00:03FIGHT!
00:14Twenty years ago, Archd Godwack Knightford trained me. I learned to summon, and now I
00:21can summon the Moonbond Silver Wolf. Yet no one in this house has matched me since.
00:35This Starforged Iron fell from the heavens, unbreakable, unyielding. Only sacred beasts
00:40can stir it, and only a handful can summon them.
01:00This is talent. Edmund has trained but ten years, and already he can draw an echoes from
01:06the iron. In six months, I will hold a grand tournament to name the heir of House Ironwood,
01:12with gifts such as his. Edmund will surely lead the House of Ironwood to rise in the North!
01:23Pointless.
01:28I wonder if I could do that.
01:44Impossible!
01:50Are you crazy? Women cannot practice magic! If your father finds out, he will cripple
01:55you! Come, now!
01:56I was only trying it just once. Where are we going, Mother? Your sister has returned.
02:03Isabelle is back!
02:07Remarkable. Truly remarkable. A mere girl melted the frostbound meteor. Could she be the one
02:15I've been seeking?
02:19Isabel!
02:21How dare you run back here! You've brought disgrace upon House Ironwood!
02:25Wasn't she coming home to visit us?
02:29Isabelle, what happened?
02:31Lord Wintermore is a monster. He made me do all kinds of menial work, and beats me every day.
02:37I can't endure it anymore! Father, Mother, I beg you, let me divorce him and come home!
02:43Divorce? Lord Wintermore has just been appointed Warden of the North. We cannot afford to offend
02:48him. Only he can secure Edmund's future as head of House Ironwood.
02:53But look what he's done to Isabelle!
02:55Oh, come on! She just got slapped a couple times! Men discipline their wives, it's nothing new!
03:01Don't let something this small mess up my inheritance!
03:03That's right, my lord, House Stoneheart has long coveted our lands. Only an alliance with Lord Wintermore
03:11can secure Ironwood's place in the North. You must think of the greater good.
03:16Guards! Take her back to Lord Wintermore!
03:22Father, Isabelle is your own daughter! Everyone knows Lord Wintermore is cruel! How can you send her back?
03:29She is my daughter, so she must protect the Ironwood bloodline at any cost! This is the only value a
03:36woman has!
03:37Now shut up!
03:38But you never treated me like your daughter!
03:41Edmund is born of your mistress, yet because he is a boy, he is all you can see!
03:46You cherished him! You taught him magic! While Eleanor and I were left to learn how to do house chores!
03:53And how to serve!
03:55Shut up! How dare you speak to your father like that!
03:59Father? He shares my blood, but he's never treated me like a daughter! To him, I'm just a girl with
04:06no name! A pawn to be sold to a monster like Wintermore!
04:09You ungrateful wretch!
04:13Isabelle, let's go! We're leaving this place!
04:16You dare!
04:18No matter where I flee, Lord Wintermore's men will find me.
04:23Eleanor, remember this. If a woman does not resist, she will end up just like me.
04:41No!
04:47Women don't get to choose! Not even in death! Send her body back to Lord Wintermore, now!
04:54But my lord, she died here. What if Lord Wintermore holds us accountable?
05:00Then we send Eleanor in her place. She will marry into House Wintermore!
05:07I won't marry him!
05:10This isn't fair!
05:12Fair? You think the world runs on fairness? In the North, the strong devour the weak!
05:17Your mother failed to bear me a son. Do you know how many covet our lands because of that?
05:21If not for Edmund carrying my blood, Housey Ironwood wouldn't even survive here!
05:26I carry your blood, too! I can study, learn magic! I can bring honor to the house!
05:30Enough!
05:32Since ancient times, only men wield magic!
05:35Even if a woman shows talent, she'll never amount to anything!
05:39You were born a woman! Know your place!
05:42I won't! That's not my fate!
05:45My lord, you can't do that! She's still just a child!
05:49Take her to her room, lock her in, and guard her well!
05:52At dawn, she goes to Lord Wintermore!
06:06Let me out! I'm not marrying Lord Wintermore!
06:09Open the door!
06:11Miss Eleanor, you should give up. No one disobeys your father's orders.
