00:00Curo y Manuel vs El Ocadilla
00:07Lorenzo falls y Yana es alive
00:09En The Promise, Curo's confession puts Lorenzo against the ropes
00:14Just when Manuel discovers a secret thread
00:16The emblem of a falcon that leads to the Cifuentes house
00:19And Leo Ocadilla as the mastermind of the plan
00:22While Pia and Angelis sabotage the tyrant Cristobal, Catalina
00:29Jacobo and Martina rescue Adriano from a cabin where the man was playing on both sides
00:34The trap explodes in the living room
00:38Leo Ocadilla and Fuentes are uncovered
00:40Lorenzo tries to escape and Angela kills him with a frying pan
00:44Arrests, betrayals and the impossible twist
00:49Lorenzo reveals that Yana did not die
00:51She was hidden in a convent in Chantabria
00:54Reunion or new ambush
00:58Don't miss this episode
00:59The air in Lorenzo's office smelled of Victoria Rancia and Cognac Caro
01:04Curo felt like every molecule of oxygen was turning into poison in his lungs
01:10The words, his forced confession, hung in the air like a shroud
01:17He had surrendered his last defense, his last shield, and now he felt naked, exposed to the predator smirking from the other side of the polished mahogany
01:27Lorenzo de la mata, captain of Lujan, swirled the amber liquid in his glass, the clink of ice against glass a macabre beep for Curo's surrender
01:38So that was it
01:42Lorenzo muttered
01:43His voice a caress of silk on a blade
01:46A resentful lackey, a heated argument in the hanger, and an unfortunate shove
01:54An almost believable story, nephew
01:58Almost
01:59Curo did not look up from the intricate design of the Persian rug
02:03He felt the weight of Lorenzo's gaze, a physical pressure that threatened to crush him
02:10He had told the truth, or at least the truth he knew, the one that had tormented him for weeks
02:17The argument with that lackey, his cryptic words accusing him of Yana's death, the struggle
02:25But when verbalized in front of Lorenzo, the story felt hollow, incomplete
02:33As if he were describing the shadow of a monster without ever having seen the creature itself
02:37I gave you what you wanted, Curo whispered, his voice cracking
02:43Now leave me alone
02:45Lorenzo let out a short, dry laugh, devoid of mer
02:49Oh, my dear Curo, this has only just begun
02:55You have confirmed that you were there
02:57You have confirmed your involvement
02:59You have put the noose around your own neck
03:03I will only have to decide when to pull it
03:06He leaned forward, his face transformed into a mask of cold malevolence
03:12And believe me, I will enjoy every second of choosing the right moment
03:18Now get out of my sight
03:20You disgust me
03:24Curo stood up, his legs shaking like a newborn's
03:28As he left the office, he felt not relief, but the icy embrace of condemnation
03:35He had shown his cards as he had feared, and Lorenzo now held the entire deck
03:40As he walked through the silent corridors of promise, the echo of his own footsteps seemed to mock him
03:48Each hammer blow hammering the axe of his future
03:50But deep in his despair, a small ember of doubt refused to be extinguished
03:58The lackey's last words, you killed her
04:03You and those of your ilk, why include him or Curo in such an ominous plural?
04:07What was it that he was not seeing?
