Short filmTranscript
00:00:04A hundred years passed. The realm was undone by its own celebration. At the wedding feast of
00:00:12Princess Rosalie and Lord Varden Hawthorne, the fields of Shrewsbury gave forth their first
00:00:20poisoned harvest, and the royal table was its victim. All who supped that night perished,
00:00:27save one, Prince Varden, who was too anxious to eat. By dawn, he was king. The blight spread swiftly
00:00:38through all the shires except Vindisher, whose walls held firm and whose grain endured. Thus,
00:00:46the new king made Vindisher the seat of power, but gave back to the blighted counties a competition
00:00:54soaked in blood. We honor that competition with the legacy of the most eligible heiress.
00:01:06Hmm. What an exhilarating day for us all. Truly, this is what the most eligible heiress is meant to
00:01:16celebrate. The pursuit of love. But most importantly, to root out the traitors and threats to the realm
00:01:26concurrent to the wedding, we will commence on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
00:01:35What? What?
00:01:36Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
00:01:44Shall we unveil our nominee?
00:01:49No! No!
00:01:56Hilara, you shouldn't!
00:01:58Why haven't you confirmed that I am the nominee?
00:01:59While I understand why...
00:02:01No!
00:02:02You don't.
00:02:04Perhaps.
00:02:05But there's more to account for than your wants.
00:02:08We are in a dire position.
00:02:10It's imperative. Whomever 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.
00:02:26But I...
00:02:27They'll break the competition, you will die, and the county will be left with nothing!
00:02:32No. They cannot possibly do that again.
00:02:34I understand what happened to Everett was evil.
00:02:40But there is a whole county of people for whom I am the guardian.
00:02:45You are a bureaucrat.
00:02:48If we place last...
00:02:52Everyone will starve.
00:02:53Your mother and sister included.
00:02:56Think 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...
00:03:13Those last letters were meaningful.
00:03:22Mother, are you awake?
00:03:24Hmm.
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.
00:03:56Mother.
00:03:58Are you actually leaving us?
00:04:06Elowen, I have to do this.
00:04:09What if you...
00:04:10I won't.
00:04:12He taught me everything I know.
00:04:15I promise to win.
00:04:19Ever promised me the same thing.
00:04:22I know.
00:04:23You promised me too.
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.
00:04:46I don't.
00:04:56Elowen.
00:04:58Your Majesty, I must offer my condolences for Princess Maeve tragedy.
00:05:02There is always trouble in our time.
00:05:05How goes the manor preparations?
00:05:07I do believe this year is set to be the greatest in recent memory.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:14And the Prince's reaction?
00:05:16Good.
00:05:17He is choosing a mask as we speak.
00:05:24And the other contestants?
00:05:26The young lady from Emberhelm, Juliet Ashford, chose the most promise this year.
00:05:31By reports, she's deeply adept with the sword.
00:05:33And has a confident disposition.
00:05:36Pick up those bags.
00:05:40Ever the obedient one, aren't you?
00:05:43Fair medals maiden is Clementine Parker.
00:05:47The Duke's gambling debts have put his family in a precarious situation.
00:05:51Her entry is truly an act of courage.
00:05:55Compellingly, we have another member of the Matsumoto clan.
00:05:58Oh, so winning this competition is in their bloodlines.
00:06:02The Matsumotos have sent their daughter Aiko to compete.
00:06:05She is known for her agility and balance.
00:06:09Who else?
00:06:10Jane and Miobe.
00:06:11The whispers from the realm tell me she's quite strong, but perhaps a bit dim-witted.
00:06:18It's always a good test for the others to have a sturdy simpleton.
00:06:21The final contender is Amina Masood from Silverkeep.
00:06:26She became the nominee after an accident befell the previous nominee.
00:06:31And the girl from Shrewsbury.
00:06:34Elara Halloway.
00:06:36You needn't concern yourself.
00:06:38Let there be no more Shrewsbury mistakes.
00:06:40The fate of the Weaver Boy and poor Maeve should suffice as lesson.
00:06:59Welcome to your first task of the most eligible heiress of Shrewsbury.
00:07:04Navigate yourself to the manor.
00:07:06The future queen must be smart, savvy, and know the woods.
00:07:09There are traps and deadly contestants in your way.
00:07:12The first to arrive will receive a boon, the last to handicap.
00:07:23Is it too much to ask that you'll carry my bag for me?