06:15What the?
06:19Eleanor! We have to go! Now!
06:25Move! Don't let her get away!
06:28Hurry! The carriage is just ahead! Go!
06:33Get in! Go now! I'll hold them off!
06:36We go together! I'm not leaving you behind!
06:39If you stay, you'll end up just like Isabelle.
06:42Used, sacrificed, then thrown away. Is that what you want?
06:47Go! Take her somewhere safe!
06:51Remember, never come back!
06:56Stop them!
07:01Agnes! Let go!
07:03Do you have any idea what you've done?
07:08Run! Eleanor!
07:11Run as far as you can!
07:14Mother! Mother!
07:24Mother!
07:24Mother!
07:31Where do you think you are going?
07:33It's your luck to be chosen by the Warden of the North, Lord Wintermore.
07:38Won't treat you badly. Come with us.
07:42Wintermore? That bastard again?
07:44I won't let him get his way with her.
07:46Please! Let me go!
07:47Ungrateful wench! You asked for it!
07:50Let her go!
07:53The. Hell!
07:54Little fucker! I serve the Warden of the North! Beat her up, now!
08:07I'm actually this good? A woman! Using magic?
08:13Pathetic. If this is the kind of filth serving the Great Warden, then he's nothing but trash himself.
08:19How dare you speak ill of Lord Wintermore!
08:23Bitch! I'll burn you to ashes!
08:26Aaaaaaah!
08:36Can't you see I was napping?
08:39You just had to wake me up? That was transmutation magic!
08:42Only high-level mages can pull that off!
08:45What are you standing around for? Get lost!
08:47Move! Go! Go!
08:52Kid.
08:54You didn't stand a chance back there.
08:56Why step in? Weren't you scared of getting hurt?
08:59If everyone just walks away, then what justice is there? Even if I get hurt. I won't regret it.
09:06Now that's a good kid. Tell you what, I'll take you in as my student. Want to learn magic?
09:11No offense. But do you always just pick students off the street like this?
09:15Godwin Knightford offering to take you as his stubborn, and you are hesitating.
09:20Your father, Lord Ironwood, once begged me for this chance.
09:24Wait! Your Archmaste Godwith Knightfeld of Aldoria?
09:29Please, take me as your student!
09:33Mother, wait for me.
09:36I'll get stronger. Stronger than anyone. Then I'll go back, and save you.
09:45Speak! Where did you send that little bastard?
09:51My daughter's free now. You'll never control her again.
09:55If we can't hand her over, Lord Wintermore won't spare us!
09:59You wretched sinner!
10:01From today on, you'll be the lowest of servants. Sleep in the stables!
10:06Eleanor, as long as you get out and live free, I'll take whatever comes.
10:21That's the raw power of magic! Tame it! Keep your center steady! Your body is the vessel! Lock that power
10:28in!
10:28You have to be as solid as an anchor, or this force will tear you apart!
10:34Again, channel that energy and roar!
10:48Oh!
11:02Well, well! Who would have thought the Lady of House Ironwood would end up like this?
11:06She let Elinor run and pissed off Lord Wintermore? She's got a death death wish.
11:27Where's my stepping stone? Go get her! Now!
11:33Welcome back, young master!
11:43Damn! This stepping stone's perfect! I could step on it forever!
11:59Mom, how are you? I've found a master. I'll be a mage soon.
12:05Just go to me. I'll be back at noon on the day of the tournament.
12:09I'll win, take over House Ironwood, and make everyone who hurt you pay.
12:31Eleanor, my dear daughter. As long as you're safe, I'm at peace. Don't rush your learning. Take it step by
12:37step and you'll get there. I'm doing fine. I just want you to live without worry.
12:48Mom, I'm not stupid. You helped me run away. There's no way Father would spare you.
13:06Mom, wait for me. I'll come back to save you.
13:11Not bad. Six months in.
13:13And you're already using high-level magic. In all of Aldoria, few could match you. It's time I hand the
13:20Dragonheart Circle over to you.
13:22Wait. You want me to lead the Dragonheart Order? That's the highest honor every battle mage in Alderia dreams of.
