Short filmTranscript
00:00:04A hundred years passed. The realm was undone by its own celebration. At the wedding feast of Princess Rosalie and
00:00:14Lord Varden Hawthorne, the fields of Shrewsbury gave forth their first poisoned harvest, and the royal table was its victim.
00:00:24All who supped that night perished, save one, Prince Varden, who was too anxious to eat. By dawn, he was
00:00:34king.
00:00:35The blight spread swiftly through all the shires except Vindishur, whose walls held firm and whose grain endured.
00:00:45Thus, the new king made Vindishur the seat of power, but gave back to the blighted counties a competition soaked
00:00:55in blood.
00:00:57We honor that competition with the legacy of the most eligible heiress.
00:01:07What an exhilarating day for us all. Truly, this is what the most eligible heiress is meant to celebrate.
00:01:17The pursuit of love. But most importantly, to root out the traitors and threats to the realm.
00:01:27Concurrent to the wedding, we will commence on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
00:01:34What? Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
00:01:44Shall we unveil our nominee?
00:01:49No! No!
00:01:56Ilara, you shouldn't!
00:01:58Why haven't you confirmed that I am the nominee?
00:02:00While I understand why...
00:02:01No! You don't.
00:02:04Perhaps.
00:02:06But there's more to account for than your wants.
00:02:08We are in a dire position.
00:02:10It's imperative.
00:02:11Whomever represents this county must be able to make it deep into the competition.
00:02:16I am by far the best trained that you...
00:02:19That is not the issue!
00:02:21If they find out your true family name, they'll kill you, they'll break the competition, you will die, and the
00:02:30county will be left with nothing!
00:02:32No. They cannot possibly do that again.
00:02:34I understand what happened to Everett was evil, but there is a whole county of people for whom I am
00:02:43the guardian.
00:02:45You are a bureaucrat.
00:02:48If we place last, everyone will starve, your mother and sister included, think of Elowen.
00:02:57That's why I'm the only option.
00:03:05I have little to offer.
00:03:08What is this?
00:03:09I gave the same token to Everett before he left.
00:03:12I'm certain those last letters were meaningful.
00:03:22Mother, are you awake?
00:03:25Hmm.
00:03:26My darling girl.
00:03:30I left enough food for you and Elowen.
00:03:33Beautiful little princess.
00:03:38I wish I could have given you the life we deserve.
00:03:43Everett was supposed to reclaim what was ours.
00:03:46I know.
00:03:47I know, Mother.
00:03:49I'm going to do that now.
00:03:51Never again.
00:03:53I won't.
00:03:54I won't, Mother.
00:03:58Are you actually leaving us?
00:04:07Elowen, I have to do this.
00:04:10What if you...
00:04:11I won't.
00:04:13He taught me everything I know.
00:04:16I promise to win.
00:04:19Everett promised me the same thing.
00:04:22I know.
00:04:24You promised me too.
00:04:27Here.
00:04:29Do your makeup like I taught you.
00:04:31He'll be sure to tease you.
00:04:39Ellie, what is this?
00:04:40It's a hairpin.
00:04:42I found it in Mom's drawer.
00:04:44She'd give it to you if she knew.
00:04:46I doubt it.
00:04:47I don't.
00:04:48I don't know.
00:04:57I don't know.
00:05:02I don't know.

00:16:01i
00:16:26so
00:16:31I've got to be one of thieves' lust.
00:16:43Yes!
00:16:51Your Highness, the ladies were most impressive today.
00:16:55Though they did inquire about your whereabouts.
00:16:59And...
00:17:00Tradition dictates...
00:17:01I'm the heir to the throne.
00:17:03I will act in the way of my choosing.
00:17:06As is your God-given right.
00:17:08Is that the whole of it?
00:17:10I'm growing tired of this conversation.
00:17:13If I may.
00:17:14The circumstances of tomorrow's games are such that it would be most respectful to have you in attendance.
00:17:22Then so be it.
00:17:27You don't need to be here.
00:17:29Letters day.
00:17:31Fine.
00:17:32When you get to the manor, you must try to get into the library alone.
00:17:37You must try to find a book about the Eaton family or written by a family member.
00:17:43Must we revisit this?
00:17:44They've not destroyed history.
