00:12Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I can finally leave this place for good and live with my knight, my fiancé
00:18Leon, forever.
00:23Damn, you're getting better and better at this.
00:26I only have your highness's training. I'm nothing but your loyal weapon from battlefield to bed chain.
00:33Leon, how could you do this to me? Tomorrow is the day you're supposed to come and take me as
00:39your bride. I've been waiting for this since I was ten.
00:45You're really willing to let your fiancé marry that evil dragon who feasts on brides and feel nothing at all?
00:51She's only the king's bastard after all. Being able to spare you and her majesty the burden by sending her
00:57in your place.
00:58And if he rip us her before he kills her?
01:02Then her sacrifice will be even more meaningful. Her blood will buy the kingdom at least ten years of peace.
01:08It's the best deal we could ask for.
01:27Eileen, you're not going anywhere. Come with me. We have a wedding to prepare.
01:31What's the point of preparing for a wedding? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill me now?
01:37How could we do that? You're the princess.
01:40I never imagined that the freedom I've waited eighteen years for would end like this.
01:45Because you're the filthy little snake blood half-breed father could never stand the sight of.
01:50Eileen, mind your tongue around the princess.
01:54Guards, take her. Lock her in the water dungeon.
02:01Every ten years, the Empire must offer ten brides to the Dragon King.
02:07Otherwise, dragon fire will rain down and burn our towns to ash.
02:12This year will be different. I only want one of you. The rest may live.
02:20My patience is running out. Otherwise, you all die.
02:26Ten. Nine.
02:28Even if I live, what then?
02:30I've never had a family who loved me.
02:33I've been a walking corpse for years, but they're different.
02:38They still have family's lovers waiting for them.
02:51Eileen!
02:53Eileen, farewell.
02:55I'm sorry, Maya. I swore I'd take good care of her, but I had no choice.
02:59If I didn't do this, the people would revolt and the kingdom would fall.
03:04You're still thinking about that shameless woman?
03:06She was the one who couldn't keep her legs shut.
03:09Cheated on you with the snake folk, and that's how that little snake blood half-breed came to be.
03:13Trading her for ten years peace is a bargain.
03:16You, on the other hand, should be worrying about your own daughter.
03:19Wickie is already eighteen.
03:21Prince Silmus of the Serpent Clan.
03:22May his magic truly protect Wickie and this kingdom.
03:27A wise decision, my king.
03:29I'll go make the marriage arrangements.
03:32You pathetic old fool.
03:34This crown should have been mine long ago.
03:42Who are you?
03:44Are you a dragon too?
03:46You don't bite, do you?
03:47Can I pet you?
03:49Don't touch it.
03:50That's the fierce beast of the Sky Castle, its guardian.
03:54My lord, I offered myself willingly as your bride.
03:58You can eat me if you must.
04:00Just spare the innocent commoners.
04:02In the eyes of you foolish humans, I'm nothing but a man-eating monster, am I?
04:10I don't know if you eat people or not, but...
04:14I'm hungry!
04:16I need food!
04:17Otherwise I'll starve to death here!
04:20There is no food in the Sky Castle.
04:23Drink some Sky Water and you'll feel full.
04:25in the Sky Castle.
05:10don't come any closer this is a ladies bathroom men and women shouldn't share a bath
05:15but i'm not human that still doesn't mean you can just strip my head claws off whenever you want

06:22dying please please just eat me how could i ever eat you as long as you bear my egg

14:22oh
14:28uh
14:29oh
14:32oh
14:34oh
14:42oh
14:53NOAH! NOAH! STOP! YOU'RE HURTING ME! PLEASE!
14:57NOAH! NOAH! WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE? THE WIND, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S SCREAMING…
15:19I'S NOT THE WIND, IT'S THE GHOSTS OF MY KIND. LOOK AT THIS CLIVE EILENE-
15:25What happened here?
15:27Ten years ago, I watched my father die here, pierced by human spears.
15:33I was so small, so full of hate.
15:38I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
15:46But you survived.
15:52I didn't just survive, I changed.
15:55At that moment, I became the last dragon on Earth.
16:13Stop! I can hear them! The women crying!
16:18That is the legacy of my ancestors.
16:21They sang the dragon song to lure girls like you.
16:24Why? Just to kill them?
16:27To survive. To breed.
16:29But no human girl could survive the hatching of a dragon egg.
16:38They died in agony.
16:41Their bodies, they literally burst from the inside.
16:48And the dragon fire. I saw it in my dreams.
16:54My ancestors burned them alive, hoping the flames would save the eggs.
17:00It never worked.