00:07:48I don't need that patch to tell me you're Shrewsbury filth.
00:07:50Is it my perfect posture?
00:07:57Tisla.
00:08:07If you're ever in the woods had a loss, always remember to find the moss.
00:08:33Lovely hairpin.
00:08:35There's a pit trap.
00:08:37Out that way.
00:08:48The gold is very becoming, your highness.
00:08:52Great choice.
00:08:57It is customary for you to welcome the ladies who survived the first task to the manor.
00:09:05But, your highness, it is the tradition of...
00:09:09Are you instructing the future heir on how to behave?
00:09:12No, your highness.
00:09:14I would never overstep my bounds.
00:09:17That is all for now.
00:09:26I bet they didn't teach you how to use a bow and arrow in Shrewsbury.
00:09:30No.
00:09:31But they did teach us how to have better aim than you.
00:09:35You call that good aim?
00:09:37Yes.
00:09:42We have orders from the governess.
00:09:45We must find the Shrewsbury girl.
00:09:51Here, this way.
00:09:53I'm delighted to finally meet your acquaintance.
00:09:56Much has been spoken about you.
00:09:58I don't have time for this.
00:10:00I'm Andrew, the prince's first footman.
00:10:02And I'm the most eligible heiress.
00:10:05Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:10:11Quick.
00:10:12She should be close.
00:10:14You're welcome.
00:10:16Again.
00:10:20Over there.
00:10:22You're first.
00:10:24Which will certainly impress the prince.
00:10:30I am in your debt.
00:10:50Laura Holloway of Shrewsbury, allow me to offer my congratulations on your most unexpected success.
00:11:00Perhaps something to become accustomed to.
00:11:02How delightful to see you so spirited at the outset.
00:11:05I do hope you can sustain it.
00:11:09At your pleasure.
00:11:12A fine attempt, Miss Matsumoto.
00:11:14I had every expectation of brilliance.
00:11:17But your brother does cast a long shadow.
00:11:36Miss Matsumoto, what a mercy you have escaped the woods' appetite.
00:11:41I didn't...
00:11:42My compliments to you all on your safe arrival.
00:11:46Ordinarily, we have at least one soul who fails to find their way out of the woods.
00:11:53We are blessed with uncommon talent.
00:11:57Shrewsbury has claimed first arrival.
00:12:00By right of the rules, the finest room in the manor shall be hers.
00:12:05Fortune does favor the swift.
00:12:07Where's Prince Theo?
00:12:08All in due time, dear Juliet.
00:12:15Regrettably, as last to arrive, you must accept the handicap that accompanies such tardiness.
00:12:32Let this be your last failing.
00:12:35Find the wound tightly.
00:12:44Only one of you will be the most eligible heiress.
00:12:50The victory is within your control.
00:12:53Tomorrow will be a spirited contest of arms.
00:12:58Advance and you shall face a battle of wits.
00:13:01And if you're lucky enough to get to the third task,
00:13:05well, that is often the king's favorite.
00:13:09One last thing.
00:13:12There will be no fraternizing with the servants.
00:13:15They are here to work.
00:13:17If you are found violating this,
00:13:21you will be removed from the competition.
00:13:24I will escort all of you to your rooms.
00:13:28Except you.
00:13:30Stay here.
00:13:32I will return in due course.
00:13:50I'd be happy to escort you to your room.
00:13:54I'd be happy to escort you to your room.
00:13:57You know, I'd be happy to escort you to your room.
00:14:00Yeah, I don't think she's coming back.
00:14:03She seems mad that you won.
00:14:07Perhaps you shouldn't have underestimated me then.
00:14:10Don't worry.
00:14:14I'm not.
00:14:21Does this count as fraternizing with the help?
00:14:23I'm merely helping you get to your room.
00:14:26But let's not get caught.
00:14:36Thank you for the official escort.
00:14:41Now go before we get caught.
00:14:50Why did you choose to do this?
00:14:53My older brother died a couple of years ago.
00:14:57And if I want my little sister to have a better life,
00:15:00then I need to win.
00:15:01For her.
00:15:05I recently lost my sister.
00:15:08Losing a sibling is really hard.
00:15:14You've become a target.
00:15:17You need to be more careful.
00:15:19I don't want to see you go down so fast.
00:15:22They don't scare me.
00:15:24But it's kind that you're so worried about me.