00:17:46They've just distorted it.
00:17:48There's proof in there.
00:17:51I will find it, Mother.
00:18:08Who goes there?
00:18:12Please don't threaten me, sir.
00:18:13I was merely grabbing this on the Governor's orders.
00:18:16So you'll have my head if I don't return soon.
00:18:19You must be the new servant, girl.
00:18:22You should be more careful next time.
00:18:25The governess does not appreciate tardiness.
00:18:28Off you go.
00:18:28Come on.
00:18:30Come on.
00:18:30Get in.
00:18:47You too.
00:18:52You're not due to my test!
00:18:55I know you're fine.
00:18:55It's not due.
00:18:56You know, I'm sorry.
00:18:59You're right.
00:19:00to ensure it's suitable for the prince's precious eyes.
00:19:05That is very, very kind of you.
00:19:13You better sneak off before we're caught fraternizing.
00:19:21Trust you all are rested.
00:19:24Today, we highlight your ability with a sword.
00:19:27You will be paired up in a series of duels.
00:19:30Win, and you earn your safety.
00:19:33Lose, and you shall fight again.
00:19:35I claim Shrewsbury.
00:19:38Why did you help me yesterday?
00:19:41I... I don't know.
00:19:43I advise you to mind your wits.
00:19:45We just picked you to be the first to fall.
00:19:48Thankfully, Prince Theo has honored us with his presence today.
00:19:59The most handsome man I've seen.
00:20:02He is as I expected.
00:20:04How do they even know he's attractive?
00:20:06He's wearing that meticulous mask.
00:20:08He's the prince.
00:20:09He's good enough, I guess.
00:20:12The pairings will be Clementine and Amina,
00:20:16Jane and Aiko,
00:20:18and finally, Juliet and Alara.
00:20:23Begin.
00:20:43It's a shame this isn't a real sword.
00:20:45You'd have already bled out.
00:20:47Or I'd have cut you to pieces before you could even land a hit.
00:20:52The next pairings are Alara versus Aiko,
00:20:57and Amina...
00:20:59I'd be happy to fight again, governess.
00:21:02Shrewsbury was barely a challenge.
00:21:04Thank you, Juliet.
00:21:06You are so gracious to put your body on the line.
00:21:09You need to relax.
00:21:11I've never fought this way before.
00:21:13Like an animal.
00:21:14You only need one hit for victory.
00:21:25The final fight will be between Amina and Alara.
00:21:31In this round, the rules have changed.
00:21:34Only one of you will remain in competition.
00:21:38I know.
00:21:38It sucks.
00:21:40Stay light on your feet.
00:21:41Parry any blows.
00:21:43Why are you helping me?
00:21:44I always repay my debts.
00:21:46Let's begin.
00:21:59Finish this already.
00:22:00Quick and nimble.
00:22:02Quick and nimble.
00:22:08Make it quick.
00:22:13Make it quick.
00:22:27Amina would have been a beautiful queen.
00:22:29Henceforth, the resources to the Silver Keep shall be greatly reduced.
00:22:36How thrilling.
00:22:38Five of you move on to the next trial.
00:23:00Is this what you're after?
00:23:04Perhaps.
00:23:07Are you following me?
00:23:08Why do you care so much about the Eatons?
00:23:12Must a young lady's interest in history be deemed so unseemly?
00:23:17If I may.
00:23:19We can work together, you know.
00:23:22You tell me why you care so much about the Eatons, and I'll not only give you this book,
00:23:26but I'll show you where the family tree is located.
00:23:30If this is a trick, I will kill you.
00:23:34I swear on my prince.
00:23:41The Eatons were the original royal family.
00:23:45There was always whisperings in Shrewsbury that the Great Famine was used to bury the truth.
00:23:51The truth?
00:23:53That the Eatons were usurped.
00:23:56Hmm.
00:23:58Some people would consider that perspective treason.
00:24:02Well, but in that case, I am lucky to consider myself a skeptic.
00:24:28Who are you really?
00:24:31What makes you so interested?
00:24:33The governess wants you dead.
00:24:35She doesn't do anything without a reason.
00:24:37Does the governess not work for your fair prince?
00:24:40Things are rarely as they seem when the ruling class is involved.
00:24:52Now show me to this family tree section.