04:11The confession had not been the end of the road, but rather the confirmation that the path was much darker and more tortuous than he had ever imagined
04:18Meanwhile, in another wing of the palace, the concern was a physical discomfort
04:24Catalina, with her usual pragmatism shattered by anxiety, paced back and forth in the blue room
04:31Martina, sitting on a plush sofa, twisted a lace handkerchief in her hands
04:39Her eyes fixed on the large grandfather clock that marked the passage of time with maddening solemnity
04:44Jacobo, standing by the window, watched the driveway with an intensity that betrayed his own unease
04:53Although he tried hard to maintain a facade of calm
04:55They should have been back hours ago, Catalina said, stopping short
04:58A tour of the land doesn't take an entire afternoon and part of the night
05:06Something has happened
05:09I know it
05:10Perhaps the man from Baydarres is simply thorough in his inspections
05:11Martina offered, though her voice lacked conviction
05:13Or perhaps they stopped to eat, to discuss business
05:18Discussing business in the middle of the countryside
05:28Until nightfall, Jacobo replied without taking his eyes off the gathering darkness
05:32No, Catalina is right, this is not normal
05:36The Baydarres man was a man of strict routines and impeccable manners
05:40Almost predatory in their perfection
05:42Tardiness did not fit his profile, it was an anomaly
05:48And in the world of the aristocracy, anomalies rarely boded well
05:53Adriano is intelligent, Jacobo continued, more to convince himself than others
06:00He knows how I handle men like the man, he will be fine
06:05But the words rang hollow in the fear-laden room
06:08The man's visit was not social, it was an assessment, an inspection of the land that Adriano
06:17With his idealism and deep agricultural knowledge, hoped to use to demonstrate the intrinsic value of the lands of promise
06:23A value that went beyond simple sale
06:25But the man was not a man to be impressed by the beauty of a harvest or the dedication of day laborers
06:33He saw the land as an asset, a number on a ledger
06:39And Adriano, with his passionate defense, could have become an obstacle
06:46An obstacle that in certain circles was eliminated without too much consideration
06:50Night fell over the promise and with it a cloak of uncertainty that felt as heavy and suffocating as the winter fog
06:59The tension was not exclusive to the salons of the lords
07:04In the kitchens and the service corridors the atmosphere was equally electric
07:08The tyranny of Cristobal, the new butler imposed by Leo Cádia
07:15Had fractured the camaraderie that had once been the pillar of their existence
07:19It had divided them, pitting them against each other with suspicions and petty denunciations
07:26Pia, with the wisdom granted to her by years and scars
07:31Had proposed a common front, a silent but united resistance
07:34We cannot allow him to poison us, she had said in a clandestine meeting near the boilers
07:41Her voice a firm whisper
07:43If we stick together, if we share information and protect each other, his power will fade
07:51He is a man who feeds on fear and mistrust
07:57Let us let him starve
07:58Most nodded, their faces illuminated by the dancing fire of the cauldron
08:04Reflecting a mixture of fear and determination
08:07But Petra, as always, was the source of discord
08:12Her eyes darted around, absorbing every word, every gesture, not to join the cause, but to catalog it and sell it to the highest bidder
08:20Her loyalty lay not with her comrades, but with power
08:26And at that moment, power held the faces of Cristobal, by extension of the mysterious and manipulative Leo Cádia
08:33Later, in the solitude of the ironing room, Angela shuddered when she heard Captain Lorenzo's firm footsteps upstairs
08:43The fear she felt for him was something visceral, a primal reaction that chilled her blood
08:51She had seen the darkness in his eyes, the cruelty in his gestures
08:56She knew, with a certainty that defied all logic, that this man was capable of anything
09:02The rumor of his possible involvement in Yana's death did not surprise her at all
09:09What terrified her was his ability to navigate the waters
09:14Murky undercurrents of influence and power, their ability to evade consequences
09:18A man without scruples was dangerous
09:23A man without scruples and protected by his rank was a walking catastrophe
09:27We have to go
09:31Ricardo whispered to her husband that night in the dim light of their humble room
09:35This place is no longer safe for anyone
09:40Her fear was not just for herself, but for all those she loved
09:44For decency itself that seemed to be slowly bleeding away within the walls of promise
09:49In the gentleman's wing, Manuel felt trapped in a web woven with threads of silk and steel
09:56The weaver was on time
09:59Her insistence on selling the airplane company was increasingly disconcerting
10:04At first it had seemed like a simple, aggressive business strategy
10:09Now it felt like an obsession
10:12Think about it, Manuel, her melodious, persuasive voice told him during their umpteenth conversation on the subject
10:20You would free up immense capital
10:25You could invest in something more stable, more down-to-earth
10:28Aviation is the future, yes, but it's a volatile future
10:33Secure your family's present
10:35No one else in my circle advises me to sell, Manuel replied, watching her intently
10:38He studied the way her icy blue eyes never wavered
10:44The way her hands, always impeccably manicured
10:53Gestured to emphasize points that sounded logical on the surface
10:57But left a bitter aftertaste of incongruity
10:59My father, my uncles, they all see the company as the Lujan legacy
11:07A commitment to progress
11:08Their romantics, Anora dismissed with a charming smile that didn't quite reach her eyes
11:15I'm a businesswoman, I see numbers, not dreams
11:21And the numbers tell me the market is going to turn
11:24Selling now is selling at the top, but there was something else
11:29An urgency in her tone, a tension in the line of her jaw whenever he balked
11:34It was as if selling wasn't just an opportunity for her, it was a necessity
11:40Why? What did she really gain from him parting with the family business?
