Short filmTranscript
00:09Seven years after his death, my husband came back to life at Flamekeep's Spring Feast.
00:30If it weren't for her, how could Leora have committed suicide after marrying my brother?
00:33She should feel ashamed and beg for our forgiveness.
00:36If not, I will not go back.
00:38He'd been living easy all these years.
00:39He had no notion that his desertion had long since been laid bare, nor that White Flamekeep had passed to
00:44another hand.
00:45The day he faked his death and fled to the neighboring kingdom, he thought it was nothing.
00:50He thought Torrin would answer for him.
00:52But on that same day, the Iron Cavalry of Sarn smashed the gates of White Flamekeep.
00:56In a single night, he was branded a traitor and a deserter.
01:00The city was put to the sword.
01:02Nearly all were butchered, including my parents.
01:04There was not even enough left of them for a proper burial.
01:08Had Lord Roderick Harwin not descended from the sky on Dragonback, I would not be standing here now.
01:13And Torrin, the old Lord of White Flamekeep, the father Edren kept talking about.
01:17On the day Lord Harwin pulled him from the ruins, he confessed his son's treason and threw himself into the
01:23flames.
01:24As for me, I survived.
01:26But I had remarried a long time ago.
01:28Now, Darren was still jeering, playing to the crowd.
01:32By the gods, that's cold.
01:34Your Lyre was a beauty.
01:36Were you not afraid she would run off with another?
01:41Run off?
01:42She was eight months pregnant.
01:44What man of honor would have her?
01:46And she was crazy about me.
01:47She was likely clutching my air to her breast every night, praying for my return.
01:52She would never have left.
01:53Given how hard Lyre was obsessed with you, she spent all these years hiding like a rat and will die
01:58alone still whispering your name.
02:01Honestly, she brought it on herself.
02:02Shameless, the way she begged for the marriage.
02:05No wonder she found herself a widow so young.
02:07I wager she's wasting away in her grief.
02:09If she saw you now, she'd probably lose her mind.
02:12He didn't object to a single word.
02:15I only slept with her once, and she got pregnant.
02:18What does that make her, huh?
02:19Sounds like a whore to me.
02:20Several men exchanged lewd grins.
02:22I locked my eyes on Edrin's face, and a coal fire began to burn in my veins.
02:26Seven years ago, he abandoned us all.
02:29Old Torrin was forced to drag his alien body into a suit of rusted armor and ride out to meet
02:33Galore.
02:34Mira and I were left behind in the war camp, huddled together, counting the last of our meager supplies.
02:39And there was nothing we could do.
02:45Torrin's forces were broken, again and again.
02:48From the rear, we heard the news from the front.
02:51Each report worse than the last.
02:52I heard my parents had been slain.
02:55I heard my family's rock, gathered over generations, had been looted.
02:59On the distant ridgelines, the warning beacons were lit.
03:02One after another.
03:03Until he came.
03:05Down from the clouds, through the smoke and ash, on the back of the dragon.
03:09Lord Roderick Holland.
03:11The dragon lord, master of the scarlet and dragons,
03:13keeper of the iron flame throne, ruler of the scarlet sun kingdom,
03:17lord of flame keep and the dragon's pine sea.
03:19He buried the truth of Edrin's treason.
03:21In return, I was wed to him.
03:23The keeper of the iron flame throne held too much power for anyone to question him.
03:27The official story was that Torrin and Mira Caspwood had died of a sudden sickness.
03:31It was a lie that preserved what little honor their name had left.
03:34Then someone in the crowd spotted me.
03:36His face lit up.
03:38He slapped Edrin on the arm and pointed straight in my direction.
03:45Laya?
03:45What are you doing here?
03:46Damn, Aedlin.
03:47You're barely back from the grave and she's already tracked you down.
03:50Someone's desperate.
03:51Have you no shame?
03:52This feast is Lady Harwood's.
03:54Were you even summoned?
03:55Do not disgrace me before the guards drag you out.
03:57The dragon lord is insanely protective of his wife.
04:00Lady Harwood doesn't like seeing people, so he keeps her completely hidden away.
04:02No one's ever seen her face.
04:04This is the first feast she's ever hosted.
04:06We all came tonight hoping for a glimpse of her.
