Short filmTranscript
00:00:04A hundred years passed. The realm was undone by its own celebration. At the
00:00:12wedding feast of Princess Rosalie and Lord Varden Hawthorne, the fields of
00:00:17Shrewsbury gave forth their first poisoned harvest and the royal table was
00:00:23its victim. All who supped that night perished save one, Prince Varden, who was
00:00:31too anxious to eat. By dawn he was king. The blight spread swiftly through all the
00:00:39shires except Vindishur whose walls held firm and whose grain endured. Thus the
00:00:47new king made Vindishur the seat of power but gave back to the blighted counties
00:00:53a competition soaked in blood. We honor that competition with the legacy of the
00:01:03most eligible heiress. What an exhilarating day for us all. Truly this is what the
00:01:14most eligible heiress is meant to celebrate. The pursuit of love. But most
00:01:21importantly, to root out the traitors and threats to the realm. Concurrent to the
00:01:28wedding, we will commence on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
00:01:35What? What? Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
00:01:44Shall we unveil our nominee?
00:01:57Hilara, you shouldn't! Why haven't you confirmed that I am the nominee?
00:01:59While I understand why... No! You don't. Perhaps. But there's more to account for than your wants. We are in
00:02:09a 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 can... That is not the issue!
00:02:21If they find out your true family name, they'll kill you. But I...
00:02:27They'll break the competition. You will die. And the county will be left with nothing!
00:02:31No. They cannot possibly do that again. I 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, 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. I'm certain those last letters were meaningful.
00:03:22Mother, are you awake?
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. I know, Mother.
00:03:49I'm going to do that now.
00:03:51Never forget.
00:03:52I won't.
00:03:54I won't.
00:03:55I won't, Mother.
00:03:58Are you actually leaving us?
00:04:07Elowen, I have to do this.
00:04:10What if you...
00:04:10I won't.
00:04:12He taught me everything I know.
00:04:15I promise to win.
00:04:19Everett promised me the same thing.
00:04:22I know.
00:04:23You promised me to.
00:04:26Here.
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.
00:04:56Hey, Laura.
00:04:58Your Majesty, I must offer my condolences for Princess May for tragedy.
00:05:02There is always trouble in our time.
00:05:05How goes the manor preparations?
00:05:08I 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.
00:05:30By reports, she's deeply adept with the sword and 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 Miobi.
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.
00:06:34Ilara 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?
00:07:57Too slow.
00:08:07If you're ever in the woods had a loss,
00:08:08always remember to find the moss.
00:08:33Lovely hairpin.
00:08:35There's a pit trap.
00:08:36Out that way.
00:08:48The gold is very becoming, your highness.
00:08:52Great choice.
00:08:56It is customary for you to welcome the ladies who survived the first task to the manor.
00:09:06But your highness, it is the tradition of-
00:09:09Are you instructing the future heir on how to behave?
00:09:13No, your highness.
00:09:14I would never overstep my bounds.
00:09:17That is all for now.
00:09:26Bet 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.
00:09:52This 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.
00:10:03And I'm the most eligible heiress.
00:10:04Now.
00:10:06If you'll excuse me.
00:10:10Quick.
00:10:12She should be close.
00:10:15You're welcome.
00:10:16Again.
00:10:21Over there.
00:10:22You're first.
00:10:24Which will certainly impress the prince.
00:10:31I am in your debt.
00:10:50Hey, Laura Holloway of Shrewsbury.
00:10:53Allow me to offer my congratulations on your most
00:10:58unexpected 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.
00:11:15I had every expectation of brilliance,
00:11:17but your brother does cast a long shadow.
00:11:35Miss Matsut.
00:11:37Miss Matsut.
00:11:38What a mercy.
00:11:39You have escaped the woods appetite.
00:11:41I-
00:11:42My compliments to you all.
00:11:44on your safe arrival ordinarily we have at least one soul who fails to find their
00:11:50way out of the woods we are blessed with uncommon talent Shrewsbury has claimed
00:11:58first arrival by right of the rules the finest room in the manor shall be hers
00:12:05fortune does favor the Swift where's Prince Theo all in due time dear Juliet
00:12:15regrettably as last to arrive you must accept the handicap that accompanies such
00:12:23tardiness let this be your last failing bind the wound tightly
00:12:44only one of you will be the most eligible heiress the victory is within your control
00:12:53tomorrow will be a spirited contest of arms advance and you shall face a battle of wits and if you're
00:13:03lucky enough to get to the third task well that is often the king's favorite one last thing
00:13:11there will be no fraternizing with the servants they are here to work if 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 except you stay here I will return in due course
00:13:50I'd be happy to escort you to your room you know I'd be happy to escort you to your room
00:13:56I should probably wait for the grim governess to return yeah I don't think she's coming back she seems
00:14:04mad that you won perhaps you shouldn't have underestimated me then don't worry I'm not
00:14:20does this count as fraternizing with the help I'm merely helping you get to your room
00:14:37you're 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 for her
00:15:05I recently lost my sister
00:15:08losing a sibling is really hard
00:15:15you'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
00:15:57I don't want to see you in this
00:16:31I've got to be
00:16:38one of thieves must
00:16:43yes
00:16:50your highness
00:16:51the ladies were most impressive today
00:16:54though they did inquire about your whereabouts
00:16:59and
00:16:59tradition dictates
00:17:01I'm the heir to the throne
00:17:03I will act in the way of my choosing
00:17:05as is your god-given right
00:17:08is that the whole of it
00:17:10I'm growing tired of this conversation
00:17:12if I may
00:17:13the circumstances of tomorrow's games are such that it would be most respectful
00:17:19to have you in attendance
00:17:21then so be it
00:17:27you don't need to be here
00:17:29I'll let her stay
00:17:31fine
00:17:31when you get to the manor
00:17:33you must try to get into the library alone
00:17:36you must try to find
00:17:38a book
00:17:39about the Eton family
00:17:41or written by a family member