11:49The commission would be substantial, no doubt
11:52But her fervor seemed to go beyond mere financial gain
11:55It felt personal, and that night, as she sorted through some documents on her desk
12:02A wild but insistent idea began to take shape in her mind
12:05And if Anora was not who she said she was
12:11And if his interest in the company was a cover for something else entirely
12:14She connected it without proof, only by pure intuition
12:18To the other great threat looming over her family, Leocadia
12:21Two powerful and enigmatic women appearing in their lives almost simultaneously
12:28It could not be a coincidence
12:31Leocadia, for her part, moved her pieces with the precision of a chess master
12:37Her encounter with Cristobal was brief and direct in the discretion of the library late at night
12:44Petra is useful, but she is a blunt instrument, he told her
12:50His voice was barely a whisper
12:52She will bring you gossip and rumors, but the real threat in the service is P.A. Dara
12:59Do not underestimate that woman
13:03Cristobal, standing tall and arrogant, frowned
13:07The governess is a simple servant with airs of grandeur
13:11Leocadia gave him a look that could have frozen hell
13:16That simple servant has the unconditional loyalty of the service and more importantly
13:21The affection and respect of the marquises
13:24You cannot break her with cheap threats as you do the others
13:29She is intelligent, observant, and silent
13:32She is the kind of enemy you do not see coming until it is too late
13:36Be careful, Cristobal
13:38One false move with her and all our work will come crashing down
13:43Leocadia's words were a warning, but also a revelation of the extent of her plan
13:49This was not just about controlling the service
13:53It was about destabilizing the promise at its foundation
13:56And Cristobal was unexpectedly one of the pillars that held the structure together
14:01The night wore on and each inhabitant of the palace fought their own silent battle
14:08Vera, her heart sinking, tried once more to reason with Federico
14:15Her decision to denounce her own father, a man involved in shady and dangerous business dealings
14:21Had made her an outcast in his eyes
14:23Federico, you have to understand me
14:28She begged him quietly in a corner of the garden under the pale moonlight
14:32That man, his actions were destroying lives, entire families, I could not stand idly by
14:41What I did was for justice
14:45Federico looked at her with a coldness that pierced her
14:48He was my father, he said each word a piece of ice
14:53You turned your back on your own blood
14:56You speak of justice, but I see only betrayal
15:01Don't expect me to understand, I never will
15:04He turned and left her alone
15:09Vera's words dissolving into the night air
15:12As useless as the tears that now stream down her cheeks
15:14The climax of the night, however, was unfolding silently in Kuro's mind
15:21Back in his room, the initial humiliation before Lorenzo began to transform into something sharper
15:29A cold, calculating fury
15:31He sat on the edge of his bed, going over the scene of his confession over and over again
15:37Lorenzo hadn't believed him
15:41He had dismissed his story as barely believable
15:44Why?
