00:00Daughter of the Lord, bloodline awakened, heir to the throne.
00:04Glory to the soul and plant, a gift from Hekony Belkisar.
00:11Give me a red wine.
00:20The wine you asked for.
00:27You walk in here while he is clearly occupied?
00:30Are you blind or just stupid?
00:39Then Lord Rowan can pour his own wine.
00:42What did you just...
00:43Did you call him by his name?
00:45You address him as my lord, you disrespectful little twat!
00:53That is enough, Isolette.
00:56Know your place, Zahra.
00:58You have no house, no bloodline, nowhere you're in this realm that would take you in.
01:03I will leave then.
01:04I will go rogue before I die.
01:07You have no soul power yet.
01:10Until you do, you belong to this house.
01:13You belong to me.
01:17Come to my study once you have cleaned this up.
01:29Fifteen years with not a single confirmed trace of my daughter.
01:33What more do you need, Lord Blackwell?
01:35I hear you, Lord Cassian.
01:37But murder and abduction require proof.
01:41The other houses will not move against Greth without it.
01:43House Greth attacked House Solani fifteen years ago.
01:47My daughter vanished the same night.
01:49I know what happened to her.
01:51Her body was never found, Lord Blackwell.
01:54In fifteen years, no body.
01:56What does that tell you?
01:59Or do you just not want to hear it?
02:02You are the only one with the power and the standing to help us.
02:07You have to help me avenge my daughter.
02:15Clotha, Laxius, Hekma, if any of you are listening, please, tomorrow, give me my soul power when I turn eighteen.
02:23Set me free.
02:25We will live simply.
02:26In the woods if we have to.
02:28We will hunt for what we need.
02:30We will need nothing from anyone in this house ever again.
02:34I will attend Rowan Greth's feast tomorrow.
02:38Whatever is inside that castle, I will find it.
02:41You have my word.
02:45I will pull everything we have on the Greth Earth, attack on House Selenen.
02:50Every record.
02:53Every body.
02:55Body that was not found.
02:57Do it.
03:00Zara Salone's body was never found.
03:03I suspect she is not dead.
03:25You're a fast learner, my lady.
03:48Rowan, you asked to see me.
03:50What is she doing here?
03:52Was she watching us?
03:54You will address me as my lord.
04:03If you walk in here without knocking again, I will make sure you cannot walk at all.
04:09Isolid, leave us.
04:13Excuse me?
04:14I said, leave us.
04:25How long have you lived here at House Greth?
04:28Almost fifteen years.
04:30Have we ever let you go hungry?
04:33Cold?
04:35Without shelter?
04:37No.
04:38What are you trying to say?
04:42Are you jealous?
04:44Is that what this is?
04:47You wish you were the one I was fucking?
04:49You disgust me.
04:50What?
04:51I am not jealous.
04:53I am disgusted.
04:54And you are not my lord.
04:56The only L word that fits you is low life.
05:01My lord.
05:02Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell has confirmed his attendance at tomorrow's feast.
05:10Taron Blackwell is coming here?
05:12I only sent that invitation out of courtesy.
05:14Why now?
05:14What does he want?
05:15My lord.
05:15I believe it signals respect.
05:17If Taron attends, the other houses will follow.
05:19It confirms our standing.
05:21You think so?
05:21He must know House Greth is the second house in the realm.
05:24He is acknowledging the threat.
05:29Since you find this so amusing,
05:31you will prepare and serve the entire feast, beginning to end.
05:35Tomorrow is my 18th birthday.
05:38You promised me a day's rest.
05:40I changed my mind.
05:50Does Zada know the cloth I wove her to you?
05:56Do not ever mention again.
06:02Forgive me, my lord.
06:05It only seemed as though you two were...
06:10We are nothing.
06:12She is a servant.
06:13An orphan.
06:15I do not know why the Moray goddesses chose her for me,
06:18and I do not care.
06:20I will not accept it.
06:22What do you plan to do with her?
06:25Once she turns 18 tomorrow,
06:27her soul power will awaken.
06:28She will feel the fated between us the moment it does.
06:31I will sever it publicly,
06:32in front of the entire feast.
