00:00Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away,
00:03there lived a King Trevor with his lovely queen, Helia.
00:07Trevor was loved by his entire kingdom for being kind and just.
00:13But his wife was greatly despised, as she was extremely impatient.
00:18You're taking too long to braid my hair.
00:22I'm sorry, Highness, but this hairstyle is quite complex.
00:27How dare you speak back to the queen!
00:29Leave this palace at once!
00:32Oh, Helia, why did you do that?
00:38She was trying very hard.
00:40She wasn't quick enough.
00:43You must be patient.
00:45I'm not patient.
00:47At times, the queen's impatience would ruin the peace,
00:52and the poor king would hurriedly try to recover the situation.
00:58Helia, you shouldn't have spoken to the ministers that way.
01:02They were so slow with their words.
01:05They really need to speak faster.
01:09Any faster and I'll be in trouble.
01:13King Trevor wondered how to make his wife understand to be patient.
01:18One day, he roamed about, pondering deeply about Helia.
01:23I don't understand.
01:25She was so much nicer and kinder before marrying me.
01:30I don't understand.
01:32I don't understand.
01:34I don't understand.
01:36I don't understand.
01:38I don't understand.
01:40I don't understand.
01:42I don't understand.
01:44I don't understand.
01:46I don't understand.
01:48I don't understand.
01:50I don't understand.
01:52I don't understand.
01:54I don't understand.
01:56I don't understand.
01:58I don't understand.
02:00I don't understand.
02:02I don't understand.
02:04I don't understand.
02:06I don't understand.
02:08Where is Trevor?
02:10He's been out for ages.
02:12But it's only been ten minutes.
02:16What? Did you just talk back?
02:20Helia, look.
02:22I found a baby floating in the stream.
02:24A baby?
02:26But how did...
02:28A note.
02:30To whoever finds my baby,
02:34please take care of her.
02:36The couple were greatly baffled.
02:38But the king adored the little child
02:40and decided to bring her up in the palace.
02:44You shall be named Liane.
02:48Liane was such a warm and loving child.
02:52And over the years,
02:54soon grew to be a lovely young woman.
02:58Oh!
03:00Oh, dear.
03:02Are you all right?
03:04Oh, dear. Are you all right?
03:06Oh, I am. Thank you, your highness.
03:10She is so kind.
03:12Don't you think she should wear the legendary crown?
03:16Hush!
03:18If the queen hears you,
03:20she'll throw us in the dungeons.
03:22More work, less gossip, you silly girl.
03:26Indeed, there was a special crown kept in the palace.
03:30It was known that the crown would glow
03:32and grant magical powers to the person worthy of it.
03:36But it hadn't glowed for many years.
03:40This had angered the queen.
03:42One day, Liane mischievously started to examine the entire palace.
03:48Wandering around, she came to a forbidden tower.
03:52Wow, this place sure is long.
03:56Oh, what's this huge door?
03:58She went and pushed the mysterious door with all her might.
04:02Ugh! That was so heavy.
04:05Huh? Why is there a crown here?
04:09As she stared and drew closer,
04:12the crown suddenly started to glow.
04:14She was mesmerized by it, but was too scared to touch it.
04:19I'd better tell mother and father about this.
04:22Father! Mother!
04:24I just came from the forbidden tower.
04:27Liane, I told you to stay away from there.
04:31But there's a crown there, and it glows.
04:36Glows?
04:38Liane told them all that had happened.
04:41It glowed? Oh, I'm so happy for you.
04:46I don't understand.
04:49I'll tell you when you're a little older.
04:53While the king was ecstatic,
04:55the queen looked on angrily.
04:58That night, she snuck out of the palace
05:01and went to see a witch whom she knew.
05:04Madam!
05:06I know why you are here.
05:09It's because the crown has glowed, hasn't it?
05:13What do I do?
05:15Don't worry, dearie.
05:18I've prepared this ring for you to put on your husband's finger.
05:23The magic inside will make him hate and ruin everything she makes him touch.
05:28Helia nodded and soon left the palace.
05:32The next day, she went to her husband
05:35and slipped the ring on his finger.
05:38Oh, what's this lovely thing?
05:42Just a small gift from me.
05:46Father! Mother!
05:48King Trevor glanced at Liane and winced.
05:52The magic had already started working
05:55and her very voice irritated him.
05:58Liane, speak softly.
06:01Oh, I'm sorry.
06:03I just wanted you to taste this cake I baked.
06:06Oh, it's so salty.
06:10How could you give me something like this?
06:14What? Um, no.
06:17It tastes sweet to me.
06:20And then she lies.
06:25The magic in the ring had caused the sweet cake to taste otherwise.