15:45Because Lorenzo knew better
15:47He knew that the story of the footman was just one piece of the puzzle
15:51And then, a fleeting memory, an image he had suppressed, came back to him like a lightning bolt
15:58The night of Yolanda's death, the chaos, the confusion
16:03He remembered seeing Lorenzo near the hangar, not before, but after
16:07He had assumed he was there like everyone else, drawn by the commotion
16:13But now, in retrospect, his presence felt strange
16:19He was too calm, too observant
16:23There was none of the surprise or horror in him that the rest of the family had had
16:27There was the cold assessment of a strategist on a battlefield
16:32Kuro stood
16:33The fear had not disappeared, but now it was accompanied by purpose
16:40If Lorenzo knew more, then there had to be proof
16:43A man so arrogant and self-assured would make mistakes
16:49He would leave a trail
16:51Ikaro, the humiliated nephew, the young man who had just signed his own sentence
16:58Swore to himself that he would find that trail
17:00If it were the last thing he did
17:02His confession had not been an ending
17:07It had been a declaration of war
17:09The next morning's sun rose over the valley of the Pedroches
17:13But it brought not the warmth of hope, but the harsh light that exposes uncomfortable truths
17:18The absence of Adriano and the man from Valladares was no longer a concern
17:25It was an alarm that resonated throughout the promise
17:27A day laborer, sent at dawn to retrace the path they should have taken
17:34Returned with a pale face and dire news
17:36He had found the man's carriage abandoned on a side road near an old oak grove
17:43One of the horses lay dead, shot in the head
17:47Of the other horse, the coachman, Adriano, and the man himself
17:57There was no trace, only signs of a violent struggle
18:00Disturbed earth, broken branches, and a dark stain in the grass that no one dared to name
18:05But that everyone knew was blood
18:06The news fell like a bombshell at the Lugin's breakfast
18:12Catalina jumped to her feet, her face a mask of terror
18:16We have to go find them, organize a search party right now
18:22Calm down, daughter, the Marquis said, although his own voice was shaking
18:27The civil guard has already been notified
18:31Going in blindly would only make things worse, but Catalina wasn't listening
18:35Pragmatism had given way to visceral panic
18:39Adriano wasn't just a business partner, he was a friend, a kindred spirit who understood her love for the land
18:46The idea that he was injured or worse somewhere in her own fields was unbearable
18:53I can't just sit here and wait, she exclaimed, and ran out of the dining room with Jacobo and Martina hot on her heels
19:02The disappearance of a nobleman like the man of Valladares was a scandal of major proportions
19:10But for Manuel the news had an even more sinister resonance
19:13The abandoned carriage, the violence, and the coincidence that it had occurred just as the man was assessing the lands that Adriano refused to let sell
19:24No, this was not a random kidnapping by bandits
19:29This was a message, a calculated and brutal move
19:32His suspicions immediately turned to Enora
19:36He sought her out and found her in the library, calmly reading a newspaper as if nothing had happened
19:42Her calm was so unnatural that it was incriminating
19:48Have you heard the news? Manuel asked her, his voice tense
19:52Enora looked up, her blue eyes showing perfectly rehearsed surprise
19:59Yes, it's terrible, poor man, I hope they find him safe and sound
20:06And Adriano pressed Manuel
20:08He's also disappeared
20:12Of course, Mr. Arcos
20:14A tragedy, she added, returning to her newspaper
20:18His indifference was the last straw
20:22Enora, why are you so insistent that I sell my company?
20:27And why now, just when the Valladares man is pressing to buy the promised lands
20:31Lands that my cousin refuses to sell
20:33Enora put the newspaper aside, her expression hardening
20:39Manuel, I think the tension is getting to you
20:42One thing has nothing to do with the other
20:46My advice is purely financial
20:48Is it true, or is selling my company part of a larger plan?
20:53A plan that includes removing anyone who opposes the man's interests
20:58Manuel moved closer, his voice dropping to an accusatory whisper
21:03Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with the Valladares man?