06:34Severing a thread decreed by the Moray-ass
06:36is not a simple act, my lord.
06:38Clothra herself spun it with her.
06:39I do not care.
06:40You are dismissed.
06:48Damn it, Zara.
06:54Sorin,
06:54I need you to source a worthy gift
06:56for Lord Rowan Greth
06:57before tomorrow's feast.
06:58A gift?
06:59For Rowan Greth?
07:00Why would you...
07:01We keep our friends close,
07:02and our enemies closer.
07:04Yes, my lord.
07:04Daughters of allied houses,
07:06each one a strong political match.
07:09If you arrive at the feast
07:10with one of them on your arm,
07:11it sends a message.
07:13House Blackhead is building alliances,
07:15not just the family.
07:16I will not be bringing a companion.
07:18My lord,
07:19if House Greth discovers
07:20you are still unwavered at your age,
07:22they will question your standard,
07:23and they will use it against you at the feast.
07:24Let them.
07:25I am Theron Blackwaite.
07:30Let's hope she is there,
07:32whoever she is.
07:40My lord.
07:41Those burns?
07:42Are those...
07:43Jade Hog?
07:44Yes.
07:44Inside the estate?
07:46How did it get past the...
07:47It was tracking something.
07:49A soul whose suppression is breaking.
07:52Something it could smell from a long distance.
07:59The trail leads toward House Greth territory.
08:02Lord Cassian's daughter.
08:04Have the carriage ready at dawn.
08:05Sauron,
08:07tell no one about the burns.
08:24Happy birthday to me.
08:26Happy birthday, Zara.
08:29Who is there?
08:31It is me,
08:32Lara.
08:33I am your divine gift, Zara.
08:35Hecate's gift.
08:36The one they sealed away
08:37when you were a child.
08:39I have been here the entire time.
08:41They simply would not let me speak.
08:43Hecate's gift.
08:44You are Hecate's gift.
08:46It is very good to finally meet you.
08:48And there is something I need to tell you
08:50about the one the Moiri decried for us.
08:52The one Clothra wove into your threadhead at birth.
08:54Clothra wove a thread for me?
08:55Yes.
08:56The one she decreed for us.
08:57He is here.
08:58He has always been here.
08:59In this castle.
09:01Who?
09:02Rowan Greth,
09:03Lord of this house.
09:05Clothra wove you for him in the birth.
09:07He has known since before you did.
09:31He is coming.
09:32I can feel him approaching.
09:34Zara,
09:35when you see the thread,
09:37do not let it show on your face.
09:52So,
09:53Hector finally broke the seal.
09:56You knew.
09:58This whole time,
09:59you knew what Clothra decreed,
10:00and you said nothing.
10:01So what?
10:02You are a servant.
10:04A casteless orphan.
10:05You have no house,
10:06no bloodline,
10:07nothing.
10:08What Clothra decreed does not change what you are.
10:12I defy the decree, Zara.
10:26If you beg,
10:28perhaps I will reconsider.
10:30I accept your defiance,
10:32Rowan.
10:35What?
10:39The thread is gone.
10:41So are we.
10:42Clothra does not weave a second thread for the same person.
10:45You will live and die casteless.
10:47So be it.
10:48Pack what you have tonight.
10:49After today,
10:50I do not want to see you in this castle again.
10:52I have been waiting years for you to say that, Rowan.
10:59You are allowed to feel it, Zara.
11:01What he did this morning.
11:04I just need to get through this feast.
11:08There is someone coming tonight.
11:10I can feel a presence in the road.
11:12Something old.
11:13Something that knows Hector's gift from a distance.
11:16Everything can wait until after the feast.
11:25The carers were in this tree line last night.
11:28How close?
11:29Close enough to leave tribute at the window.
11:32Someone inside that castle has been paying them to stay back.
11:35Paying the carers to stay back from whom?
11:45Hector's bloodline.
11:48An inside house Greth.
12:11Lord Blackwit, what a pleasure.
12:13I hope the road treated you well.
12:15Our castle sits deep in the forest.
12:17Not the easiest journey.
12:18Lord Rowan built house Greth castle from the foundations up.
12:22It is everything a great house should be.
12:24Hmm.