13:29For now, my disciple Hawkbridge is managing it. No matter where you are, fire this signal arrow and he'll come.
13:36I've taught you all I can. Go on.
13:41Master, I...
13:42You trained this hard to save your mother and to prove yourself, didn't you?
13:47But remember, once you've settled your family's grudges, you must use your power to help the people of Alderia.
14:19Arthur Hockerbin, at your service.
14:21Lord Hawkridge, what do you need?
14:24Grandmaster, joining the Dragonheart Circle is the highest honor among the nobles of Aldoria. These are the new candidates. Please
14:30review and approve them.
14:32Lord Wintermore?
14:34A monster who abuses his people and takes women by force. Someone like him has no place in the Dragonheart.
14:44I'll remove his name at once.
14:46I have important matters to attend to. If needed, come find me in Blackbark.
14:52Yes, Grandmaster.
14:58Young Master Edmund is the greatest mage Blackbark has ever seen. The lordship is practically yours. Allow me to be
15:06the first to congratulate you.
15:08Defeating House Stoneheart is only a matter of time. At this rate, Young Master Edmund could even become the next
15:16Warden of the North.
15:17Of course! Who else but me could become head of the House and a high-level mage?
15:26Such kind words. Please take your seats.
15:31Lord Ironwood has arrived.
15:41My lords and kin. Today, the young blood of our family will compete according to our ancient traditions.
15:49Let it be known, the strongest among you shall claim my seat and lead this house.
16:01Please, be seated. Let the tournament begin.
16:08The tournament begins!
16:15Who dares to fight me?
16:20Mom, I'm back.
16:24Today's the day I take the house and make them pay for everything they did to you!
16:33I'll fight you!
16:36I'll fight you!
17:04All four of you, come at once!
17:06Don't waste my time!
17:10Don't waste my time!
17:11I'll fight you!
17:14Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
17:23You're welcome!
17:24Who cares?
17:27That's too much acting.
17:33You'm over here!
17:35Shit!
17:36Dad!
17:37You're a great day!
17:39Don't waste my time!
17:40You're a great day!
17:57Anyone else?
18:00Anyone else?
18:02As expected of Lord Ironwood's blood to master summoning at such a young age.
18:08His potential is staggering.
18:10You're too kind. He still has much to learn.
18:14I hereby declare the next head of House Ironwood.
18:19My son, Edmund!
18:38And you think he's fit to lead Ironwood?
18:41No wonder your house has been rotting under our boots for years.
18:58Looks like House Ironwood of Blackbark is nothing but a bunch of noblies.
19:03Listen up! Today, I, Corvin Stoneheart, eldest son of House Stoneheart, will take over your house and end this feud
19:11once and for all.
19:13You arrogant fool!
19:15Father, since Stoneheart came here looking for death, I'll be the one to give it to.
19:23Good!
19:24Idiot.
19:25I'll show you what House Stoneheart is capable of.
19:29I see!
19:39We can't do it!
19:41It's just it's free!
19:51I need to go underfoot!
19:54I don't know.
20:26Edmund, my son!
20:28Edmund, are you all right?
20:33Get lost, all of you, get lost!
20:36Just as I thought.
20:38You're nothing but trash.
20:41Big words.
20:49Corbin Stoneheart, this is where you die.
20:56Jim!
20:57Kill him, Lord I am Lord!
21:02Father!
21:04Avenge me!
21:05Kill him, Lord I am Lord!
21:46My Lord!
21:50Who's next?
21:52You?
21:53You?
21:54Or you?
21:56On second thought, come at me all at once.
22:05What are you waiting for?
22:07Get in there!
22:08Whoever beats him becomes head of House Ironwood!
22:21Move!
22:22House Ironwood's honor is on the line!
22:24Are you really going to let that Stoneheart walk all over us?
22:28Edmund!
22:29Go!
22:29You're my son!
22:31You can't back down now!
22:35But I...
22:36An Ironwood would rather die than kneel!
22:44My Lord, he's already lost!
22:46Why send him to his death?
22:48Pathetic curse.