06:29In the same way, it ruined everything that Liane gave the king
06:34and made him hate Liane all the more.
06:37Over the days, poor Liane would find herself ignored by the queen
06:42and hated by the king.
06:45So after a while, she would usually be alone.
06:49Maybe they're having a difficult time ruling the kingdom.
06:53I'll just stay out of their way until they feel better.
06:57On one such lovely day,
07:00she visited the room where the legendary crown lay.
07:04It's a very pretty crown.
07:07I wonder what it'll look like on me.
07:09Whoa! It's really...
07:12Huh? What's happening?
07:15I shall only be worn by the worthy.
07:20Who... who are you?
07:23I am the legendary crown that answers whatever you wish to know.
07:29Oh, well, there's only one thing I want to know,
07:33and that's why are my parents so strange lately?
07:38And so the crown told Liane everything about the magic ring
07:42and about her mother.
07:45So my father doesn't hate me.
07:48It's just a spell.
07:50But my mother is after the crown.
07:54No, it's not your mother who wants the crown,
07:58but the witch.
08:00Your mother is impatient, yes,
08:03but she was still a wonderfully kind lady.
08:07The crown told Liane that the evil witch
08:10had used Helia's weakness against her.
08:13Thus, Helia had been under the witch's spell all these years.
08:18The witch wants to rule the kingdom through my powers,
08:22but they are too strong for her,
08:25and so she wished to control me through Helia.
08:29But how do we break the spell of her mother?
08:33The queen must break it herself by learning to be patient.
08:40Liane thought for some time and suddenly had an idea.
08:45My mother loves lilies.
08:47Maybe if she learns to grow them and be patient with them,
08:51the spell will break.
08:53But how do I get them?
08:55Ask me, and you shall receive it through my magic.
09:01Using the crown's magic,
09:03Liane created a garden of beautiful pink lilies.
09:07Later that day, the queen passed by and saw the garden.
09:12She immediately fell in love with them
09:15and soon ordered her gardeners to take care for them.
09:19So, when Liane came to see,
09:22she was unhappy to see the helpers working in the garden
09:26and not the queen.
09:28Oh no, that's not how it's supposed to be.
09:32Luckily for Liane, the gardeners didn't like Helia
09:36and so didn't bother to look after the lilies carefully.
09:41So, when she next visited the garden,
09:44she was enraged to see some of the flowers withering.
09:48If you can't look after the lilies, then I'll do it.
09:53No one is allowed near them anymore.
09:56And, to Liane's delight,
09:58the queen was now seen working every day in the garden.
10:02It was difficult at first.
10:06And the witch even tried to use her powers
10:09to make Helia hate them.
10:11But Helia's love was too strong
10:14that she couldn't get angry at them ever.
10:17Being patient with the flowers
10:19soon turned her to be patient with others too.
10:23I'm sorry, Highness, but the soup will take time.
10:28Oh, that's all right.
10:30I've asked for a new type of soup to be made,
10:32so let him take his time.
10:35Everyone soon noticed the change in Helia
10:38and started to warm up to her.
10:41One day, Helia was sitting in the garden
10:44when Liane came and joined her.
10:47Mother, haven't the lilies bloomed yet?
10:51Well, as long as they're healthy,
10:54they'll bloom in their own time.
10:56I can wait till then.
10:58And quite suddenly, the queen fainted.
11:01Oh, no! Mother, what happened to you?
11:05Magic Crown, what's wrong with her?
11:08The spell has been broken.
11:11Now she will be fine.
11:14Just as the crown had said,
11:16the queen was completely fine the very next day.
11:19The first thing she did
11:21was to remove the ring from her husband's finger.
11:24The spell wore off immediately,
11:27but the king had memories of what had happened
11:30over the past few days.
11:32How could I have behaved that way
11:35to my sweet Liane and Helia?
11:38I should have been more attentive.
11:42Don't blame yourself, love.
11:44It's all over now.
11:46Let's forget everything.
11:49I have something to give you.
11:52Liane raised her crown
11:54and placed it on the queen's head.
11:56It continued to glow.
11:59Seems like both of you are worthy of the crown.
12:04I feel Liane should have the crown.
12:08She is truly worthy
12:10as her patience has saved us all.
12:14And so, the kingdom was a joyful place once again.
12:19The queen soon recovered
12:21and was known to be the most patient of all.
12:24The king was very happy to see this.
12:27He had banished the witch
12:29so that she would never cause trouble to his kingdom again.
12:34Liane continued to be as sweet as ever.
12:37She taught everyone how patience is a great value
12:41and can bring about a huge change
12:44if you just learn to appreciate time and people.