21:09For the first time, Manuel saw a crack in Enora's facade
21:13A waver in her eyes, a tiny tremor in her lower lip
21:16It was barely an instant, but it was enough
21:21I don't know what you're talking about, she said, standing up
21:25And I won't tolerate these insinuations, but Manuel already had his answer
21:31The connection existed
21:33He didn't know what it was, but Enora's denial
21:38Too quick, too vehement, was confirmation in itself
21:41She had stumbled upon the truth and now understood that the battle for her company
21:50And the battle for the promised lands were one and the same
21:52And that Adriano was the first casualty of that war
21:55Downstairs, in the world of service
21:59Pia and Angela's strategy was set in motion
22:01Knowing that Petra was a sieve of information
22:06They decided to use her to their advantage
22:08In a carefully orchestrated conversation in the laundry room
22:12Where they knew that Petra would be listening from the hallway
22:15Pia confessed to Angela a fictitious plan
22:17Cristobal thinks he has everything under control
22:22Pia said in an audible whisper
22:24But he doesn't know that Don Alonso, the Marquis
22:27Has asked me to discreetly keep an eye on the inventory in the warehouse
22:30Suspects that someone is stealing expensive wine to sell abroad
22:35It was a complete lie, but a plausible lie
22:39Petra, predictably, took the bait
22:44Running straight to Cristobal with the inside information
22:47Feeling immensely important
22:49The housekeeper is spying on the seller on the orders of the Marquis
22:55Less so
22:56Setting you up
22:58Cristobal
23:01Arrogant and sure of his own cunning
23:03He decided to get ahead of it
23:05That same afternoon he conducted a surprise inventory of the seller
23:09Dragging several waiters along as witnesses
23:11With the intention of demonstrating his absolute control
23:14And perhaps accusing someone else of the supposed disappearances
23:17In order to curry favor with the Marquis
23:21The result was humiliating
23:23The inventory matched the records perfectly
23:28Not a single bottle was missing
23:30When the Marquis, drawn by the commotion
23:33Went down to the seller and asked what was happening
23:35Cristobal's explanation of preventing a theft sounded paranoid and ridiculous
23:42Sir Christopher, said the Marquis with cutting coldness
23:46I appreciate your zeal
23:47But I would prefer that you not waste my staff's time on witch hunts
23:50There is a nobleman missing and the house is on edge
23:56Attend to your real duties
23:58Quote
24:00Cristobal turned red with anger and embarrassment
24:03While Pia, who was watching from a distance, exchanged a look of discreet triumph with Angela
24:08They had won the first skirmish
24:13They had shown Cristobal that they were not helpless pawns and
24:16More importantly, they had planted in his mind the seed of doubt about the reliability of his informant, Petra
24:21In the meantime, Kuro, driven by his new determination, began his own clandestine investigation
24:34He knew that searching Lorenzo's office was too risky, but he remembered something
24:41Lorenzo was a man of habits
24:43Every night before retiring, he would spend exactly 15 minutes in the fumoire
24:48With nothing but a cigar and a glass of Armagnac
24:52It was his little ritual, 15 minutes
24:55It was a window of opportunity, dangerous and narrow, but it was everything he had
25:02That night, his heart pounding in his chest, he waited for Lorenzo to head to the fumoire
25:10Then, with the agility granted by adrenaline, he slipped into his uncle's room
25:14The room was spotless, tidied up with military precision
25:20There was nothing out of place
25:24He searched frantically, his hands shaking as he opened drawers and checked the pockets of the jackets hanging in the closet
25:33Nothing, time was running out
25:35He was about to give up when his gaze fell on the wicker wastebasket next to the desk
25:39It contained only a few cigar ashes and a crumpled envelope
25:46Kuro picked it up
25:47It was empty, but on the flap, barely visible, was a waxed seal with an emblem he did not recognize
25:54A falcon on a gauntlet
25:57It was not the emblem of the Luja or any of the noble families he knew
26:01A noise in the hallway startled him
26:05It was Lorenzo's footsteps
26:06Returning earlier than expected, Kuro put the envelope in his pocket and hid behind the heavy velvet curtains just a second before the door opened
26:18He held his breath, praying that the darkness would hide him
26:23Lorenzo entered humming an opera tune and went straight to a small wooden chest that Kuro hadn't noticed, hidden behind some books on the shelf
26:30He opened it with a tiny key he carried on his keychain, took out a wad of bills and closed it again