00:15:44I hope you live long enough for me to see you in this,
00:15:47Prince Theo.
00:15:55This sword could feed us for years.
00:15:57Please.
00:15:57I don't know.
00:16:31I've got to be one of these must yes your highness the ladies were most impressive today though
00:16:56they did inquire about your whereabouts and tradition dictates I'm the heir to the throne
00:17:03I will act in the way of my choosing as is your god-given right is that the whole of
00:17:09it
00:17:10I'm growing tired of this conversation if I may
00:17:13the circumstances of tomorrow's games are such that it would be most respectful to have you in
00:17:21attendance and so be it
00:17:27you don't need to be here
00:17:29letters day
00:17:30fine when you get to the manor you must try to get into the library alone
00:17:36you must try to find a book about the eaten family or written by a family member

00:18:16she'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

00:18:27off you go
00:18:47sneaking around the castle are we
00:18:52shouldn't you be standing guard of the prince's quarters
00:18:55it's difficult to get him to sleep without a bedtime towel perhaps
00:18:58I should probably read it first
00:19:00to ensure it's suitable
00:19:02for 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

00:23:51the truth
00:23:53the truth
00:23:53that the Eatons
00:23:54were usurped

00:29:48I don't want to be married to the prince
00:29:49I only want the riches
00:29:52how much do you know about fair meadow?
00:30:02not much
00:30:03besides it being considered the revelry capital
00:30:06dancing and gambling
00:30:08which is why I want to form an alliance
00:30:11it'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
00:30:24is in danger of losing our status
00:30:27the most eligible heiress
00:30:28is the largest gambling event
00:30:30in the county
00:30:32everyone likes to place a bet

00:31:03on you winning
00:31:05well

00:31:12I like a favorable bet
00:31:15and in exchange for your help
00:31:17you let me live
00:31:20often times there's only one heiress remaining
00:31:22but it's not uncommon for the winner
00:31:24to take mercy on the competitor
00:31:25if they back down
00:31:28how do I know this isn't some trick?
00:31:30to get my guard down
00:31:31you won't

00:31:37why 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 gonna be here this whole time?
00:32:08hurry up I have to go soon

00:32:20alright it's time for my departure
00:32:24oh and
00:32:25don'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
00:32:34I took my father's sword
00:32:38and slashed the boar's head
00:32:40right off
00:32:49it was amazing
00:32:53excuse me your highness

00:32:57Andrew?
00:33:03now that we're alone
00:33:06the real fun can begin
00:33:15don't you think it'd be so much better if we just took this thing right off?
00:33:22kinky
00:33:25I can work with that
00:33:29that better not be your damn footman again
00:33:33well

00:33:36I sure was until you barged in
00:33:39sadly your time is up Juliet
00:33:41not yet
00:33:51don't forget about me
00:33:58good luck following that up
00:34:03I assume it went well
00:34:04if you would have given me ten more minutes
00:34:07we 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
00:34:13why do you care so much about that peasant girl?
00:34:16that's none of your concern
00:34:17but 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 dens in Fair Meadow
00:34:33he could get into some good trouble
00:34:35I 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
00:34:58she's
00:35:00not feeling well
00:35:07why are you here?
00:35:08I had to see the most beautiful woman here in my own two eyes
00:35:11keep your honey tongue
00:35:14it sweetens nothing I desire
00:35:18that's a shame
00:35:21unfortunately for you
00:35:23I have a date with the prince
00:35:24actually
00:35:26you don't
00:35:29he's retired to his room for the evening
00:35:32but fortunately for you
00:35:34I'm here to report back to Prince Theo about your sparkling personality
00:35:39plus
00:35:40I could never let you waste a look as stunning as this
00:35:44you deserve to be seen
00:35:46even if it's just by me
00:35:50shall we?
00:35:58I asked the prince if he knew anything about the Eatons
00:36:01and?
00:36:03did he ignore you completely?
00:36:05no
00:36:05but
00:36:06he did sneak into the governess of study and steal this
00:36:12what is this?
00:36:13it's the governess official log
00:36:16she writes everything down
00:36:18I had a quick look through there, there's some good leads
00:36:22leads?
00:36:23leads on what?
