has ever existed upside down?

If what exists now were to

If it’s pushing the vast majority of people into the depths of despair, then

It deserves to be changed.

We are doing this for our country.

Are you doing this for the country?

Is an ungrateful person like you
really going to say something like that?

We're doing this for the public good.

I'm not repaying anyone's kindness with ingratitude.

You're repaying our kindness with ingratitude.

I took care of you.
I spent money on you so you could go to school.

Once you've gained enough knowledge
to be able to act all high and mighty toward me...

Has knowledge

Is that so you can serve those members of the royal family?

The upper class
simply wanted obedient, intelligent servants.

The entire time I was at the Warakunwatin Palace

So you've always thought that, haven't you?

I never forget the kindness I have received from the royal court.

However, I must choose the people.

That really deserves some praise.

Captain Popti

Do my very best to achieve my goal

That’s why you came back to be by Tinnakon’s side,
isn’t it?

I truly love Young Master Tin.

Does a scoundrel like you
even know the meaning of the word “love”?

His Majesty never once
considered me a suitable match.

You never believed in my love.
Because I'm just a servant.

However, let this servant prove it.

The idea that everyone should have equal rights

With dignity,
and the right to love

Love is for those who are sincere and honest.

It’s not for people who’ll do anything to get it
and use it as a tool.

I’ll say the same thing as before.

I am loyal to Young Master Tin.

Are you serious?

Have you really never used the Tinna Kon for political gain?

Even if you were to change everything in this world,

Even if equality is achieved,

You'll never be good enough for Tinnakon.

Hey

- Could you please give my grandmother my bag?
- Of course.

Let me go!

Traitors!
I'm going to k*ll you all! Can you hear me?

- Chat-san
- Tin, help me!

- Chat-san
- Young Master

Young Master, please don't follow me.

We have to go save Chat-nii, Eum

At this point, I don't know who's who.

Euwam is worried that the young master might get caught as well.

How is everyone at home doing right now?

The princess and her retainers are safe.

However, we have not yet received
any word from His Majesty Wassin.

Father

So, Young Master, aren't you going to Pop?

Even though I didn't get to see Pop,
this happened first.

That's right.

Pop is a soldier.

I'm going to talk to Pop right now.
So I can ask Pop for help.

- Yes
- First, I'm going to look for Pop.

Please be careful.

The Royal Thai Navy ship Sukhothai is expected to
arrive in Hua Hin tomorrow morning.

The king immediately

View the petition requesting His presence

Then we’ll know the answer:
Will the country return to peace?

Will blood be shed?

We have deployed reinforcements to strategic outposts around the capital.

If the regional forces were to counterattack...

First, they have to get past our g*n barrels.

Detain the members of the royal family.
Do not cause any chaos.

Until I receive a reply from Hua Hin

Understood.

It looks like you went to talk to His Majesty Washin.
How did it go?

What do you mean?

He was extremely angry with us

They accused us of being rebels

And he also said this

I used Young Master Tin to deceive someone

So right now, Young Master Tin is at the house you rented, right?

Once this is all over,
I’ll have to go and explain it to that person so they’ll understand.

"We're doing this for the public,"

I, too, hope that Young Master Tin will understand.

Pop, Pop Is Back

There's no problem, right?

There's nothing there, Mom.

The whole city is in complete chaos.

I heard the rebel forces have captured the entire royal family.

Mom was afraid you might get hurt.

And I don't know right now

I wonder how everyone at the Warakunwatin Palace is doing.

There's nothing here, Mom.
There's a soldier taking care of me.

Taking care of

How do I...

I'm watching over you, Mom.

To avoid causing confusion

Regarding His Majesty Wassin,
he is currently being held at Noplak Palace.

If the situation is resolved without incident,

If the royal family were to accept the change in government,

We will free that person.

We

That means

You

Are you the traitor?

No, Mom.

What is a traitor?
It is someone who conspires to betray the nation.

For the Sake of Personal Power

But we're doing this for the people's sake, Mom.

Are you going to betray the people who were so kind to you?

Why are you doing this, huh?

Even dogs don't forget the kindness shown to them.

I'll never bite the hand
that feeds me and gives me water.

But we're not dogs, Mom.

He's not the kind of dog who has to settle for leftovers dumped on his head.

We are human beings, and royalty are human beings too.