04:08So, Laya, I know you missed Edrin, but try not to ruin the feast for the rest of us.
04:13You just crawled out of your grave, Sir Caitlid.
04:16Worry about yourself.
04:18White flame coal is not as you remember it.
04:21Back then, Torrin sent him to the war hoping he'd earn some glory.
04:24I remember my belly was so swollen it was hard to walk, but I stood with him at the gates,
04:29terrified, begging him to stay safe.
04:31The only news we received was that he'd faked his death and fled the battlefield.
04:35I was eight months pregnant, hauling arrows and tending to the wounded in the rear camp.
04:39But the enemy broke and the other was faster than anyone feared.
04:43Boys, a fat-bellied one.
04:45Any of you had the taste?
04:46One of them kicked me hard.
04:48I hit the ground.
04:49Blood poured down my legs.
04:52You don't have to make up such pathetic lies to lure me back.
04:56If loneliness has made you so desperate, beg me sweetly enough and I may grant you one night in my
05:00bed.
05:01He saw the flicker of pain in my eyes and thought he'd hit the mark.
05:05He looked proud of himself.
05:07Why, Laya?
05:09Is that you?
05:10You poor thing.
05:12Having to look after White Flame Ward all these years.
05:16Aedlin, that is cruel.
05:17You have spent so long tending to us that poor Laya has been left to grieve alone.
05:22It was Leora Fane.
05:23She hid behind the lie that died of heartbreak and gone away with Edrin.
05:26To live as man and wife in some other place.
05:29And Edrin, who knew the whole thing was a lie, I remember.
05:32He once forced me to stand outside in the freezing cold all night as penance for Leora.
05:36My nails dug into my palms as I stared at the two of them.
05:39After Leora's tragedy, a healer managed to save her.
05:42Turns out she was already pregnant.
05:43She's been recovering in seclusion all these years.
05:45It hasn't been easy for her.
05:46A widow with a child.
05:47I couldn't just abandon them, so I decided to marry her.
05:49Make her my wife.
05:50Her son will inherit the title of White Flame Keep.
05:52It's the least I can do to honor my brother's memory.
05:54You will return and make the keep ready.
05:56And if I hear so much as a whisper against her, you will answer for it.
05:59I had never heard such shamelessness uttered aloud.
06:01That boy was obviously his.
06:03His and Leora's.
06:05Whom you wed is no concern of mine, Sir Castlewood.
06:08I was wed again long ago.
06:12Remarried?
06:13You think I give a damn?
06:14I didn't come back for a woman like you.
06:16I heard the dragon egg at White Flame Keep hatched.
06:18The ice dragon egg my family has guarded for generations.
06:20I, Adian of House Castwood, shall mount the ice dragon and rule as king.
06:23And that dragon is my blood right.
06:25Don't you come crying back to me when it happens.
06:27Of course!
06:28No wonder you came back now, Adrian.
06:30You're about to become a dragon lord.
06:31Even Lord Harwin will have to bow to you then, won't he?
06:34Already picturing himself on the back of a great ice dragon.
06:37And all I could think was, he has no idea that dragon hatched seven years ago.
06:41It hatched on the night White Flame Keep was slaughtered.
06:43It hatched while the Sarn Riders were smelling over me.
06:46After my blood soaked into the dirt.
06:48My blood fell upon the ancient shell, already split with cracks.
06:51Then it broke.
06:52A little dragon, blew as winter ice.
06:55And you, the nerve you have, saying things like that.
07:00If I remember correctly, you were eight months pregnant.
07:02What man of rank would take a woman swollen with another man's bastard?
07:05Or do you have to go crawling to some lowborn merchant?
07:08Right.
07:08You are common trash, after all.
07:10The men are having to laugh again.
07:12Mother, when is father coming back?
07:14These people are so loud.
07:16You want me back that badly?
07:18You even brought the child with you?
07:23This child!
07:25She should be seven by now, should she not?
07:27Why is she so slight?
07:30Liar, even if you're angry with Adrien, you can't take it out on the child.
07:34That's just cruel.
07:35Just then, her son came charging back.
07:38He saw the unique dragon scale pendant around Alia's neck.
07:41Give me that!
07:43Mom said you and everything this woman has belongs to me.
07:48Give it back!
07:51It's my birthday present!