00:36:24I 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
00:36:45actually
00:36:46king Raphael seems so horrible
00:36:48I wouldn't even be surprised
00:36:52you
00:36:53you possess a remarkable capacity for surprise
00:37:26you are making me
00:37:28forget my matters in place
00:37:31that's definitely counting as Friday nights
00:37:32then we better not get caught
00:37:37if you are betraying me
00:37:39I will drive this knife so far into your neck
00:37:42I swear to the cons
00:37:45then I must do what you say
00:37:51go on
00:38:04what are you thinking about?
00:38:07simply longing for a repetition of a particular moment
00:38:11whatever is the obstacle
00:38:15because I uh
00:38:16I need to show you this
00:38:18stack
00:38:20earlier today I found this
00:38:22and I think it would be beneficial if you read it
00:38:25do you think this could be proof of the famine?
00:38:27whatever you do
00:38:28do not let anyone know you have this
00:38:30based on what's inside it could be really dangerous if you're caught with it
00:38:44how's your health?
00:38:45quite well
00:38:47why?
00:38:49the governess
00:38:51she must have been mistaken
00:38:54anyway if my footman happens to be her too
00:38:56can you let him know I need him at his convenience
00:38:59after he escorts you back of course
00:39:03certainly
00:39:09how can you stand to work for him?
00:39:12actually for the whole royal family
00:39:14it's complicated
00:39:16the royal family is incredibly sheltered compared to the rest of the realm
00:39:19cause that's an acceptable excuse
00:39:22well working for them means I am too
00:39:25I never knew what was going on in Shrewsbury till I met you so I doubt the prince knows either
00:39:28plausible deniability
00:39:30he's the prince
00:39:32he can go and see for himself
00:39:33King Raphael would never allow that
00:39:35he lives a life of luxury while his subjects suffer
00:39:38ignorance is a choice
00:39:41more than a circumstance
00:39:45don't tell the prince that
00:39:48I'm not one to refrain from candor
00:39:50I need you to ride to the castle at once
00:39:53King Raphael needs to be informed of my suspicions
00:39:57do not stop
00:39:58this is urgent
00:40:11can I tempt you to stay?
00:40:13I wish
00:40:14I wish
00:40:15but when the prince calls I must answer
00:40:34I'll be dreaming of that
00:40:35I'll be dreaming of that
00:40:47I'll be dreaming of that
00:40:50good morning your highness
00:40:51the rankings are as follows
00:40:54Juliet, Jane, Clementine, and Ellara
00:40:59no
00:40:59no?
00:41:01Ellara Holloway is number one
00:41:03do I need to remind you of your place governess?
00:41:07no your highness
00:41:08it's merely that your father
00:41:11will be disappointed
00:41:27good morning to you all
00:41:30today you will compete in a game that is a favorite amongst the children of the royal family
00:41:37hounds and the crown
00:41:39we need to talk
00:41:41about what?
00:41:42you're fraternizing with the strapping footmen
00:41:44the rules are simple
00:41:47the women, the hounds
00:41:48will hunt one, the crown
00:41:51this is going to be enjoyable
00:41:53not unless the royal hunting you
00:41:55the crown must make it back to her room 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
00:42:15Ellara
00:42:16you currently hold that coveted spot
00:42:20you will be the crown for us today
00:42:34is that any way to greet your father?
00:42:48that's more like it
00:42:50what are you doing here father?
00:42:52i'm not allowed to visit my future heir on his most eligible heiress retreat
00:43:01lighten up my son
00:43:04we'll have a lovely lunch while they all hunt each other
00:43:08and we can catch up on everything that i've missed here
00:43:30ladies
00:43:30you three will stay with me
00:43:32while Ilarra goes to hide.
00:43:34Ilarra, you must survive in the manor
00:43:38for one hour before finding safety in your room.
00:43:42There will be guards blocking there.
00:43:44Do you understand?
00:43:46We also have spectators today.
00:43:50Before the match, the king has asked to see the hunted.
00:43:59Yes, governess.
00:44:03Ah, the woman of the hour.
00:44:07Join us.
00:44:09Please, seat.
00:44:12Welcome, my dear.
00:44:14I must extend congratulations to you
00:44:16on earning first place.
00:44:20I hear my son has handpicked you.
00:44:24I would love to learn how you've beaten all of the odds
00:44:27to end up at this moment here.
00:44:32You've got quite the battle ahead of you.
00:44:34The crown almost never escapes the hounds.
00:44:38Your majesty, I only hope to make both my county
00:44:42and this kingdom proud.
00:44:45And how do you plan on doing that?