26:42Then, as if sensing a presence, he stopped and scanned the room
26:47Kuro felt his heart stop
26:51The second stretched into an eternity
26:53Finally, Lorenzo seemed to dismiss the feeling, shrugged his shoulders and left the room heading for his bedroom
27:04Kuro waited several more minutes before daring to come out of his hiding place, drenched in cold sweat
27:11He hadn't found irrefutable proof, but he had two new things
27:16Knowledge of a secret chest and an envelope with a mysterious emblem
27:19It wasn't a lot, but it was a thread and he was determined to pull on it until he unraveled the entire skein
27:29Far away, in the darkness of the forest, Catalina, Jacobo and Martina had found the trail
27:37Disregarding the marquee orders, they had set out on horseback, accompanied by two trusted rangers
27:42It was Catalina, whose eyes knew every tree and every stone in that land, who found the second clue
27:52A cufflink from Adriana's shirt, half buried in the mud near a stream
27:58The trail led them to an old and dilapidated hunting cabin that hadn't been used for decades
28:05They have to be here, Jacobo whispered as he dismounted
28:09It was the only place they could hide someone for miles around
28:13They approached stealthily
28:16A dim light filtered through one of the grimy windows
28:21Inside they heard voices, one was that of the man from Valladares, complaining in his haughty, nasal tone
28:29The other was Adriana's, firm and defiant
28:32You won't get anywhere with this, Valladares
28:35Catalina will never give in to blackmail
28:39Oh, believe me, she will, replied the voice of a third man
28:43A voice they didn't recognize, harsh and cruel
28:48When he receives a finger from his beloved agronomist in a box, he will sign anything
28:54The man here only wanted to scare you, but I have more persuasive methods
28:58Catalina stifled a scream, Jacobo grabbed her, signaling for her to be silent
29:08There were at least two kidnappers with them, in addition to the man himself, who seemed to be more of an accomplice than a prisoner
29:14They were outnumbered and probably outgunned
29:21A frontal assault would be suicide
29:25They needed a plan
29:27The midday sun the next day found the promise in a state of controlled chaos
29:33The civil guard came and went asking useless questions
29:37The marquises were locked in the office making calls to Madrid
29:40And in the midst of it all, the threads of the various conspiracies began to strain to the point of breaking
29:51Manuel, convinced of Honora's involvement, decided to set a trap for her
29:56He approached her with a defeated expression
30:00You're right, Honora
30:02I've been thinking about the disappearance of the man and Adriano
30:05It's a sign
30:08This world is too dangerous, too unpredictable
30:12I'll sell the company
30:14The relief on Honora's face was so palpable, so genuine, that it confirmed all of Manuel's suspicions
30:22It's the wisest decision, Manuel
30:24I'll take care of everything
30:26I'll draw up the preliminary contracts immediately
30:28Perfect, Manuel said
30:32But there's one condition
30:34I want to meet with the buyers in person and I want to do it tomorrow
30:38If we're going to do this, let's do it quickly
30:41Honora, I hesitate
30:44That's too hasty
30:46Normally these things take weeks
30:49Take it or leave it on time
30:52Tomorrow or there's no deal
30:54Manuel was betting that her urgency outweighed her prudence
30:57And he was right
31:01Okay, she conceded on time, although a shadow of unease crossed her face
31:08I'll set up the meeting
31:10Manuel knew that whoever showed up to that meeting would give him the next piece of the puzzle
31:17They weren't buying a company, they were executing the next step in a plan to dismantle his family
31:22Meanwhile, Kuro was desperately searching for the origin of the mysterious falcon emblem
31:32He discreetly asked some of the oldest servants, but no one recognized him
31:39His last hope was the library
31:41He spent hours poring over old books of heraldry, the smell of dust and old paper filling his lungs
31:46Finally, when he was about to give up, he found it in a nearly torn tome on minor and extinct noble families
31:57There was the falcon on the gauntlet
31:59It was the crest of the house of Sifuentes, a family that, according to the book, had lost all its lands entitled two generations ago in a bitter and bloody feud
32:14With the Lujan family, Kuro's world tilted on its axis
32:17Revenge wasn't about money or power in the traditional sense
32:27It was a family vendetta that had been brewing for decades, and Lorenzo was somehow involved
32:34But who was the heir to the Tifuentes? Who was pulling the strings?
