00:01Dorian, that monster, who poisoned me, but I'll never submit to a frost.
00:19Someone needs help over there.

01:26Let them wait.
01:28I'm interested to see which hero is brave enough to marry a flame.

19:16and when my father returns
19:18your kingdoms burn
19:21this summit could have ended in peace
19:23now one beggar may drag all seven kingdoms into war
19:27princess of Emberveld
19:29you would place the whole continent
19:32on a pyre for one man
19:33he is the husband I chose in open trial
19:35the king comport acknowledged by Emberville
19:38if you seek blame

21:19can hear from me if I wish it
21:20does she really know the commander of the Dragonrider Legion
21:23if that's true
21:25then this is even worse
21:26Larissa doesn't know you at all
21:31beggar dare say the commander of the Dragonrider Legion

21:37one less sentence from you means one less disaster
21:41honey I'm telling the truth
21:43good
21:45the more you talk like that
21:46the more I want to take you away
21:50he belongs to neither of you
21:52he is my husband
21:58then let's see who your husband walks away with in the end
22:04daddy
22:05daddy I don't like this bad woman
22:10I don't either
22:24let him go
22:26Sarah
22:26Sarah
22:27hand your husband over to me
22:28if you do I can pretend none of this ever happened
22:32honey
22:33we've only been married for one day
22:37are you really abandoning me already
22:38I'm going to save you
22:40mommy
22:41don't worry about daddy
22:44let's just go home first
22:46what I hate most