00:44:52Well, by becoming the most eligible heiress, naturally.
00:44:59We'll see, dear.
00:45:01But first, I must ask, Holloway.
00:45:06Such an interesting surname.
00:45:10I don't think I've seen that one before.
00:45:13I come from quite a common family.
00:45:16Nothing special in Shrewsbury.
00:45:22How very interesting.
00:45:25Well, thank you for sharing your company with us.
00:45:28Good luck to you in the games.
00:45:34Good luck to you in the game, Thomas.
00:45:37Excuse me.
00:45:44For what?
00:45:45I did nothing.
00:45:45For standing up to him.
00:45:47No one does that.
00:45:49Look, if you can make it to the hall,
00:45:52there's a secret entrance to my quarters
00:45:54to the left of the painting.
00:45:55From there, you can get to your room easier
00:45:56than navigating the whole quarters.
00:46:02Good luck.
00:46:02I'll be waiting.
00:46:07Everything is ready, your majesty.
00:46:09I enjoy her.
00:46:14Such a shame.
00:46:16There's two staircases.
00:46:18I will take the east,
00:46:20and Jane, you'll take the west.
00:46:22And if she stays hidden below?
00:46:23Then she'll be trapped down there
00:46:25and be forced to make a run
00:46:26right towards us.
00:46:30You will remain in the front
00:46:33in case she tries anything.
00:46:36Take a shot if you spot her
00:46:39and call out.
00:46:40We have favor in our numbers.
00:46:43Let us not forget.
00:46:50I wonder if she's found a good hiding spot.
00:46:53Father, why don't you like her?
00:46:56Son, you're still young,
00:46:58but you must understand.
00:47:01Shrewsbury is the reason
00:47:02for the Great Famine.
00:47:03That was a hundred years ago.
00:47:06Must they still be punished?
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:08There are larger things at play here, son.
00:47:10Do not question me.
00:47:11Isn't the point that I choose
00:47:12whom I want to marry, father?
00:47:18Maid once told me the same.
00:47:20She wasn't wrong, though, was she?
00:47:23She was very wrong.
00:47:25This competition isn't about love.
00:47:29It's about maintaining power.
00:47:42Jane.
00:47:47A word of counsel.
00:48:13I thought we had an alliance.
00:48:14We do, but we have to sell it.
00:48:21Are you going to tell them
00:48:22about the footman?
00:48:23No, why would I?
00:48:24To get rid of me?
00:48:25To get me killed?
00:48:25I'm not Juliet.
00:48:27We're allies.
00:48:28I would never do that.
00:48:30Also, I sort of support you
00:48:31having a little bit of fun
00:48:32before you win this whole thing
00:48:34and get locked into a loveless marriage.
00:48:38There's another thing
00:48:39I should tell you.
00:48:41I also made a deal with Juliet.
00:48:43What?
00:48:44There's a deal with everyone but me?
00:48:48You hurt my feelings.
00:48:50Clementine.
00:48:51Go distract Juliet.
00:48:53Be safe.
00:49:00I can't wait to kill you
00:49:01and then win and go home
00:49:03and show all those rich nobles
00:49:04they never should have snubbed
00:49:06the future queen.
00:49:19It's such an easy kill.
00:49:22I almost thought you could actually...
00:49:34So much blood on your hands.
00:49:43The hour is almost over.
00:49:45Have you seen her?
00:49:47No, I haven't.
00:50:06You're lying to me.
00:50:08Are you really going to injure
00:50:09your only ally?
00:50:10Tell me what happened to Jane.
00:50:12She found Alara
00:50:13in the servants' quarters.
00:50:15Good girl.
00:50:23Why did he help me?
00:50:33Come forth.
00:50:34Come forth.
00:50:37Wherever you may be.
00:50:42Good.
00:50:44The game has commenced.
00:50:47What does the last name
00:50:48Eaton mean?
00:50:50Never utter that name again.
00:50:54Do you hear me?
00:50:55I hear you, father.
00:50:58Good.
00:51:01Then we shall go
00:51:02to the young ladies' quarters.
00:51:04I sense an end coming.
00:51:11There you are.
00:51:13I found you.
00:51:17I can't wait to kill you.
00:51:19You say that so confidently.
00:51:21Because I will.
00:51:22I've been training my whole life for this.
00:51:26I've been promised Prince Theo since birth.