We should all be treated with equal honor and dignity.

I don't intend to keep bowing down to them forever.

First

The reason you went and picked on Young Master Tin again was...

You still love him...
I thought you still loved Young Master Tin deeply.

But did she go back to Young Master Tin’s place for a reason like that, huh?

I do what I have to do.

♪Like the sun and the earth, so far apart♪

♪It's so far away—we might not even be able to touch each other♪

♪Even if fate has decided that my wish won't come true♪

Pop is calling for the overthrow of the government—

Have you heard the rumor?

I've heard that before.

Pop shouldn't interfere with those people at all.

Your father suspects Pop.

I don't want Pop to get into any danger.

♪Soon, the night will surely give way to dawn♪

♪Will that day ever come? The day we’ll love each other♪

PT

Popti

Tinnakon

Pop, do you like it?

I had it custom-made for the two of us.

I like it

Pop, whoa

That's enough already.

Why? Why, Pop? Why?

Why?

Why?

Who? Who's sitting here?

Oh, Tin...

Why, why did this have to happen?
Why am I sitting here?

You said you were going to look for Pop, right?

Tin

Tin

Ting!
Euwam, fan me! Fan me quickly!

[June 25, Buddhist Era 2475

]

I hope they'll surrender.

I hope there isn't a civil w*r.

Have you received any reports from Hua Hin?

What is the royal family saying?

His Majesty the King

It seems they intend to approve the Constitution as we have requested.

Let's go, everyone—the revolution has already begun.

It worked, Pop.
There's been a change of government in Sham.

Are you worried about Young Master Tin?

I'll do my best to explain it so you'll understand.

"Accompanied by a personal letter from His Majesty the King"

"He made the following statement
to the Military Division of the People's Party's Capital Security Committee:"

"I value the peace and order of my subjects,"

"I don't want any bloodshed."

"And actually, I had already been thinking about it."

"Transform in accordance with this format"

"Therefore, I accepted to become a puppet and cooperate."

"Proceed with the plan to establish the government as intended"

"Amend the Constitution in a way that suits our purposes"

"If I refuse to become a puppet..."

"Other countries will likely not accept this new government."

What does that mean?

That person didn't want to see the people k*lling each other.

And so that the country can move forward

To prevent any further confusion

Allowed a change of government in Siam

The king does not want the country to fall into chaos.

He agreed to do as the People's Party demanded.

Lie

Lie

That's a lie.

Come on, everyone, hurry over here!

The king surrendered.

"By His Majesty King Rama VII"

"The Provisional Constitution of the Kingdom of Siam, Buddhist Era 2475 [1932]"

"You signed the draft."

"From this point forward, supreme power shall reside in the People's Representative Assembly."

"An executive body of the People's Representative Assembly was established"

"Known as the People's Committee"

"To carry out the duty of overseeing the administration of the state"

It's over now, Your Majesty.

Everything proceeded smoothly.

We are not rebels.

However, regarding the will that His Majesty accepted without bloodshed or sacrifice—

These are the people who responded.

You guys are really despicable.

You guys forced them to do it.

The king valued his country.

We should do as His Majesty wishes.

Please don't cause any more confusion.

From now on, Siam will belong to everyone.

It's not just for royalty

Don't go thinking things will go that smoothly.

As long as I live

Your hopes will never be fulfilled.

I will never give in to you guys.

It's the same for Tinnakon.

He'll never forgive you.

We will escort His Majesty to the palace.

Please come this way.

Euwam, what about Tin?

I'm awake now,
but I just seem to be tired.

How could something like this happen?

Didn't you say you were going to look for Pop?

Where did Pop go?

So why haven't Washin and Chat come back yet?

Euwam, I'm so worried.
What should I do?

Oh, chat

What's up with the chat?

Sit down. How are you feeling?

It's okay.
Those guys caught me and held me c*ptive.

He was just released and came out.

May the Buddha's blessings be with you.
Please stay safe.

His Majesty has returned.

Father

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Therefore, I have returned with His Majesty.

Pop, thank you so much.

Thank you for helping to keep Washington safe

Mom, you don't need to thank this guy.

Why

This guy is a traitor.

What did you say?

Pop

The Rebel

Do you really think you can change anything?

Even if the entire earth were to change,

I can't change the servant's blood within you.