00:24:54Go.
00:25:07This tea just isn't the same as home.
00:25:10I miss that.
00:25:11I don't think it's that bad.
00:25:12You have tea in Shrewsbury?
00:25:15Doubtful.
00:25:17They don't have proper floors in their houses.
00:25:26Is she okay?
00:25:33Clementine.
00:25:36You don't look so good.
00:25:38Neither do you.
00:25:50To triumph in this contest,
00:25:54one must summon fortitude of the mind at a moment's call.
00:25:59Alas, you are all poison.
00:26:04Four antidotes, four hopes.
00:26:07In turn, we shall pose riddles.
00:26:11A right answer grants life.
00:26:15Juliet.
00:26:16How do we determine the order?
00:26:17It's my discretion.
00:26:19Juliet.
00:26:20The maker doesn't want it.
00:26:22The buyer doesn't use it.
00:26:24The user doesn't know it.
00:26:26What is it?
00:26:28A coffin.
00:26:38Clementine.
00:26:39It is the beginning of eternity.
00:26:42The end of time and space.
00:26:45It is the start of every end.
00:26:48The end of every place.
00:26:51The letter E.
00:27:03Jane.
00:27:04Cold makes me calm.
00:27:07Heat makes me mad.
00:27:09I break before I bend.
00:27:11What am I?
00:27:15Ice.
00:27:16Correct.
00:27:17She's from Grim Frost.
00:27:20It appears that we only have one dose left and two contestants.
00:27:26Who would like...
00:27:28Please!
00:27:28I am ready.
00:27:31I go.
00:27:32I can crown a fool or expose a queen, yet I have no tongue, only reflection.
00:27:41It's so simple.
00:27:44Time's up.
00:27:46A diamond.
00:27:49Incorrect.
00:27:49The mirror!
00:27:50The mirror!
00:27:51The answer is a mirror!
00:27:52That is correct, but that is not your riddle.
00:27:57The poison must be setting in.
00:28:02Elara, I am born when two lie, but die when one tells the truth.
00:28:12A secret!
00:28:14A secret!
00:28:16How fortunate!
00:28:36And she exits.
00:28:40Farewell.
00:28:42Farewell.
00:28:52What was it like to grow up in the mountains of Grimfrost?
00:28:57Cold.
00:28:59Do you enjoy the heat?
00:29:01It gets quite warm in Vindershire.
00:29:12Seeing as we're the last two, shall we drink until it's our turn?
00:29:17It's in our ride after today.
00:29:21Is that not considered fraternizing?
00:29:24That only refers to the servants.
00:29:27Oh, my.
00:29:28Where did you get a dress like this?
00:29:33Elara, I want you alive.
00:29:35I wouldn't poison you mine.
00:29:40Am I not your competition?
00:29:43No, actually, you're not.
00:29:46Are we back to playing riddles again?
00:29:48I don't want to be married to the prince.
00:29:50I only want the riches.
00:29:53How much do you know about Fairmeadow?
00:30:02Not much.
00:30:04Besides it being considered the revelry capital.
00:30:06Dancing and gambling.
00:30:08Which is why I want to form an alliance.
00:30:11Yes, it's important to have a partner.
00:30:14I'm listening.
00:30:18My father is the Duke.
00:30:20And also a degenerate gambler.
00:30:23So much so, our entire family is in danger of losing our status.
00:30:27The most eligible heiress is the largest gambling event in the county.
00:30:32Everyone likes to place a bet.
00:30:34And you, you are my fortune incarnate.
00:30:46So, why not bet on yourself?
00:30:49Take the money and the crown.
00:30:51One, I'm not so sure I could win.
00:30:54Two, you by far have the most profitable odds.
00:30:59After the first day, I sent my family instructions to bet every last piece of gold on you winning.
00:31:06Well, I am honored.
00:31:09You certainly seem confident.
00:31:11Much like my father, I like a favorable bet.
00:31:15And in exchange for your help, you let me live.
00:31:20Oftentimes, there's only one heiress remaining.
00:31:22But it's not uncommon for the winner to take mercy on the competitor if they back down.
00:31:28How do I know this isn't some trick to get my guard down?
00:31:31You won't.
00:31:32But you might have to.