00:51:30This competition is mine to win.
00:51:32No wonder you're so miserable.
00:51:34You spent your whole life for what?
00:51:37A prince?
00:51:39A prince who will never love you?
00:51:41You're here just like I am.
00:51:42What's the difference?
00:51:47I'm not here for myself.
00:51:55What are you doing?
00:51:56Run!
00:51:57It's not for you.
00:51:59It's not for you.
00:52:11Ilara!
00:52:15Ilara!
00:52:18What an exhilarating day.
00:52:21It is a rare occasion
00:52:23when three contestants
00:52:25endure to the end.
00:52:28The masquerade falls on the morrow.
00:52:31Make ready in your room.
00:52:32The door will be locked
00:52:33for your own protection.
00:52:36Sleep well.
00:52:38And may your dreams be kind.
00:52:50Have a great day.
00:52:54Bye.
00:52:55Bye.
00:52:59Bye.
00:53:04Bye.
00:53:06Bye.
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 gonna lose you.
00:54:06It takes more than that to kill me.
00:54:09I hope so.
00:54:38I hope so.
00:54:41Okay.
00:54:52Let's go.
00:55:14I hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:55:16Well, that would just be impossible.
00:55:17I think it's time for us to discuss your future.
00:55:20Whatever do you mean?
00:55:23You think I don't know the rumors?
00:55:25The old wives' tale that talks of one of the Eton princesses surviving and hiding out safely in Shrewsbury all
00:55:34these years.
00:55:35I'm afraid I just don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:37Yet all the books on Eton dust-free in library.
00:55:43I shall put it thus.
00:55:45Whatever happens on the morrow, I pray no tragedy finds its way to your home.
00:55:52Your poor mother is fragile, is she not?
00:55:56Don't.
00:55:57And your young sister, no 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.
00:56:53Of course.
00:56:55Please promise me.
00:56:56I promise, yeah.
00:56:59Weaver.
00:57:01Wait.
00:57:02Why is her last name different to yours?
00:57:06I need to tell you something.
00:57:20For you.
00:57:22For tonight.
00:57:24Stay safe.
00:57:26Prince Theo.
00:57:40Presenting your majesty, King Raphael, ruler of Vindalaris.
00:57:45Also in attendance, Prince Theo, heir to the Vindalaris throne.
00:57:54Welcome, my subjects.
00:57:57Thank you so much for coming to celebrate the end of the most eligible heiress.
00:58:03Without further ado, I'd love to introduce you to the three finalists.
00:58:09First, we have Miss Clementine Parker of Fairmeadow.
00:58:18Next, the beauty of Emberhelm 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 take your weapons.
00:59:08It's time for the final task.
00:59:11The three of you must choose one to kill.
00:59:42You must choose one to kill.
00:59:45Ah!
01:00:06Well done, ladies.
01:00:08What a show.
01:00:11Now, there can be only one.
01:00:16Fight.
01:00:19No!
01:00:20No, 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.
01:00:31I can't.
01:00:34I won't.
01:00:35I won't.
01:00:41I'm so sorry, Clementine.
01:00:45Kill her!
01:00:51That was for my brother!
01:00:55For my sister!
01:00:58For Shrewsbury!
01:01:01For me!
01:01:03For me!
01:01:03For 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.
01:01:59Son, 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!
01:02:13I should let you, I know I deserve it.
01:02:16But please listen, I am not the enemy.
01:02:30Andrew?
01:02:33What'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 and I will continue to choose you every single time.
01:03:07But 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.
01:03:30I 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 am 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?
01:04:05I will kill him before he kills you.
01:04:07I will kill him before he kills you.
01:04:10I will kill him before he kills you.
01:04:20Is your name even Andrew?
01:04:22Maeve called me by my middle name.
01:04:26And I would be honored if you 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.
01:05:07He will get revenge.
01:05:09He will die.
01:05:10And 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.
01:05:45Firstly, 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 way!
01:06:28No!
01:06:30Stop, Miss Weaver.
01:06:32Unless you'd like me to execute your sister here and now.
01:06:34No!
01:06:40Seize them all!
01:06:41No!
01:06:41No!
01:06:43No!
01:06:43No!
01:06:43No!
01:06:44No!
01:06:44No!
01:06:44We have to go now!
01:06:46I want a Laura Weaver's hand!
01:06:49And I want it now!
01:06:50No!
01:06:51No!