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?
00:18:53shouldn'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
00:18:59I 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

00:23:50the truth

00:34:12your end of the deal

00:34:14about that peasant girl

00:34:17but
00:34:17I have told the others
00:34:19that whoever takes
00:34:20Alara out first
00:34:21will be given a huge advantage
00:34:23going forward
00:34:25I'm up for a challenge
00:34:30you should try sneaking
00:34:31to the gambling dens
00:34:32in Fairmeadow
00:34:33he could get into
00:34:34some good trouble
00:34:35I do enjoy a bit of mischief
00:34:42Miss Parker
00:34:43your 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
00:35:10with 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
00:35:30for the evening
00:35:32but fortunately for you
00:35:34I'm here to report back to prince Theo
00:35:36about your sparkling personality
00:35:39plus
00:35:40I could never let you waste
00:35:41a 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
00:35:59if he knew anything
00:36:00about the Eatons
00:36:01and
00:36:02did he ignore you completely
00:36:04no
00:36:05but
00:36:07he did sneak into the governess of study
00:36:09and 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
00:36:20there's some good leads
00:36:22leads
00:36:22leads 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
00:36:53you possess a remarkable capacity for surprise
00:37:25I don't think
00:37:26You are making me forget my matters in place.
00:37:31That's definitely counting as Friday night.
00:37:33Then we better not get caught.
00:37:37If you are betraying me, I will drive this knife so far into your neck.
00:37:42I swear to God.
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.
00:38:10Whatever is the obstacle?
00:38:14Because I need to show you this stack.
00:38:20Earlier today I found this and 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, do not let anyone know you have this.
00:38:31Based 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, she must have been mistaken.
00:38:54Anyway, if my footman happens to be her 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?
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.
00:39:19Because 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 until 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.
00:39:34King 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.
00:39:51I need you to ride to the castle at once.
00:39:54King 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.
00:40:15But when the prince calls, I must answer.
00:40:34I'll be dreaming of that.
00:40:50Good morning, your highness.
00:40:52The rankings are as follows.
00:40:54Juliet, Jane, Clementine, and Ellara.
00:40:59No.
00:41:00No?
00:41:01Ellara Holloway is number one.
00:41:03Do I need to remind you of your place, governess?
00:41:07No, your highness.
00:41:09It's merely that your father will be disappointed.
00:41:28Good morning to you all.
00:41:30Today, you will compete in a game that is a favorite amongst the children of the royal family.
00:41:38Hounds and the crown.
00:41:40We need to talk about what?
00:41:42You're fraternizing with the strapping footmen?
00:41:45The rules are simple.
00:41:47Three women, the hounds, will hunt one, the crown.
00:41:51This is going to be enjoyable.
00:41:53Not unless we're all hunting you.
00:41:56The crown must make it back to her room safely.
00:42:00The 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.
00:42:16Ellara, you currently hold that coveted spot.
00:42:20You will be the crown for us today.
00:42:35Is that any way to greet your father?
00:42:49That's more like it.
00:42:51What 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, you three will stay with me while Ellara goes to hide.
00:43:34Ellara.
00:43:35Ellara, you must survive in the manor for 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 on earning first place.
00:44:20I hear my son has hand-picked you.
00:44:24I would love to learn how you've beaten all of the odds to 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 and this kingdom proud.
00:44:45And how do you plan on doing that?
00:44:49And how do you plan on doing that?
00:44:52Well, by becoming the most eligible heiress, naturally.
00:44:59We'll see, dear.
00:45:02But first, I must ask.
00:45:04Holloway.
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.
00:45:19Hmm.
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.
00:45:37Excuse me.
00:45:44For what? I did nothing.
00:45:46For standing up to him.
00:45:47No one does that.
00:45:50If you can make it to the hall, there's a secret entrance to my quarters to the left of the