32:42Suddenly, a mental image hit him like a punch
32:44Leocatia, her aristocratic bearing, her poorly concealed bitterness toward the Lujans, her sudden arrival
32:54It could be Leocatia and Fuentes
32:57The idea was so monstrous and at the same time so perfectly fitting that it took his breath away
33:06And if Leocatia was a Sifuentes, that meant Yana's death had not been an accident
33:10It had been murder, the first act of a meticulously planned revenge
33:20He ran to find Manuel, finding him just as he was leaving his meeting with Honora
33:27Breathless, he told him everything
33:29The chest, the envelope, the falcon emblem, the Sifuentes house, and his terrible suspicion about Leocatia
33:35Manuel listened to him, his face paling with each word
33:42Kuro's theory, as far-fetched as it seemed, connected all the loose ends
33:47Leocatia's hostility, Honora's obsession, Adriana's disappearance, even Lorenzo's pressure
33:56It was all part of the same web
33:57Kuro, this is bigger than we imagined, Manuel said, his mind working at full speed
34:09The meeting I've arranged with Honora's buyers is not a business meeting
34:12It's a trap and we're going to be prepared
34:17Night fell again
34:18At the hunting cabin, Jacobo and the Rangers executed their plan
34:21They created a distraction by setting fire to a pile of dry brush at a safe distance from the cabin
34:32When one of the kidnappers went out to investigate, they subdued him silently
34:37The second, seeing that his partner hadn't returned, also went out and suffered the same fate
34:44With the kidnappers neutralized, they burst into the cabin
34:48The Viadares man screamed in surprise, while Adriano, tied to a chair but unharmed, looked at them with immense relief
34:57I knew you would come, he exclaimed
35:00Martina ran to untie him while Catalina faced the man, her rage overcoming any fear
35:07How could you, we trusted you, quote
35:10The man stammered, trembling
35:12I had no choice
35:13They forced me, they owe me, save your excuses for the civil guard
35:20Jacobo snapped, eyeing the man with contempt
35:25They had rescued Adriano, but the man's confession confirmed that he was just a pawn
35:32There was someone much more powerful behind it all
35:35The morning of the meeting was fraught with almost unbearable tension
35:38Manuel and Kuro had spent the night awake plotting their strategy
35:46They had warned the Marquis, who, although skeptical at first, trusted the word of his son and nephew
35:55The civil guard was alerted, but they were asked to remain hidden at a distance, waiting for a signal
36:00Anora arrived at the agreed-upon hall beaming with triumph
36:06They're on their way, he announced
36:09They'll be here any minute
36:11Manuel nodded, his face a mask of calm
36:14Kuro stood by the window
36:16He felt like his heart was going to jump out of his mouth
36:20They waited in silence
36:22Finally, a carriage pulled up to the main entrance
36:25Out of it stepped not a group of businessmen, but a single figure
36:31A woman, Leocadia, entered the room with the confidence of a queen claiming her throne
36:39Behind her entered Lorenzo
36:41Anora paled at the sight of them together
36:43It seemed that not even she was aware of the whole truth
36:48Manuel Kuro, what a pleasant surprise to see you together, Leocadia said, her voice dripping with venom
36:55I suppose we can dispense with formalities
37:00My real name is Leocadia Cifuentes and I have come to claim what is mine
37:04This house, this land, all built on the ruins of my family
37:08Quote
37:11Lorenzo smiled, a crooked and cruel smile
37:14I underestimated you, I must admit
37:16You, Manuel said, looking at Lorenzo in disbelief and disgusting
37:20You betrayed your own family
37:26Blood doesn't pay gambling debts, cousin, Lorenzo replied with disdain
37:33The Cifuentes, or rather Leocadia, were much more generous
37:37The confrontation was a whirlwind of hatred and revelations
37:40Anora, realizing she had been used, tried to protest
37:47I didn't know anything about this
37:50I just wanted to close a deal
37:52Shut up, stupid girl, Leocadia snapped
37:56You also have Cifuentes blood, even if it's on the bastard side
37:59Did you fulfill your purpose?
38:03That's when Kuro stepped forward
38:06Let's talk about Yana, he said, his voice shaking but firm
38:11You killed her
38:12It was your first strike against us, wasn't it?