00:31:37Now, why don't you try on this beautiful dress for me?
00:31:40I want you to look good for the prince.
00:32:01Is he really going to be here this whole time?
00:32:08Hurry up!
00:32:09I have to go soon!
00:32:15He'd have to be a fool now to rank you first.
00:32:20All right, it's time for my departure.
00:32:24Oh, and don't spend too much time carrying on with that footman of his.
00:32:28Guessing he's the jealous type.
00:32:31How did you?
00:32:33And then, I took my father's sword and slashed the boar's head right off.
00:32:50It was amazing.
00:32:54Excuse me, your highness.
00:32:56You are excused, Andrew.
00:33:03Now that we're alone, the real fun can begin.
00:33:15Don't you think it'd be so much better if we just took this thing right off?
00:33:23Kinky.
00:33:25I can work with that.
00:33:29That better not be your damn footman again.
00:33:33Well, looks like you're having a good time, your highness.
00:33:37I sure was, until you barged in.
00:33:39Sadly, your time is up, Juliet.
00:33:51Don't forget about me.
00:33:58Good luck following that up.
00:34:03I assume it went well.
00:34:05If you would have given me 10 more minutes, we would have been in the bed.
00:34:08I gave you the most time.
00:34:10Now, I need you to fulfill your end of the deal.
00:34:14Why do you care so much about that peasant girl?
00:34:16That's none of your concern, but I have told the others that whoever takes Alara out first
00:34:21will be given a huge advantage going forward.
00:34:25I'm up for a challenge.
00:34:30You should try sneaking to the gambling duns in Fairmeadow.
00:34:33He could get into some good trouble.
00:34:36I do enjoy a bit of mischief.
00:34:42Miss Parker, your time is up.
00:34:44Please wait outside.
00:34:52That was the last one.
00:34:54You may retire to your bedroom.
00:34:56Isn't there one more?
00:34:57No, she's not feeling well.
00:35:07Why are you here?
00:35:09I had to see the most beautiful woman here with my own two eyes.
00:35:12Keep your honey tongue.
00:35:14It sweetens nothing I desire.
00:35:18That's a shame.
00:35:21Unfortunately for you, I have a date with the prince.
00:35:24Actually, you don't.
00:35:29He's retired to his room for the evening.
00:35:32But fortunately for you, I'm here to report back to Prince Theo about your sparkling personality.
00:35:39Plus, I could never let you waste a look as stunning as this.
00:35:44You deserve to be seen, even if it's just by me.
00:35:49Shall we?
00:35:58I asked the prince if he knew anything about the Eatons.
00:36:02And?
00:36:02Did he ignore you completely?
00:36:05No.
00:36:06But he did sneak into the governess of study and steal this.
00:36:12What is this?
00:36:13It's the governor's official log.
00:36:16She writes everything down.
00:36:19I had a quick look through there.
00:36:20There's some good leads.
00:36:22Leads?
00:36:23Leads on what?
00:36:25I don't think Princess Maeve died of natural causes.
00:36:28You think the king killed her?
00:36:31You think King Raphael killed the heir to his own throne?
00:36:39What are you doing?
00:36:40I think it's time you and I have a little chat.
00:36:44Actually, King Raphael seems so horrible, I wouldn't even be surprised.
00:36:53You possess a remarkable capacity for surprise.
00:37:26You are making me forget my matters in place.
00:37:32If you are betraying me, I will drive this knife so far into your neck, I swear to God.
00:37:45Then I must do what you say.
00:37:51Go on.