17:06Now you know why I keep you at a distance.
17:08To touch you is to sentence you to death.
17:17He told me the truth.
17:19How every bride before me died, burned and torn apart from the inside.
17:23I should be screaming, but all I see is a man drowning in a curse.
17:26I won't let him face it alone.
17:29Get away! Didn't you hear me?
17:31If you don't run, you'll be the next name carved into these stones!
17:36My inner beast has smelled your blood.
17:38It's begging me to tear you apart!
17:41Then why are you shaking?
17:42If you were just a beast, you wouldn't be suffering like this just to warn me.
17:54Because I refuse to be a monster like my father!
17:57I won't watch you turn to ashes in the flames!
18:00Then don't be him.
18:02I'm right here.
18:03I'm not afraid.
18:05Her kindness is a trap.
18:07If I let her stay close, I will lose control and kill her.
18:11If I can't make her leave, I'll make her wish she had never stayed.
18:21You want to save me?
18:23I'll make you regret every heartbeat you spend in this castle.
18:27Noah?
18:28What are you doing?
18:30Kindness is meaningless to a monster, Eileen.
18:33Since you've chosen this fate, I will lock you away and show you the true power of the dragon.
18:38I will break you before the curse does.
18:41But I'm not afraid that happens.
18:51I'm not afraid that I'm not afraid that you are dead, no one will lose.
18:54If you've stabbed her, I will kill you.
18:59But I will kill you.
19:01I'll kill you...
19:04You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you.
19:04Oh no!
19:07Where is it?
19:08I can't do this.
19:09You have no idea.
19:10But...
19:10you've never met me, you, you're kind of a nightmare.
19:11No problem.
19:16Noah, let me go. Why are you doing this?
19:19The humans and the serpent clan. They are coming for my head. I need the dragon's power to kill them.
19:26Then let me help you. Don't lock me away like a prisoner.
19:32You don't understand. The more I stay a dragon, the less I can control the hunger for you.
19:41Keep your pet quiet, or I'll feed him to the storm.
19:46You're becoming a monster before the battle even begins.
19:55Stay alive, even if you hate me.
20:02So, she likes it rough.
20:05A little Fost pay to keep the marriage spicy?
20:09Eileen, you're getting more and more to my taste.
20:15I can't wait to see you scream in my chairs.
20:19The king thinks I'm his savior.
20:22He actually believes I'll help him rescue you, his daughter, for free.
20:27Foolish old man, I will use the human army as bait to lure the dragon into my curse formation.
20:37Once the beast is trapped, I will swallow the Empire and the Sky Hustle in one bite.
20:46And you, Eileen, you are the ultimate key.
20:50You are the dragon's heart and the human princess.
20:54By making you my bride, I won't just be a king.
21:01I will be the god of the three realms.
21:04Your screams, your scream will be my victory song.
21:16I brought some food from the human realm.
21:19The kind you used to like.
21:21I don't want your cakes.
21:23I want my freedom.
21:24Freedom?
21:25To run back to that traitor Leon?
21:28Or to be eaten by the serpents?
21:31That is my home.
21:32I won't die.
21:34Don't you understand yet?
21:36You are just a disposable pawn they can sacrifice at any moment.
21:41You have no home anymore.
21:42Your freedom is to stay right here and live.
21:49Noah, are you okay?
21:51Stop hurting yourself.
21:53I'm trying to keep you safe.
21:58Why can't you just obey me?
22:00Because I'm your woman, not your trophy.
22:03Fight the beast, Noah.
22:05Don't let it win.
22:19Stay back.
22:21The dragon, it wants to tear you apart and consume you.
22:25No, Noah.
22:26Look at me.
22:27Not with the dragon's eyes, but with yours.
22:30It's too late.
22:31The scent of your blood, it's calling to the beast.
22:34Then listen to this.
22:36This is a human heart.
22:38If you want me, you have to find your own again.
22:45Why?
22:46Why don't you run?
22:47I'm a monster, Eileen.
22:48A monster wouldn't try this hard to protect me from himself.
23:12There are thousands of them.
23:14Leon and Silas.
23:16They've actually come.
23:18They don't come for you, Eileen.
23:19They come for the power they think I possess.
23:22Noah, please, don't let the dragon take over again.
23:26I don't need the dragon for these ants.
23:28Watch.
23:34It's a slaughter.
23:38They never stood a chance.
23:40Not all of them.
23:41One rat survived.
23:49Look at you, Noah.
23:51Playing house with a human girl while your kingdom burns.
23:55You're lucky the storm hasn't ripped your tongue out yet, Silas.
