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.