07:53It's not yours!
07:54It all happened so fast.
07:56I didn't have time to think.
07:58I just shoved the boy back and scooped Alia into my arms.
08:01The boy fell on his back and let out a piercing, theatrical shriek.
08:07You dare lay a hand on a child?
08:11You're a bitch who belongs in the slums or a brothel!
08:17I've known Adrien since we were children.
08:19When other kids would corner me and bully me, he was the one who fought for me.
08:23He'd get his face bruised and bloodied, but he would always stand stubbornly in front of me.
08:27Back then, I thought he would protect me forever and that I would love and cherish him forever.
08:32But now, in front of this whole crowd, for another woman, he had just humiliated me without a second thought
08:38for my dignity.
08:39He reeled from the slap, his rage about to explode.
08:43But when he saw my red-rimmed eyes, he faltered for a second.
08:46For the briefest instant, he looked almost ashamed.
08:49Leora seized the moment.
08:51She clutched her son to her chest and let out a choked sob.
08:54It seems Leora doesn't want us to come back.
08:57I always knew Meera preferred her.
08:59But now that I'm a widow, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised I'm not welcome.
09:03Maybe we should just leave.
09:07I left you in charge.
09:09To see to my parents and the running of the keep.
09:11How dare you waste the keep's money on useless things like this!
09:15His eyes fell on the dragon scale pendant around Alia's neck.
09:18Wait!
09:19Where did you get that dragon scale?
09:21That's a scale from my family's ice dragon!
09:24That scale is mine by blood!
09:26Mine!
09:27You have the nerve to scavenge it and wear it?
09:29That belongs to me!
09:30You've been squatting in White Flame Keep all these years.
09:34You probably never even got to touch the egg, did you?
09:37Now the dragon has hatched, and that scale is mine!
09:41You're a commoner's daughter.
09:43By what right do you touch it?
09:44I couldn't even be bothered to answer him.
09:46I turned to a handmaiden who had just rushed over.
09:50Get the healer.
09:53Being ignored sent Edrin over the edge.
09:55He grabbed my arm.
09:57It's a little scratch.
09:59And you're gonna bother Lord Harwin's people over that?
10:04I left you!
10:05Liar, what the hell is wrong with you?
10:07Have seven years alone surely made you so bitter?
10:10Are you just lonely, is that it?
10:12Blaming me because you've had no one?
10:14Ask pardon as you ought, and I may yet come to your bed tonight.
10:18I have told you I am remarried.
10:21You need to start worrying about yourself.
10:26Fine, be stubborn.
10:28I'll be waiting for the day you come begging me to take you back!
10:31After the healer had cleaned and dressed Alia's cheek, a deep wave of exhaustion washed over me.
10:35I used to wonder, for a long time, if Edrin had a reason.
10:39Some secret hardship that made him abandon his wife, his unborn child, and his home for seven years.
10:45I remember the night before Mira walked into the throne room and took her own life.
10:49I never should have gone to your father's house with Torrid.
10:52I never should have promised you, on that monster's behalf, that he would be good to you.
10:58We did this.
11:00We ruined you!
11:03Mira had always been so full of life, a woman who refused to grow old.
11:08From the day I married Edrin, she treated me like her own daughter.
11:11But in one single night, the weight of it all had broken her.
11:14Liar.
11:16White Flame Keep has failed you.
11:18If that animal ever comes back, I give you my blessing to kill him yourself.
11:23Now you go find a good man.
11:25And don't you dare grieve for us.
11:28In the seven years since I married Roderick Harwin, I've rarely left the castle.
11:32This was the day the stranger took Mira.
11:34I hosted this feast to tell the spirit of the old woman who loved me like a daughter that I
11:37was okay.
11:38That I had finally moved on.
11:41I took a breath, composed myself, and walked back to the great hall.
11:46Edrin and Leora were sitting together, acting for all the world like a happy couple.
11:50I walked right past their table without even a glance.
11:55But as I passed, the boot caught my gun.
12:00I remember her.
12:01That's Adrian Casford's wife.
12:03The one who's been lonely for seven years.
12:06Is she doing this to get his attention?
12:07How shameless.
12:09Is she crazy?
12:09Making a scene at a feast by Lady Harwin?
12:12Liar!
12:13How could you?