12:25A gift from house Blackwit, Lord Greth.
12:27In honor of tomorrow's betrothal.
12:31Lord Blackwit, this is far too generous.
12:34We could not possibly...
12:36Pocket change.
12:37Shall we?
12:41What do you think you are doing?
12:43Do not embarrass me.
12:47I saw a servant girl at the rest juice pile.
12:51Find out who she is.
12:52How she came from.
12:54How long she has been here.
12:56Everything.
12:56And the carers were paying her the kind of attention they paid to...
12:58I know, Sorin.
12:59Find out who she is.
13:01Tonight.
13:02Before the feast ends.
13:10Lord Blackwit.
13:11I have always admired what house Blackwit has built in the Northern Territory.
13:15The estate, the trade routes.
13:17I feel we share very similar tastes in what a great house should be.
13:20Isoleth.
13:21Zara.
13:22Wine.
13:24We have an important guest.
13:26Lord Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:28Show some respect.
13:31What are you waiting for?
13:32We have an important guest.
13:34This is Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:36Show some respect.
13:39I need to step out a moment, my lord.
13:47Excuse me.
13:48Where are you going with that?
13:51I am trying to wash.
13:53Wash?
13:54You call that washing?
13:55Can you just leave me alone?
13:57Please.
13:58I am not even supposed to be talking to you.
14:01I just want to know your name.
14:03Please.
14:04It's my 18th birthday today.
14:06Just do not make this worse.
14:11It is her birthday.
14:14Lord Blackliffe is going to want to know that.
14:17I noticed you came alone, Lord Blackwell.
14:20No companion for the feast.
14:22Is there no one who has caught your interest?
14:24I hear House Blackwell has no shortage of fine houses seeking alliance.
14:29There is someone.
14:31Is that so?
14:34Well, we have some of the finest bloodlines in the realm here tonight.
14:39Lady Maron of House Vale.
14:41Strong covenant line.
14:42Excellent standing.
14:44Lady Maron.
14:45Lord Blackwet of House Blackwet.
14:47She has good bloodline.
14:49And, well...
14:51If Lady Maron is not to your pace, take your pick of any house here tonight.
14:55This is the finest gathering in the realm this season.
14:58There is someone, actually.
15:00Oh?
15:01Who is the lucky lady?
15:02That servant girl.
15:04From earlier.
15:05The one who poured the wine.
15:09You cannot be serious, Lord Blackwell.
15:12She is a costless servant with no house name.
15:16Whatever interest you have.
15:19Surely one of the noble daughters here tonight would serve you far better.
15:22I am not interested in the noble daughters.
15:25She does not even bathe properly.
15:27She has no access to moods a lot of...
15:29Is that something she chooses?
15:30Or something she is not permitted?
15:36Send her to my guest room.
15:38I would like to speak with her.
15:40That is not going to...
15:44Of course.
15:46We will send her up.
16:01Well, it seems you have admirers.
16:04Lord Blackwell has requested your company in his guest room this evening.
16:10For some reason, Lord Blackwell wants you for the evening.
16:13No idea why.
16:16What are you talking about?
16:20Please do not wear that.
16:23Consider it a parting gift.
16:25I heard Rowan sent you away.
16:28Finally.
16:30Lord Blackmet's guest room.
16:31To the right at the end of the upper corridor.
16:33Do not disappoint him.
16:34I am not going.
16:36Why not?
16:36Does he not interest you?
16:37I do not know him.
16:39And Clothie does not weave second threads.
16:41You said so yourself.
16:42Clothie does not weave the same thread twice.
16:44But she weaves more than one kind.
16:47Go and see for yourself.
16:49And Zara.
16:51Please.
16:52Change your dress.
16:56A golden strap.
16:58All you have.
16:59One more time.

17:10You are going.
17:22One more time.