23:59Oh, but you should thank me.
24:01Do you even know who you're protecting?
24:04I'm nothing to you, Simus.
24:05Leave us alone.
24:06Nothing.
24:06You're the secret daughter of the High King.
24:09The blood of the very man who hunted Noah's father to death.
24:15Is it true?
24:16You carry the blood of my father's murderer?
24:19I didn't know.
24:21Noah, I never knew.
24:24She's the bait dragon.
24:26And you fell for him.
24:42Duke, my love!
24:44Save me!
24:46Save me!
24:51I was so small, so full of hate.
24:55I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
25:02The man who killed my father.
25:04He did it for Maya.
25:06You have her eyes.
25:08Tell me the truth!
25:10Maya was my mother, but I am not Duke's blood.
25:13I am the child of her shame, not his crown!
25:19Look at her, the king's pure little bird.
25:22Don't you want to see what happens when you clip her wings?
25:27And what do I get in return, my queen?
25:30Let your guards defile her.
25:32Make her your vessel.
25:33Do this, and I am yours.
25:35Do this, and I am not sure what happens when you're dead.
25:36No!
25:55Duke, please.
25:58She has my eyes.
25:59She is innocent.
26:01Don't, don't let them kill her.
26:02Innocent, she is the living proof that you were touched by those snakes.
26:08Just let her live.
26:10As a servant.
26:11Anything.
26:13This is the serpent's filth.
26:15You are my greatest shame.
26:16You are a curse I must keep in the shadows.
26:25Noah, look at you.
26:26Guarding a woman who was born in my people's fifth.
26:29Does she smell like the snake pit yet?
26:33I will rip the tongue out of your head, Silas.
26:37She is mine!
26:39Enjoy the leftovers, dragon.
26:41When I'm done, this castle becomes my nest.
26:44And Eileen, she'll finally come home to the snakes.
27:00Attack!
27:01Kill the dragon!
27:02Bring me the girl alive!
27:08God!
27:09Let's go!
27:10This castle is still取etable!
27:11We're close.
27:14I'm close, but this castle is still late on so just as we can open them.
27:44Your heart belongs to me now, Noah.
27:48Noah! Get up!
27:51Don't let him take you!
28:03I will tear you into bloody pieces!
28:08Get out of my reel!
28:12Impressive, Noah. You burned half your life force just to kill a... shadow.
28:18No! No! A shadow?
28:21I am everywhere. And I am nowhere.
28:26If a mere projection could break your wings, imagine what I will do when I arrive in person.
28:34Next time it won't be a test. It will be your funeral.
28:40And Eileen will finally have a real king.
28:48Noah! No, please, my lord, don't die!
28:51Don't leave me alone in this darkness!
29:04Noah, look at me. His words are just poison. I am here. I am not going anywhere.
29:10I should have burned them all! I'm still a monster to them. And maybe to you, too.
29:15No. You are the man who saved me.
29:19But if you keep acting like a beast, you're just giving them what they want.
29:28And what do you want, Eileen?
29:30I want a husband. Not a weapon.
29:35Learn to control the fire inside, Noah.
29:39If you want me to stay, show me you can be more than just a dragon.
29:52How is she still alive?
29:57That servant should be dragon beat.
30:00Simus, go get her.
30:01Bring her back so I can make her pay myself.
30:06Did I hear a command, Wiki?
30:09I... I am the princess!
30:12You are my fiancée!
30:14You are nothing but a pawn for this alliance.
30:17Don't mistake a snake's patience for loyalty.
30:26I'll bring the dragon back.
30:28But the girl...
30:29She belongs to me now.
30:33A pawn?
30:34You think I'm just a piece on your board?
30:37I am the blood of the Empire.
30:41If Silas wants that servant so badly, he can have her cause.
30:45I'll burn the Sky Castle to the ground before I let her take my throne.
30:49Or my man.
30:52You want to see her scream, Silas?
30:58I'll make sure she's screaming for mercy when she meets her end.
31:06Too hard, Noah.
31:08You're trying to touch me, not crush a stone.
31:10Again.
31:13This is ridiculous.
31:15My claws are for killing, not for stroking skin.
31:19If you want to be with me, you have to learn.
31:22Softly, like a breeze.
31:25Is this... what humans call gentle?
31:29Yes.
31:30And try not to singe my hair with your breath next time.
31:36You are a very demanding bride, Eileen.
31:45And I have kept my promise.
31:47I am listening to you now.
31:49But Eileen, I need you to feel my world, too.
31:52Not just the one you imagined, but the one I truly live in.