22:50Kneel to House Stoneheart,
22:52or be put down.
23:02Master Stoneheart!
23:04I yield!
23:05Please, spare me!
23:06I'll serve you!
23:07I'll do anything you ask!
23:10Good!
23:11That's how a dog should sound.
23:15How could you?
23:20From this moment on,
23:22Ironwood belongs to Stoneheart.
23:24You, Jack Stoneheart.
23:26You, John Stoneheart.
23:28And you.
23:29You've got the instincts of a good little dog.
23:32Fine.
23:32I'll let you rule in my name.
23:35Thank you, Master Stoneheart.
23:38From now on,
23:39I'm Edmund Stoneheart.
23:41What are you waiting for?
23:43Kneel!
23:44Kneel, Master Stoneheart!
23:47You cowards!
23:49Have you no pride left?
23:51Is this really how House Ironmerk ends?
24:00I'll fight him!
24:12My daughter,
24:14I know you'll return.
24:15Until that moment,
24:17I'll hold the line.
24:19You stupid woman!
24:20Have you lost your mind?
24:21Are you trying to doom House Ironwood?
24:23Well now,
24:24you?
24:25You think you can stand here with me?
24:27Tell me,
24:27can you even use magic?
24:29No.
24:30But I dare to fight you.
24:37Look at that!
24:38An old woman with more backbone
24:40than all the men of House Ironwood combined!
24:42Fine!
24:43I don't make a habit of slaughtering women.
24:45If you can survive three hits from me,
24:47I'll call it your win.
24:49Agnes, come back!
24:50You are a woman!
24:51You have no business on a battlefield!
24:53And yet,
24:54I'm the one standing here.
24:59Three strikes!
25:01Go on!
25:02Try not to die too quickly.
25:14You barely lasted a breath.
25:17You barely lasted a breath.
25:32Why is she still getting up?
25:34Agnes, stop!
25:36You can't win against a man!
25:38Know your place!
25:39Don't mistake me for them.
25:41They choose to kneel.
25:42I don't.
25:47Where's your second strike?
25:51She's still asking for more?
25:53Agnes!
25:55Don't throw your life away!
25:56She's lost her mind!
25:59Again!
26:01If you insist!
26:12Mother,
26:13wait for me.
26:38All that talk.
26:40But you're still just a woman.
26:51She got up again?
26:54You're still standing?
26:55Eleanor,
26:56whether you make it back today or not,
26:58I want you to know.
26:59Your mother will always stand by your dream.
27:03Live for yourself,
27:04and for every woman who's been told she can't.
27:07Lady Ironwood,
27:08please!
27:08Don't push yourself anymore!
27:10No!
27:19Now,
27:20the third strike.
27:22Come on.
27:23I heard you fell this low for letting your daughter escape,
27:26crossed Lord Wintermer for it.
27:28What,
27:29you still think she's coming back to save you?
27:31You're wrong.
27:32I don't need her to come back.
27:34Knowing she's safe,
27:36that's enough.
27:38I wasn't even trying before.
27:41But if you're so eager to die,
27:44I'll grant your wish.
27:48Then do it.
27:49I'm not afraid of you.
27:51Eleanor,
27:52remember this.
27:53Your life is yours to shape.
27:56They say women are less than men,
27:58but we are not.
28:00We stand on our own,
28:01and we stand strong.
28:03Women,
28:04stand on our own.
28:06Women,
28:07we stand on our own.
28:09Agnes!
28:10Why would you throw your life away like this?
28:13Everyone dies.
28:14I've endured this house for over twenty years,
28:17treated like nothing,
28:18looked down on,
28:19ordered around,
28:20and now look at you,
28:21all on your knees.
28:23But I won't kneel.
28:24Let everyone see this.
28:26A woman's knees are stronger than any man's.
28:30Come on!
28:47My daughter,
28:49I love you more than anything.
28:51Go now!
28:52I'll hold them off!
28:52But the road ahead,
28:53you'll have to walk it on your own.
29:02Go now!
29:18Go now!
29:35You dared
29:37lay a hand on my mother.
29:39Chia!
29:45You're dead!