12:15I know you're upset with Adrin, but you can't act like this at Lady Harwin's feast.
12:20Are you trying to make Lord Harwin angry with Adrin on purpose?
12:24Adrin's expression turned lethal.
12:26Liar, so you are here to cause trouble.
12:28Seven years, and you still haven't learned a thing?
12:38The fault is mine.
12:41I should have kept this bitch in hand.
12:44She's disturbed all of you.
12:46I'll make her apologize.
12:49I'm saving you, Liar.
12:51If you make Lady Harwin angry, you're dead.
12:54Lord Harwin doesn't have a good temper.
12:56I heard the last person who pissed him off was cut over 300 times before he was about to die.
13:03I am Lady Harwin.
13:05Take your foot off me, Adrin Casford, or this day will be your last.
13:09The hall fell silent for a single.
13:11Then it erupted in a roar of laughter.
13:18Liar, you'd even dare to tell a lie like that?
13:20Take a look at yourself.
13:22And you think a creature such as you could pass herself off as Lady Harwin?
13:26Alia came running back into the hall.
13:28She saw me pinned to the ground and charged at him like a furious little animal.
13:32Mother!
13:36You little brat.
13:37No manners at all.
13:39When I get back, I will have you and your mother thrown out onto the ice field for three days.
13:45My father will not suffer this.
13:48Adrin was losing his patience.
13:49He opened his mouth to say something else.
13:52But just then, a huge commotion started outside.
13:55Then came a roar like a stormwind.
13:57So fierce it seemed to shake the very stones.
13:59The dragon lord was back.
14:05As everyone stretched their necks.
14:08Does that mean we'll finally get to see Lady Harwin?
14:10The dragon lord adores his wife.
14:12If he finds out someone dared to impersonate her, he'll probably torture this woman to death.
14:16As they snickered, a world-shattering dragon's cry split the sky.
14:21A massive shadow swept over the grounds.
14:23A colossal dragon dove from the clouds.
14:31The dragon lord, the keeper of the iron flame throne.
14:35He had returned.
14:37Father, you're finally back.
14:41You little bastard.
14:43Daring to impersonate Lord Harwin's daughter?
14:45You're just as low as your mother.
14:47This is the finest silk imported from myrrh.
14:49You and your mother are not fit to touch clothes so fine.
14:52We can't have them making a scene here.
14:53It'll ruin the mood for Lord Harwin and his lady.
14:55Let's get them out of sight.
14:56I'll deal with them after I've properly met Lady Harwin.
14:58We cannot have such filth before Lady Harwin's eyes.
15:01While Roderick was still on the far side of the hall,
15:03Edwin gagged me and started dragging me away in the opposite direction.
15:07He was dragging me into the thick bushes at the edge of these grounds.
15:11I had no idea where he'd taken Alia.
15:13I struggled, trying to get up, but he just kicked my back, pinning me down.
15:17I picked this special place for you.
15:19Maybe it'll help you wake up and stop dreaming.
15:22You stay here and wait for Lady Harwin to deal with you properly.
15:28Every-
15:28He straightened up, brushing the dust from his clothes.
15:31He was about to leave, but his eyes were drawn to the colossal beast at the edge of the grounds,
15:35Dot.
15:36He stared at the dragon, and I could see him imagining his own ice dragon there instead,
15:41with everyone in the kingdom bowing and scraping before him, Dot.
15:47A slow, arrogant smile spread across his face, Dot.
15:52Just wait.
15:53When I get back, all of Flametuck will kneel to House Castwood,
15:56and then this dragon lord, this iron flame throne.
16:00They will all make way for me.
16:02By the time he got there, Roderick Harwin was already seated.
16:05The man's gaze swept coolly over the crowd.
16:08Where are my lady and my daughter?
16:09Sweat beaded on the steward's forehead.
16:11Lady Harwin said she did not wish to have her identity known, my lord.
16:14She instructed us not to follow.
16:16I'll send men to find her at once.
16:20Lord Harwin!
16:22It's an honor to finally meet you.
16:23Isn't Lady Harwin with you?
16:25Roderick gave him a cold, indifferent glance.
16:29It's me, my lord.
16:30Adrian Castwood of White Flame Keep.
16:32I've only just recently returned.
