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