00:38:04what are you thinking about simply longing for a repetition of a particular moment
00:38:10whatever is the obstacle
00:38:15because i uh i need to show you this stack earlier today i found this and i think would be
00:38:22beneficial
00:38:23if you read it do you think this could be proof of the famine whatever you do do not let
00:38:29anyone
00:38:30know you have this based on what's inside it could be really dangerous if you're caught with it
00:38:44how's your health quite well why the governess she must have been mistaken
00:38:54anyway if my footman happens to be here too can you let him know i need him at his convenience
00:38:59after he escorts you back of course
00:39:03certainly
00:39:10how can you stand to work for him actually for the whole royal family it's complicated
00:39:16the royal family is incredibly sheltered compared to the rest of the realm because that's an
00:39:20acceptable excuse well working for them means i am too i never knew what was going on in shrewsbury
00:39:26till i met you so i doubt the prince knows either plausible deniability he's the prince
00:39:32he can go and see for himself king rafael would never allow that he lives a life of luxury while
00:39:37his subjects suffer ignorance is a choice more than a circumstance
00:39:45don't tell the prince that i'm not one to refrain from candor
00:39:51i need you to ride to the castle at once king rafael needs to be informed of my suspicions
00:39:57do not stop this is urgent
00:40:11can i tempt you to stay
00:40:13i wish i wish but when the prince calls i must answer
00:40:34i'll be dreaming of that
00:40:50good morning your highness the rankings are as follows juliet jane clementine and elara
00:40:59no no no ilara holloway is number one do i need to remind you of your place governess
00:41:07no your highness it's merely that your father will be disappointed
00:41:28good morning to you all today you will compete in a game that is a favorite amongst the children
00:41:36of the royal family hounds and the crown we need to talk about what you're fraternizing

00:41:58room safely
00:41:59the hounds will aim to prevent that by any means of their choosing
00:42:05of course the royal family would play a twisted game like this
00:42:09how will you decide who the crown is
00:42:11it's based on your ranking by prince theo himself
00:42:15elara
00:42:16you currently hold that coveted spot

00:47:18Maeve once told me the same
00:47:20she wasn't wrong though
00:47:21was she?
00:47:23she was very wrong
00:47:25this competition isn't about love

00:49:15that is
00:49:19just an easy kill

00:49:34so much blood on your hands
00:49:43the hour is almost over

00:49:47no, I haven't

00:51:26I've been promised Prince Theo since birth
00:51:29this competition is mine to win

00:53:20Your Majesty.
00:53:24My confidence is waning.
00:53:27Your Majesty, the game's not complete.
00:53:30You don't seem to grasp the consequence.
00:53:33Should Shrewsbury prevail, the realm may be plunged into disarray.
00:53:37I have done all within my will.
00:53:40It was you who insisted we not kill her in cold blood.
00:53:44As a king, you must respect tradition.
00:53:49End this conflict by tomorrow.
00:53:52Or your own head will be on the line.
00:54:03I thought I was going to lose you.
00:54:06It takes more than that to kill me.
00:54:09I hope so.
00:54:12I hope so.
00:54:27I hope so.
00:54:34I hope so.
00:54:36I hope so.
00:55:36I just don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:38Yet all the books uneaten, dust free in library.
00:55:44I shall put it thus.
00:55:45Whatever happens on the morrow, I pray no tragedy finds its way to your home.
00:55:53Your poor mother is fragile, is she not?
00:55:57Don't.
00:55:57And your young sister now telling how she might react to such an event.
00:56:03Grief can drive a person to dreadful and permanent choices.
00:56:13Perhaps it's time to reconsider your position.
00:56:19I'm certain we can make an arrangement.
00:56:31Are you okay?
00:56:32Hey, I need you to do something for me.
00:56:35Anything.
00:56:47If anything should happen to me, I need you to get this to my sister, Elowen Weaver.
00:56:54Of course.
00:56:55Please promise me.
00:56:57I promise, yeah.
00:56:59Weaver.
00:57:01Wait.
00:57:03Why is her last name different to yours?
00:57:06I need to tell you something.
00:57:20For you, for tonight, stay safe.
00:57:25Prince Theo.
00:57:40Presenting your majesty, King Raphael, ruler of Vindalaris.
00:57:46Also in attendance, Prince Theo, heir to the Vindalaris throne.
00:57:55Welcome, my subject.
00:57:56Thank you so much for coming to celebrate the end of the most eligible heiress.
00:58:04Without further ado, I'd love to introduce you to the three finalists.
00:58:10First, we have Miss Clementine Parker of Fairmeadow.
00:58:18Next, the beauty of Amberhelm and frontrunner, Miss Juliette Ashford.
00:58:27And finally, we have Alara Weaver from Shrewsbury.
00:58:45Now, please, everyone, take to the sides of the room, and as best as you can, cover any exits.
00:58:57Ladies, please, please, please, please, please, please take your weapons.
00:59:08It's time for the final task.
00:59:11The three of you must choose one to kill.