31:56You must see the sky through a dragon's eyes.
32:00Not just a prisoner's.
32:04Noah, the heights.
32:07They remind me of the storm.
32:08Of the way you grabbed me in the darkness.
32:11I'm afraid of that power.
32:15The storm is only one side of me.
32:18Humans fear the wind because it can tear down houses.
32:21But they forget it's the same wind that carries a bird home.
32:26It sounds so violent.
32:28It feels like it's screaming.
32:30Listen closer.
32:31If you don't fight it, the wind becomes a cradle.
32:37Close your eyes, Eileen.
32:38Trust me.
32:39I want to show you the world not as a battlefield, but as a masterpiece.
32:48Noah!
32:49We're going too fast!
32:51Please, put me down!
32:52Open your eyes, Eileen!
32:53Look at what it means to be a dragon!
33:05It's beautiful!
33:07The world looks so small from here.
33:10The humans only see the storm.
33:13They never look high enough to see the peace above it.
33:18I'm not afraid anymore.
33:20With you, I feel...
33:22free.
33:23Then stay here.
33:24Be the only light in my endless sky.
33:41Eileen, there is a reason I haven't...
33:44claimed you yet.
33:45I thought...
33:46you were just trying to be human for me.
33:49It's more than that.
33:50To truly stabilize my power,
33:51we must perform the great rule of the dragons.
33:54A wedding?
33:55A soulbinding.
33:56Our hearts must beat as one during the union.
33:58Only then will the beast truly submit to my will.
34:01You mean...
34:03if we don't do this,
34:04you'll never be able to control the dragon?
34:06If I don't, I will eventually lose my mind.
34:09But I won't force you.
34:10Show me the way, Noah.
34:12I want to be your bride.
34:22A hundred years of darkness.
34:25I thought that's all I deserved.
34:27Hunger kept me alive.
34:29I figured one day it'd swallow me whole.
34:31I was just...
34:32waiting to die.
34:34My whole life,
34:36I've been invisible.
34:37No one wanted me in that palace.
34:39I was a shadow with no name.
34:42A servant.
34:45Until...
34:45You were never invisible to me.
34:48The moment you stepped onto that sacrificial ship,
34:52you became the only place I could breathe.
34:54A human heart.
34:56Taught the beast how to feel.
34:59Then let the girl with no home find one in your arms.
35:03I don't need a palace, Noah.
35:05I just need you.
35:07Everything else, I can learn.
35:12This is my vow.
35:14As long as the sky remains and the dragon fire burns,
35:17you are no servant.
35:19You are the only queen of the sky.
35:24Aelin, will you bind your soul to mine?
35:27Through blood and breath.
35:29Through fire and eternity.
35:31Yes.
35:32A thousand times yes.
35:33I choose you, Noah.
35:35In this life,
35:36and every life that follows.
35:47Noah, just now...
35:50What is it?
35:52Nothing.
35:53Maybe my eyes were just bluttered by tears.
36:03It's on, finally.
36:05Enjoy the wedding gift I've given you both.
36:14My ancestors used this altar to shackle their brides,
36:17to force a union.
36:19But I have cleared the blood of the past.
36:22Today, this place will witness a union of choice.
36:26Does the ceremony scare you, Noah?
36:29I can feel your heart racing.
36:31It scares me that I might fail you.
36:33The ritual will drop my barriers.
36:35For one hour, I will be as vulnerable as a human child.
36:39But it is the only way to kill the beast inside me,
36:42and become the man you deserve.
36:44You are already that man, Noah.
36:45The beast is just a shadow.
36:48Don't do this for the ritual.
36:50Do it for us.
36:56I will give you a wedding that the legends will sing about.
36:59A wedding where the dragon finally finds his peace.
37:03And the girl finally finds her throne.
37:13That's strange.
37:15Huh?
37:16Maybe I'm just too excited.
37:19My heart, it feels like it's beating incorrectly.
37:22Mine too.
37:24For a hundred years, it's the first time my heart has raced like this.
37:29Beat away, little bride.
37:31When your heart beat sinks with mine,
37:34you will know who your true master is.
37:41Shh.
37:42Is he coming?
37:46Close call.
37:47We have to finish this tonight, Ollie.
37:52Tomorrow, I want to see the Dragon King's eyes
37:54when he realizes he's no longer alone.
38:01Am I just too tired?
38:04It's nothing.
38:06Maybe it's just the moonlight.
38:07God red.
38:10Let's get into it.
38:14Now.
38:23I want to see theART.
38:23for gauntory text,
38:24I'm just kidding.
38:25I'm just kidding.