16:34I heard Lady Harwin was hosting a feast, and I came especially to pay her my respects.
16:39You would pay her honor?
16:41You aren't fit to speak her name.
16:47White Flame Keep.
16:49That place has been all but forgotten.
16:51And even if he does hatch some little ice dragon, it will still be no more than a lizard beside
16:55the dragon lord's beasts.
16:56He actually thought he could use this to curry favor with the dragon lord.
16:59Exactly.
17:00The dragon lord has seen every kind of dragon that exists.
17:04This idiot thinks he can show off some unproven ice hatchling?
17:07He's clearly never been anywhere.
17:09Or seen anything.
17:11Besides paying my respects, I also have something to report to Lady Harwin.
17:16Someone here had the audacity to impersonate her.
17:20I've already forced her to her knees to repent, but she refuses to learn her lesson.
17:24I beg you, Lord Harwin, to punish her severely.
17:27It's true.
17:28Not only did that woman impersonate Lady Harwin, she deliberately caused a scene knocking over food and wine.
17:34She meant to spoil the entire feast.
17:36And her daughter is just as arrogant.
17:38She dared to pull a scale from my family dragon and wear it as a pendant.
17:41That's right.
17:42Does she have any idea where she is impersonating Lady Harwin?
17:46A low-class, vulgar woman like that could never deserve such a position.
17:51She probably thinks holding one shed dragon leer makes her some dragon queen in her own mind.
17:56Don't worry, Lord Harwin.
17:58I've already tied her up and thrown her in the bushes to reflect on what she's done.
18:03She's probably been without a man for so long it's added her brain.
18:07That's why she was asking for death.
18:19Where is she?
18:22Liar is finished now.
18:24The dragon lord is truly furious.
18:26A man like him would never allow someone to impersonate his wife.
18:29A few years ago, someone secretly mocked Lady Harwin for being a recluse, saying she must be too ugly to
18:34show her face.
18:35He had that man thrown alive into a volcano.
18:39What a waste, though.
18:40Liar has a face and a body like that.
18:43Too bad to throw in a volcano.
18:45They should just send her to one of the city's brothels.
18:49Your grace, it is all my fault.
18:51Please, punish me.
18:53What Liar did is a crime deserving of a hundred deaths, but why don't you leave her to me?
18:58I will see her tongue torn out or her legs broken so she never runs nor speaks against me again.
19:03Please, Lord Harwin, spare the bitch's life.
19:08The dragon lord let go.
19:10Poor Edrin could even gasp for air.
19:13Where is she?
19:15Take me to her!
19:17Shaking, stumbling, he led the way to the edge of the pond where he'd thrown me dot.
19:31He knelt down, untied the ropes, and lifted me from the water as if I were made of glass.
19:36I was soaked through, my cheek swollen and bruised.
19:39I managed a weak, trembling smile dot.
19:44Just then, Alia, who must have escaped from wherever they walked her.
19:47Father, father, they hit mother!
19:50They almost killed her!
19:51We almost never got to see you again!
19:56Lord Harwin, it was all Adriel.
19:58He's the one who hurt her.
19:59We didn't do anything.
20:00Please, my lord, you have to believe us.
20:05I have nothing to do with him, Lord Harwin.
20:08He must have deceived me.
20:10Lord Harwin, Alia Mola is my wife.
20:12How can she be your wife?
20:14There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
20:16He's right, Lord Harwin.
20:18That woman is Adrien's wife.
20:19She even had his child.
20:21This woman was already married, and she dared to hide her identity and tricked you.
20:24It's shameful.
20:29You are Leora Fane.
20:31She'd always known she was beautiful.
20:33If such a woman could win his favor, why should she not do better?
20:38Lord Harwin, you know my name.
20:44But I was told you died for your late husband.
20:47Lia has blamed herself for your death all these years.
20:50So as not to make her grief a waste, then it is past time you return to your grave.
20:55As for these two, kill them both.
20:59Adrien, please reach out for your two.
21:01You dare?
21:03I'm the heir of White Flame Holt.
21:05You stole my wife.
21:07My parents will go to the king, and I have an ice dragon.
21:10You think you'll keep that throne when my dragon is grown?
21:13Are you afraid I'm going to take your title?
21:17Back in our chambers, the healer gently bandaged my wounds.