38:15Leocadia let out a chilling laugh
38:19The maid, yes
38:21A small sacrifice to destabilize Manuel and so
38:23And it was so easy to blame a poor lackey
38:29And then you, Kuro
38:31Lorenzo took care of the details
38:35The confession resonated in the silence of the room
38:37Manuel felt a wave of fury so intense that for a moment he saw everything red
38:44But before he could move, the door was thrown open
38:49The Marquis entered flanked by two civil guards
38:51Quote
38:53It's over, Leocadia, Don Alonso said
38:56His voice booming with an authority he rarely used
39:01His reign of terror was over
39:03Lorenzo, seeing the game was lost, tried one last desperate move
39:09He pulled a small pistol from his jacket and grabbed Kuro, using him as a shield
39:14Quote
39:15Nobody move, I'm leaving here and the boy is coming with me
39:19Everything happened in an instant
39:21While everyone's attention was focused on Lorenzo and Kuro
39:26A figure moved with surprising speed from the service door that had opened without anyone noticing
39:33It was Angela
39:35In her hand she held a heavy cast iron frying pan
39:38With a scream that was a mixture of fear and pent up rage, she smashed it with all her might into the back of Lorenzo's head
39:48The captain collapsed like a sack of potatoes, unconscious, letting go of Kuro
39:52The room was in stunned silence for a second before the guards pounced on Leocadia and Lorenzo's lifeless body
40:03Angela, trembling, dropped the frying pan, which clattered on the marble floor
40:07Pia ran to her side, hugging her
40:12The nightmare was over
40:14Leocadia, Lorenzo, and Enora were arrested
40:17The Viadares man, thanks to Adriana's testimony, would also face justice
40:22The promise, although wounded and betrayed, had survived
40:28The unity of the service, the cunning of Pia and Angela, the bravery of Catalina and Jacobo, and the determination of Manuel and Kuro had prevailed over the darkness
40:40That night, the promise breathed a different air, an air of relief, of exhaustion, but also of hope
40:45The wounds would take time to heal
40:51Lorenzo's betrayal had left a deep scar on the family, but they were together
40:58Manuel found Kuro on the balcony, looking at the stars
41:01The young man no longer seemed like the frightened boy he had been before
41:06There was a new maturity in his gaze, forged in the fire of adversity
41:11We did it, Kuro, Manuel said, putting a hand on his shoulder
41:15We did justice to Yana
41:19Kuro nodded, but a shadow of sadness remained in his eyes
41:26Yes, but I wish, I wish it could have been different, that she was still here
41:32Manuel was silent for a moment
41:35Leocadia's confession had been clear, but in the subsequent interrogations, before being transferred, Lorenzo,
41:41in a final act of spite or perhaps a strange redemption, had asked to speak with Manuel
41:46Eolas
41:48There's something you need to know, Manuel said to Kuro
41:52His voice was barely a whisper
41:54What I'm about to tell you seems impossible, but Lorenzo swore it, and for some reason I believe him
42:01Kuro turned expectantly
42:04Leocadia ordered Lorenzo to kill Yana
42:06Manuel continued
42:08But Lorenzo saw an opportunity
42:13He knew Leocadia wanted Yana out of the way forever, so instead of killing her he helped her disappear
42:20Kuro's eyes widened
42:22What?
42:23She hired that lackey to create the story of the accident
42:26The body they found wasn't hers
42:30Lorenzo got her out of the promise that night, alive
42:35He sent her away to a convent in the north under another name with the promise that he would protect her as long as Leocadia was a threat
42:45Yana's murder was a farce, a cruel magic trick, but a trick that saved his life
42:50Kuro was speechless
42:55Hope, an emotion he thought he had lost forever, bloomed in his chest with overwhelming force
43:03It was a shock, the most incredible revelation of all, one that rewrote their entire tragedy
43:10Where? Kuro asked, his voice shaking with emotion
43:14Where is she? Manuel pulled a piece of paper from his pocket
43:17It was a note that Lorenzo had handed him
43:21On it was just a name and an address
43:26The convent of Santa Clara del Mar in a small town on the coast of Chantabria
43:32She's alive, Kuro, Manuel said, and this time a genuine smile lit his face
43:40She's no longer alive and we can bring her back home
43:43On the balcony of promise, beneath a starry sky that suddenly seemed full of promise
43:48The two young men gazed out into the horizon
43:53The darkest chapter of their lives had ended, not with a full stop, but with the beginning of a new journey
44:02A journey to reunite, to heal, and to rebuild
44:06The house had been saved, the villains unmasked, and in the heart of the tragedy had blossomed the most unexpected and joyful of miracles
44:16The echo of secrets faded and in its place the music of the future began to sound
44:20No