At the end of the day,
I'll never be anything but a member of the lower class.

A member of the royal family like Young Master Chat

This is one of the reasons why the old system must be dismantled.

The old regime raised those born into the royal family.

Granting the right to oppress others

Exploiting the people

Even if I'm incompetent,

Relying solely on birth, it devours everything until it brings a nation to ruin

- Pop
- Pop

Let me ask you one question

Are we... the bad guys?

Are you saying I mistreated you that much?

That wasn't my intention.

I am always grateful for the Princess’s kindness.

However, the country must change.

Oh, well.

Whatever it may be, I’d like to express my gratitude as well.

For bringing my son to me—

Let's go, Washin!

I mustn't take up your precious time.

Captain Popti, right?

Let's go.

Young Master

- Young Master
- Stop!

You go home.

Go!

And don't ever think
you'll be able to set foot in this palace again.

I have something I'd like to discuss with Young Master.

- Your Highness
- My son probably doesn't want to talk

As for someone like you who sells out their country...

Let's go.

Just because you're in a position of power
doesn't mean I'm afraid of you.

Go!

- Your Highness
- Go

Pop, let's go back.
This is going to be a huge problem.

Father

Dad, I'm sorry.

I was such a fool, Father.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry

You haven't done anything wrong.

It's all that pop's fault.

He hurt you.
He hurt us.

Do you get it?

Dad's not going to let this end like this.

They're the ones who'll lose.

They should be made to pay for the wrongs they have committed against our country.

But it's my fault.

I'm sorry

Drink, Pop

Don't overthink it—just go with the flow.

If Young Master Tin really listened to what Pop had to say...

Maybe I'll come to understand pop better.

We were able to change the country

But I don't have anyone left anymore.

Mom's mad at me, too.

Young Master Tin, too…

They left me behind

In the end

What I choose is

Is it really worth it?

I'm sure I won't be able to answer that in just a day or two.

What We Do

It's just too big,
so no one can understand it right away.

If that's the case,
what should I do?

Prove it

That what we've done wasn't in vain

That will truly make our country a better place.

Someday

The people who were hurt and lost loved ones as a result of this incident

I know it's not a worthless loss.

I don't know either.

How long will it take?

Right now, I'm just...

If I could just see Young Master Tin one more time
and talk to him, that would be enough.

Pop

Maybe there's someone out there who can save Pop.

Princess

Thank you very much
for agreeing to come see me.

Is Jantora really
one of them?

Yes

I am a supporter of the People's Party.

Princess, do you dislike me?

Your father said that you all
envy royalty like us—

They say he's trying to destroy the country.

Princess, do you really think I'm like that?

I really don't know.

This reform is

Even members of the royal family, such as princesses,

You might end up losing something.

However, at the same time

There are still
many people who are gaining access to things they couldn't have before

Is that true?

The way Siam has been up to now is

It was decided by just a few people.

But from now on,
whether poor or rich,

All of us
have a role to play in shaping the future of this country.

Including me?

Yes, the princess has that right.

Choosing what you want to do

Choosing Your Own Path in Life

We don't just carry out what someone else has decided.

Maybe your father had misunderstood.

Actually,

I made plans to meet the Princess today because

It's because there are a few things I'd like to ask the princess for help with.

Siri,
Thank you for worrying about us.

Is Siri's father doing well?

My father is doing well.

Your Majesty, Lord Adur wishes to see you.

"Your Highness"

"I don't know."

"Does Your Highness still wish to read this letter?"

"But I still want to write."

"Even if I no longer have the right to ask His Highness for anything—"

"I know full well
what I've done."

"That I had betrayed His Highness's trust?"

"To an Unforgivable Degree"

I was thinking

If you choose not to

"I wonder if everything would have fallen apart like this..."

But I couldn't choose.

Because of what I saw

It’s not just about my life and His Highness’s life—

However, that cost the lives of many other people

The lives of people who have absolutely no opportunity to make their own choices

I'd like to see this world

A Place Where No One Is Left Behind

Simply because of their humble origins

And I still believe

The Day the Country Truly Changes

A Day When Everyone Has the Right to Choose Their Own Life

Our love is

Maybe there's no point in hiding it anymore.

I am not asking His Highness for permission.

I don't wish for that

As if I could expect His Highness to understand right away...

The one and only thing I have

What I would like His Highness to know is

Never

Pop...