21:33They shouldn't get to die that easily.
21:36Not after what they did to you, mother.
21:40If I had known the day you married him, I should have killed him myself.
21:47A warmth spread through my chest.
21:50When Roderick first made his offer of marriage, I was more terrified than anything.
21:54I knew that in this world, no one does a kindness for no reason.
21:58But I had no other choice.
21:59I was ready to accept whatever came next.
22:02I always thought he just wanted my dragon.
22:05The ancient, precious ice dragon that hatched from its egg in the ruins of White Flame Keep.
22:09But he never tried to take her from me.
22:11Instead, he was kind.
22:13He treated me with a respect I'd never known, asking for my opinion on everything.
22:18Until today, I had almost managed to forget Edrin even existed.
22:23Your grace, I have failed you.
22:25As the guards were escorting Edrin away, he slammed his own son into the guards to break their grip.
22:30In the ensuing chaos, he managed to slip away.
22:35But rest assured, I have men after him.
22:37He won't get far.
22:38He won't.
22:39He's running back to White Flame Keep.
22:42Edrin was the youngest child.
22:44He been spoiled his whole life by Torrin and Mira.
22:46Whenever he got into trouble, he always ran home.
22:50He still doesn't know that every person in that keep who ever loved him is dead.
22:53And he is the one who killed them.
22:56This day belongs to Mira.
22:58Since he's returned, we'll use Edrin's life as the offering.
23:06A warmth after Torrin and Mira died, Roderick gave the castle to me.
23:10All the old servants were gone, replaced long ago.
23:13Edrin ran straight to White Flame Keep.
23:16How dare you stop me!
23:21I am the heir of White Flame Keep, the master of the ice dragon, the future rival to the dragon
23:27lord's throne.
23:28Father, mother, Edrin is home!
23:33Was it that bitch, Leah?
23:35Did she put you up to this?
23:37So clever!
23:39Seduces another man, climbs into the dragon lord's bed.
23:42And now she's even turned my own parents against me?
23:45That whore!
23:46The dragon lord will see her for what she is, soon enough!
23:50My mother would never abandon me!
23:52All I have to do is apologize, and she'll forgive me!
23:56You'll all be beaten to death for this!
24:00Just then, the person of the party arrived, pinning him to the ground.
24:04My lady, Lady of White Flame Keep.
24:06I stepped out from behind the guards.
24:09Bring him inside.
24:15You're insane!
24:16You actually got them to play along with this ridiculous charade!
24:19You are fit for washing linen and warming a man's bed, nothing more!
24:23How long do you think Lord Harman will tolerate a lying bitch like you?
24:27Master of the ice dragon?
24:29Just wait, when the ice dragon sees me, you'll find out who its real master is!
24:34Are you deaf?
24:36I am the true master of the ice dragon!
24:39The lord of White Flame Keep!
24:41I am your master!
24:43No one moved.
24:45No one answered him.
24:47The servants bowed to me once more and dispersed.
24:50Liar!
24:51You bitch!
24:52You'll die for this!
24:53How long do you think you can fool the dragon lord?
24:56When he gets tired of you, you'll be nothing!
24:59Let me go!
25:00A moment ago, he was desperate to get in.
25:03Now, a nameless dread seemed to surround him.
25:06Struggling, cursing.
25:08Do you know who I am?
25:09Liar!
25:10I am the master of the ice dragon!
25:12They threw him down in front of a row of black tombstones.
25:16This is Torrent's grave.
25:17He put on rusted armor and rode to war in his son's place.
25:20When Lord Harwin saved him, he confessed.
25:23And walked into the fire!
25:25This is Meera's!
25:26She was with me in the rear camp.
25:27We were nearly killed by the enemy before we were saved.
25:29The day after Torrent died, she walked into the throne room, confessed her guilt, and drove a dagger into her
25:34own heart.
25:35And this one is for my unborn child.
25:37She was eight months along.
25:39The day White Flame Keep was sacked, a Sarn Rider kicked me to the ground.
25:42I felt her blouted of me into the mud.
25:45I just had to lie there and watch as she became a plot of blood mixed with dirt.
25:51And beyond all that, do you have any idea that in the chaos, I never even found my parents' bodies
25:57to bury?
25:57You're right!