01:00:05Well done, ladies.
01:00:08What a show.
01:00:11Now, there can be only one.
01:00:16Fight.
01:00:19No. No, this can't be it.
01:00:22It was too much to ask for us to both make it out alive.
01:00:27Do what you have to do.
01:00:29No. I can't.
01:00:34No, I won't. I won't.
01:00:41I'm so sorry, Clementine.
01:00:45Kill her!
01:00:51That was for my brother!
01:00:54For my sister!
01:00:58For Shrewsbury!
01:01:01For me!
01:01:14Guards!
01:01:16Caesar!
01:01:18Stop!
01:01:21This whole competition is for me to choose who and what I want.
01:01:26And what I want is for this bloodshed to end.
01:01:33Lady Clementine Parker, you shall return home in second place.
01:01:42Alara Weaver of Shrewsbury, I choose you to be my partner, my bride, and my future queen.
01:01:54What a thrilling conclusion to the most eligible heiress.
01:01:58Son, bring your paramour to your quarters so we may finalize this.
01:02:06Let the festivities begin!
01:02:09Please wait. We don't have much time.
01:02:11Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!
01:02:14I should let you. I know I deserve it.
01:02:16But please listen. I am not the enemy.
01:02:30Andrew?
01:02:34What's going on?
01:02:34Please, let me explain, okay?
01:02:38I am not the enemy.
01:02:39My father forced me to do all this because of a tradition against my will.
01:02:43So, I came up with a plan.
01:02:45My footman posed as me in the mask and I became my footman.
01:02:49I wanted to know why the governess wanted you dead.
01:02:52And then I met you in the woods and...
01:02:55With each conversation we had, I fell more and more in love with you.
01:02:58And I couldn't bear the thought of not being with you.
01:03:01Not kissing you.
01:03:03I choose you.
01:03:04And I will continue to choose you every single time.
01:03:08But you're the reason why Everett's dead!
01:03:11I have spent every single day for the past four years thinking about killing you!
01:03:16Don't you see?
01:03:17My father and the governess are the reason why your brother's dead.
01:03:21They plotted to kill him because they believe that anyone from Shrewsbury can't win.
01:03:24They think anyone from there is connected to the escaped princess.
01:03:27My mother always said that we are.
01:03:29I don't care about that, Alara.
01:03:31I would choose you if you were a peasant and I would choose you if you were a princess.
01:03:35And from this day forward, I am choosing to protect you.
01:03:40We can protect each other, can't you see that?
01:03:45My father is the enemy to the both of us.
01:03:49He killed your brother.
01:03:51And I'm pretty sure he killed Maeve too.
01:03:55We don't have much time, okay?
01:03:56I need you to help me take him down.
01:03:58I need to find out what secrets did he know?
01:04:00What is he keeping that he would kill his own heir?
01:04:06I'll kill him before he kills you or her.
01:04:20Is your name even Andrew?
01:04:23Maeve called me by my middle name.
01:04:26And I'd be honored if he called me Andrew too.
01:04:32Not wasting any time then, son.
01:04:37Well done, Miss Weaver.
01:04:44Now that you both had some respite, I need you both back inside to make a formal announcement of your
01:04:49marriage.
01:04:56I hope this is worth it, dear.
01:05:08We will get revenge. He will die. And he will never host one of these again, I swear.
01:05:18Ah.
01:05:22What an exhilarating day for us all.
01:05:26Truly, this is what the most eligible heiress is meant to celebrate.
01:05:32The pursuit of love.
01:05:34But most importantly, to root out the traitors and threats to the realm.
01:05:41Which is why I'd like to make dueling announcements.
01:05:46Firstly, the wedding of my son, Prince Theo.
01:05:50Which we plan to consummate in the fortnight.
01:05:59Second, concurrent to the wedding, we will commence on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
01:06:09What? What?
01:06:11Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
01:06:18Father, let's discuss this in private.
01:06:22Shall we unveil our nominee?
01:06:27No, Ed! No! No!
01:06:30Stop, Miss Weaver. Unless you'd like me to execute your sister here and now.
01:06:34No!
01:06:40Seize them all!
01:06:43We have to go now!
01:06:46I want a Laura Weaver's hand!
01:06:49And I want it now!
