:26:03
My marrying one will be good
for my father's career.
:26:08
You are fortunate
to marry into such a noble family.
:26:12
Am I?
:26:13
I wish I were like the heroes
in the books I read.
:26:16
Like you and Li Mu Bai.
:26:19
I guess I'm happy to be marrying.
:26:23
But to be free
to live my own life...
:26:26
to choose whom I love...
:26:29
That is true happiness.
:26:32
Do you think so?
Let me tell you a story--
:26:35
About you and Li Mu Bai?
:26:36
Yes.
:26:38
Did you know I was once engaged
to be married?
:26:42
No, really?
:26:43
His name was Meng Si Zhao.
:26:45
He was a brother to Li Mu Bai
by oath.
:26:48
One day, while in battle...
:26:50
he was killed by the sword
of Li Mu Bai's enemy.
:26:55
After, Li Mu Bai and I
went through a lot together.
:26:58
Our feelings for each other
grew stronger.
:27:01
But how could we dishonor...
:27:03
Meng's memory?
:27:05
So the freedom
you talk about, I too desire it.
:27:08
But I have never tasted it.
:27:10
Too bad for Meng, but it's not
your fault, or Li Mu Bai's.
:27:18
I am not an aristocrat,
as you are...
:27:22
but I must still respect
a woman's duties.
:27:27
Don't distance us.
:27:29
From now on, let's be like sisters.
:27:36
Then as a sister, let me wish you
happiness in your marriage.