There will never be a day when I stop loving His Highness

Princess

What did you think?

Will the young master come to see me?

P'Tin said she wants you to give it to Pop.

The Day Pop Tried to Change the Country

My uncle came all the way here with me,

The uncle dragged P'Ting back and confined her to the palace.

But Grandma and Euwam...

She helped me take P'Tin outside

First

P'Tin was planning to run away with Pop.

But I didn't get to see Pop.

But before that could happen, an incident occurred.

Young Master...

I gave up on everything

Just to Be With Me

So what can I give you in return?

Because of the betrayal

♪Like the sun and the earth, so far apart♪

♪It's so far away—we might not even be able to touch each other♪

♪Even if fate has decided that my wish won't come true♪

In the end

♪I believe that my hope of being with you is not just a pipe dream♪

Just as Your Majesty said

I am not worthy of being by Young Master Tin's side.

If the tree dies, I'll get mad.

Yeah, I'm doing it.

Do it right!

Get it together.
What's going on here, Pop?

Look over there, too—look at that spot.

Please focus a little
and do your job properly, Ms. Popti.

- Work? Work?
- Oops, Pop

Pop, let go

His Highness took advantage of me.
He's making me do it all by myself.

Can you help me?

The smell of sweat is unbearable.
Let me go!

- It smells, doesn't it?
- Yeah, it does.

- It stinks, doesn't it? It stinks, doesn't it?
- Yuck, it stinks, Pop!

It smells, doesn't it?

I told you it stinks, didn't I?

I'm so happy, Pop.

I wish we could stay together like this forever.

♪ My heart will never change ♪

Of course

I, too, will never let go of Your Highness’s hand.

♪I'll wait and long for the first light of a new day to shine through♪

I won't let you go.

As far as I can tell from the list of the 70 members of the Provisional People's Assembly,

There are also people from the People's Party,

Furthermore, the group includes a similar number of
senior bureaucrats from the previous administration.

He probably wanted to show that it was a compromise.

If you want something, just give in.

We have the ability to stand on our own.
We must find a way to eliminate them, no matter what it takes.

I'll leave it in the car.

What's going on? Where are you taking it?

What's that?

Is Noplak's father
in such a situation that he has to go into exile abroad?

There is more than one palace

However, many members of the royal family are currently concerned for their safety.

There are also people preparing to seek asylum in Penang

Some people are getting ready to go to Bandung on the island of Java

Siam is truly entering a dark age.

If things keep going like this, I wonder if our family will be all right?

I'm starting to get scared.

Please don't worry just yet.

Most of the members of the royal family targeted by the People's Party
hold high-ranking positions—

These are people who show no willingness to compromise.

And even today, many—

There are members of the royal family who support the change in government.

And it seems to be working out.

He also holds an important position in the new administration.

You selfish cowards!

Even though he was born into royalty,

Everything's a mess.

We haven't been to work for several days now, Father.

I still can't even get a job at a government agency.

Why on earth would I start working seriously now?

I have some work I need to finish.

"The People's Committee is responsible for
implementing the resolutions of the legislature."

"Instructions and Orders to Public Servants"

"Recommendations for the Appointment and Dismissal of Public Officials"

"It also includes a petition to His Majesty King Rama VII."

"Upon receiving His Majesty the King's signature"

"It is to solicit your opinions on various matters."

Are you planning to fire civil servants?

Could you at least give us back our cash first?

I'm afraid of being investigated.

If word gets out that I invested the ministry's money in you,
it'll be really bad news.

Young Master, don't you see what's going on in this country right now?

Just how desperate are you?

See?

It's not like we're that unlucky, you know.

What did you say?
Cancel some of the newspapers?

I don't want to do something like this either.

However, those who cling to the old system
are attacking us in the newspapers almost every day.

We live under an oligarchy [rule by a small group]—

Some people say he's doing it for the benefit of his own faction.

However, if we were to do something like this,
it would be like taking away our freedom.

Before the change in government

Regardless of which side they're on,
they're debating the issue through the newspapers.

If you do something like this,

Can we really call this a democracy?

The first thing is just to get through this period.

Once everything has settled down,

I'll talk to upper management
and promise to get them to understand.

We have fought for democracy.

I know that freedom is very important in this country.

Pop, what do you think, Pop?