23:16how did her power surge like that
23:19back
23:20no not just back
23:21her level has risen
23:23what is happening
23:24I can feel my power rising to another level
23:27see
23:29we slept together for just one night
23:31and your power rose this much
23:33honey don't abandon me
23:35I want to sleep with you every night
23:39shut up
23:41sleeping with him does this
23:42then I have to take him for myself
23:56I can know
24:14Honey, you caught me beautifully.
24:16Say one more word and I'll drop you.
24:18Mummy is so cool!
24:22Fire! Now, kill them all!
24:24Veil guard, defend our honour to the death!
24:29She's mad.
24:31Is she really going to execute the King and Queen of Embervale in public?
24:34Good. Kill the old fools, then drag that bregger down and chop him to pieces.
24:43Sarah, fall back!
24:44You burned too much power. Keep forcing it and you'll damage your core.
24:49Your father and I are not dead yet.
24:59Easy, little star.
25:00But they're really annoying!
25:02Kill the little brat first!
25:04Caelan, my fire is low.
25:06Can you protect my parents?
25:08Relax.
25:09I already called my people to rescue us.
25:12Is this really the time for jokes?
25:23When my father returns, all of you die!
25:26Kneel now, or watch your kingdoms burn!
25:29I'll turn your cities into frozen graves!
25:53All hail the commander of the Dragonrider Legion!
25:59Are you insane?
26:01Kneel!
26:04Why?
26:05She's the backup I called.
26:07This is not the time for nonsense!
26:11What took you so long?
26:13A little later and my mummy would have been a widow!
26:15Long time no see.
26:17Still this cute.
26:18Here, candy.
26:19I'm not a kid.
26:20I don't want candy.
26:21I'm way older than you.
26:23Call me Big Sis.
26:29This woman can't possibly be the commander of the Dragonrider Legion!
26:32She's a fake!
26:33The beggar hired!
26:34Who is the commander of the Dragonrider Legion supposed to be?
26:37Why would she show up and start joking with a brat?
26:40What a joke!
26:41This beggar lives by cheap tricks!
26:44He hired her to scare us!
27:08What are you to stand up without my permission?
27:14Do you dare strike me?
27:16When my father emerges, you're a dead woman!
27:21Prince of Frostmarch, if your father knew you used crossbows to assassinate an heir at
27:26the summit, he'd strangle you himself.
27:28Commander, it's a misunderstanding.
27:30We were simply helping Princess Sarah discipline her gutter-mat husband.
27:35My Sovereign, shall I erase them now?
27:38Not yet.
27:39I'm having fun.
27:40The Sovereign is hiding his identity for a reason.
27:43I will follow his lead.
27:45You mean, this exceptionally lucky man?
27:50Commander, my husband meant no harm.
27:54Since it's a misunderstanding, Frostmarch owes this lucky man an apology.
27:58Kneel, apologize.
28:01Kneel to a beggar?
28:02Unless the sun rises in the west!
28:06As you wish.
28:30Now, kneel.
28:33Impossible.
28:34Impossible.
28:35Is this the power of the Legion?
28:40This is so fun!
28:41Do it again!
28:43This power, it's beyond the reach of mortals.
28:46What kind of existence is the Dragon Rider Legion?
28:49A bit too much, Narita.
28:51Don't terrify my wife.
29:06As you command, my Sovereign.
29:09Restoring everything now.
29:19Do you know what needs to be done?
29:25Our apologies, Mr. Gray.
29:27We were out of line.
29:29Louder.
29:30My daughter didn't hear you.
29:31Yeah, a mosquito is louder than you.
29:35I am sorry!
29:37Honey, did you hear that?
29:38They're apologizing to me.
29:40I'm so lucky.
29:41This is absurd.
29:43But if not luck, what is it?
29:46Did you bring the thing I told you to bring?
29:48I have it, my Sovereign.
29:59Are those invitations to the Dracalfire Conklet?
30:03That is the supreme honor.
30:04The Conklet hasn't been held in a century.
30:08Legend says only there can one see the true form of the Dragon Sovereign and his dragon.
30:13Impossible!
30:14My father waited a century and wasn't qualified.
30:18Why give it to this beggar?
30:19It must be fake!
30:28Just one.
30:30What about my wife's?
30:31My Sovereign, you could just take her yourself.
30:33Do you really need me to play along with this show?
30:36Hurry up and hand it over, or I'm not going.
30:39Is he serious?
30:40If he doesn't go, who's going to open the conyum?
30:45I only brought one today.
30:47The other, I will have it delivered to the Palace of Embervale.
30:51The commander actually agreed?
31:01Who the hell is this drifter?
31:03Why would the commander crush Frostmark just for him?
31:05And even give him the invitation?
31:07Maybe.
31:08He's just lucky.
31:09He happened to be the perfect excuse for the commander to discipline Frostmark.
31:14Honey, let's go home for dinner.
31:16It's dusty here.
31:19The Conclave, the Frostmarch threat, and this man.
31:24I feel like I'm falling into a vortex.
31:28Kaelin, tell me the truth.
31:31You and Commander Nerissa, what is the real connection?
31:38Honey, I'm just lucky.
31:41Even the commander said so.
31:53Watch out!
31:59Nerissa, since you're here, clear the trash.
32:02As you command, Sovereign.
32:18Whoa, honey.
32:20Save me.
32:25What happened to him?
32:40Mommy, are these uncles performing circus tricks?
32:44Two top assassins.
32:47One stabbed himself.
32:49One hit a pillar.
32:51This luck is terrifyingly godlike.
33:05Report.
33:06Frostmarch has blocked all ports.
33:08Our merchant ships are sunk.
33:12Report.
33:12Five nations sent severance letters.
33:14They won't offend Frostmarch for a beggar.
33:18Those beasts, they're going to watch us starve.
33:27You know the plan, Sarah.
33:30I know you will come.
33:32This is reality.
33:35Luck doesn't buy respect.
33:37Only strength matters.
33:41Honey, where are you going so early?
33:43Those two assassins must have been cursed by the heavens.
33:45Let's go fishing to celebrate.
33:47Frostmarch assassins crawled into our bedroom.
33:50Do you think you'll be that next time?
33:51I've always been lucky.
33:53Look, aren't we doing just fine?
33:56At the Conflem, you'll be a target.
33:59Dorian's father, the King of Frostmarch, will tear you to pieces.
34:02If I don't go to that place, we all die.
34:13Are you certain?
34:14Father, I won't watch Embleval fall.
34:18Nor will I watch my husband and daughter die.
34:21Caelian, your luck won't save Embleval.
34:24I must go to that place.
34:27If I don't return, tell him to take Aurora and run as far as possible.
34:33But he is the one summoned by the Conronet.
34:35That invitation was just the Commander's whim.
34:38Before real power, he is nothing but a sacrifice.
34:42Caelan, stay in your lucky dream.
34:44I'll face hell alone.
34:55This is Emberval's trial ground.
34:59Only a half-step supreme can trigger the trial and endure the lava's cleansing fire.
35:05If the heart of Emberval accepts the air,
35:09I will achieve Phoenix Rebirth and ascend to the supreme realm.
35:14I've trained for years to become the rightful successor.
35:18But I'm still only high tier, and I've run out of time.
35:22With no way back, I must try.
35:27For Emberval.