00:45:54painting.
00:45:55From there, you can get to your room easier than navigating the whole quarters.
00:46:02Good luck. I'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, and Jane, you'll take the west.
00:46:22And if she stays hidden below?
00:46:23Then she'll be trapped down there and be forced to make a run right towards us.
00:46:30You will remain in the front, in case she tries anything.
00:46:35Take a shot if you spot her and 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?
00:46:55Son, you're still young, but you must understand.
00:47:00Shrewsbury is the reason for the great famine.
00:47:03That was a hundred years ago.
00:47:06Must they still be punished?
00:47:07Yes, there are larger things at play here, son.
00:47:10Do not question me.
00:47:11Isn't the point that I choose whom I want to marry, father?
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.
00:47:29It's about maintaining power.
00:47:42Jane.
00:47:47A word of counsel.
00:47:50Jane.
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 about the footman?
00:48:23No, why would I?
00:48:24To get rid of me?
00:48:25To get me killed?
00:48:26I'm not Juliet.
00:48:27We're allies.
00:48:28I would never do that.
00:48:30Also, I sort of support you having 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 I 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.
00:48:56Be 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 the future queen.
00:49:19Such 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?
00:49:46No, I haven't.
00:50:06You're lying to me.
00:50:08Are you really going to injure your only ally?
00:50:10Tell me what happened to Jane.
00:50:12She found Allara in the servants' quarters.
00:50:15Good girl.
00:50:23Why did he help me?
00:50:33Come forth.
00:50:35Come forth.
00:50:37Wherever you may be.
00:50:42Good.
00:50:44The game has commenced.
00:50:47What does the last name Eaton 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 to 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.
00:52:10Elara!
00:52:26Elara!
00:52:28The masquerade falls on the morrow.
00:52:30Make ready in your room.
00:52:32The door will be locked for your own protection.
00:52:36Sleep well.
00:52:38And may your dreams be kind.
00:52:48Elara!
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.
00:53:52Where 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.
00:54:11I hope so.
00:54:23I hope so.
00:54:38I don't know.
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.
00:55:38Yet 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?
00:55:57Don't.
00:55:57And your young sister now telling how she might react to such an event, grief can drive a person to
00:56:05dreadful 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.
00:57:25Prince 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.
00:57:56Thank 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.
00:58:10First, we have Miss Clementine Parker of Fairmeadow.
00:58:18Next, the beauty of Amberhelm and frontrunner, Miss Juliette Ashford.
00:58:28And 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.
01:00:05Well done, ladies.
01:00:08What a show.
01:00:10Now.
01:00:12There 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.
01:00:33I...
01:00:33No, I won't.
01:00:35I won't.
01:00:41I'm so sorry, Clementine.
01:00:44Kill her!
01:00:46Oh, huh.
01:00:50That was for my brother!
01:00:54For my sister!
01:00:58For Shrewsbury!
01:01:01For me!
01:01:03For me!
01:01:05For me!
01:01:05For me!
01:01:15For me!
01:01:18For me!
01:01:21This whole competition is for me to choose who and what I won.
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!
01:02:14I 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?
01:02:35Please, 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 with each conversation we had I fell more and more in
01:02:57love 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.
01:03:08But 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?
01:03:18My 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.
01:04:20Is your name even Andrew?
01:04:23Maeve called me by my middle name.
01:04:26And I'd be honored if you called me Andrew too.
01:04:32Not wasting any time then, son.
01:04:38Well 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.
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?
01:06:10Excitingly, 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! No! No!
01:06:30Stop, Miss Weaver!
01:06:32Unless you'd like me to execute your sister here and now.
01:06:34No! No!
01:06:40Seize them all!
01:06:43We have to go now!
01:06:46I want a Lara Weaver's hand, and I want it now!