I don't think there's any particular harm if it's just temporary.

Right now, our country needs unity.

Pop is right.

Currently, by the People's Representatives

Work on drafting the constitution is proceeding smoothly.

Even the royal family was very cooperative.

However,

This is a list of bureaucrats who must resign immediately.

This is because these individuals could pose an obstacle to democracy.

[Prince Chatthorn Warakunwatin]

[Prince Tinnakon Warakunwatthin]

Really?

Does everyone have to leave their government agencies?

Young Master Chat, please stay strong.

The People's Party folks are thinking, "Let's put out the fire before it spreads."

Currently, among members of the royal family and civil servants,

Those who grew up under the old regime and refused to obey them

Everyone will be laid off

It's not just us

Regional Police Chief, Director of the Opium Control Bureau

All the directors of the Land Bureau and the Maritime Affairs Bureau were also taken out.

So, what should we do?
What should we do?

How are we going to get by?

Don't worry about work, Chat.

Government agencies are such huge organizations, after all,
so even if we weren't there,

I can find plenty of replacements.

The important thing is

Right now, we should be more concerned about our own lives and safety.

Yes

Father

Father

I'm sorry

It's all my fault that everyone's had to go through this.

"I'm the one who did this, Father."

I told you it wasn't your fault.

It's all because of those who betrayed the country.

But Dad will never forgive those guys.

I can’t let my Siamese be destroyed

Sir

Regarding the dismissal of all members of the royal family at Warakunwatin Palace,

I disagree.

His Majesty Wassin is the vanguard of the Blue Emblem.

The higher-ups believe these people are trying to destroy us.

Therefore,

Everyone at the Warakunwatthin Palace
must resign from their government positions.

Including Young Master Tinnakon

However, Young Master Tinnakon has nothing to do with the blue badge.

I'd stake my life on it

If the higher-ups don't believe me,
I'll go and ask them myself.

Take it easy, Pop

I know you're close to Prince Tinnakon

However, please don't let your personal issues
get in the way of national reform.

Up until now, I’ve brought up personal issues

The trust His Highness has placed in me

I've been using it for my work.

You should trust me, too.

Young Princess Tinnakon will never harm the People's Party.

We've made it this far.
We can't afford to make any mistakes, Pop.

I know

It's fine if you make me keep an eye on Young Master Tin all the time.

But I have just one request

Please do not remove Young Master Tin from his official duties.

Sir

With this transformation,

I, too, am risking my life just like everyone else.

Without ever demanding a government position or money,

There is only one issue here.

What I wish for is

Sorry, Pop.

I wasn't the only one who made this decision.

The higher-ups—

I believe this is the best approach.

Why... why does it have to be the young master?

Since I started working here,

I have never seen anyone as hardworking as the young master.

Even though he is a full-fledged member of the royal family,

It's fine to have a low-ranking official like me do it.

However, the young master would never

Think about it.

It feels like fate is toying with me

Your Highness

Captain Popti, what can I do for you?

About His Highness's Work

I'll help you right away.

I will make sure His Highness returns to his official duties.

I'll go talk to upper management.
I promise.

That's not necessary.

Right now, I'm no help to you.

Please don't go to all that trouble for me.

Your Highness

Your Highness, please don't do that.

I've already noticed

It's my fault.
I'm very sorry.

However, the love I feel for His Highness is

That's how I really feel.

Pop

If I could turn back time...

Are you planning to keep doing this?

do

On the Change of Government

Whatever it may be,
it must happen.

But there's just one thing I won't do

It is to involve His Highness in this plan.

I will not let His Highness suffer like this.

Okay.

Thank you for telling me the truth.

I believe in you

If Your Highness would trust me,

Can we go back to the way things were before?

Could you please stay by my side?

Pop

Pop, I get what you're trying to say.

I understand your idealistic views.

And I believe that you truly care about this country.

But

We aren't even allowed
to just be a couple who love each other, Pop.

No

I don't want to.

No, Your Highness.
Please don't say that.

I love His Highness with all my heart.

Let go

♪Like the sun and the earth, so far apart♪

♪So Far Away♪

"Goodbye," Pop

May good luck come your way

Among the things you believe in

I'm going to be there to see you succeed.

Prince Chat Tone has been indicted on embezzlement charges

Please wait just two weeks.

There's no way to earn that much money.