26:34this isn't over blackweck send a raven next time like a lord
26:41Rowan
26:49I know about the attack on house Saluni
26:51I know you sealed a three-year-old child and kept her hidden for 50 years and I know Clotha
26:54with thread for her and you threw it away
26:57Atrotus is watching you you defied the morace buried Hecate's bloodline and destroyed an entire house the gods don't forget
27:03that and
27:03neither do I you read my ring without permission that is a violation of the accord between houses
27:15Do not go out there Zara Rowan's RS gift is not controlled when he is this angry
27:22He would not mean to but he could drain you through the seal fractures the cracks make you vulnerable
27:28I am not afraid of him I know
27:31But the seal is not fully broken yet
27:34until it is
27:35Stay inside this house
27:37The Nyxbourne will not let him pass the gate
27:40What happened at the gate
27:42He backed down for now, but he will move against you soon
27:47Rowan does not accept losses
27:48What does he want from me?
27:50He defied the decree himself. He sent me away. What is there left to take?
27:54He does not want you
27:55He wants to make certain no one else has you. There is a difference
27:57Your name is not just Zara. Your full name is Zara Solane
28:01Daughter
28:01Of Lord Cassiel Solane and Lady Neva Solane of House Solane
28:06That is not possible
28:08My parents died when I
28:10They did not die
28:13House Greth attacked House Solina 15 years ago
28:15Your parents survived
28:17You were taken in the chaos
28:18Either by Greth soldiers or hidden here afterward
28:22Your parents have been searching for you ever since
28:24My parents are alive?
28:26Yes
28:26I met with them two days ago
28:28Your father sat across a desk from me and told me 15 years of searching
28:33Your mother has not stopped looking since the night you disappeared
28:35House Solune
28:37Hector's Covenant
28:38Yes
28:39Your bloodline carries Hector's gift
28:41Soul sight
28:42The ability to see the complete truth of any person
28:44The rarest gift in Avarin
28:45It is why the Covenant seal was placed on you as a child
28:48To keep Hector's gift buried
28:49To keep you buried
28:52Why are you doing this?
28:54I gave your father, Lord Cassian, my word
28:55That is not what I mean
28:57You came to that feast looking for something
28:58You saw me and you spent the rest of the night trying to find out who I was, why
29:01The Shadehound tracks in my study led to House Greth territory
29:04The Keris retreating when I arrived
29:06The pieces were already there
29:07That is still not what I mean
29:10My gift responded to you at the gate before I knew who you were
29:13That does not happen
29:14Not to me
29:15Lyra said clothed her weaves more than one kind of thread
29:18Yes, she does
29:40Lord Cassian
29:42I said I would find her
29:48You have her eyes
29:52Your mother's eyes, exactly
30:00I did not know you were alive
30:02They told me
30:03I thought
30:03I know
30:03I know what they told you
30:05I prayed
30:06For years I prayed
30:08I did not know who I was praying to
30:10I called her Hectith
30:11I just prayed that someone was listening
30:13Hector was listening
30:14She always was
30:16I never stopped looking for you
30:18Not one day
30:20Not one hour
30:27You were three years old
30:29The night they came
30:31House Greth attacked at the third bell of night
30:33No warning
30:34No declaration
30:35Just Greth's soldiers at our walls
30:37They knew exactly what they wanted
30:39Hectater's covenant had just passed to you at birth
30:42House Solane with a newborn heir
30:44Carrying the full force of soul sight
30:45That terrified them
30:46You would have been the most powerful voice
30:48At any council table in Auron
30:51So they took me instead of killing me
30:53They put the covenant seal on you that same night
30:56And they kept you where they could watch you
30:58And where the seal would never break
30:59Surrounded by Rowan Zahra's gift
31:02Pressing the seal down every day
31:03Simply by existing near you
31:05And Clotha's decree
31:07Rowan was woven for me at birth
31:09He knew if the thread appeared
31:11He could not hide who I was any longer
31:12Which is why he defied it immediately
31:16Better to pay the cost of defying the Moirai
31:18Than to let you know who you were
31:21He was afraid of me
31:26His entire house has been afraid of you
31:29Since the night you were born
31:33The seal will fully break within days
31:35Once Hectater's gift is free in her
31:37See through every lie in this realm
31:40She will see what we did to her family
31:43She will be able to prove it at council
31:45Then we stop it before it breaks
31:46The seal is too far gone
31:48Rowan's suppression cannot close those fractures
31:50Hector is driving them open from the divine side
31:52There is only one thing that stops Hecta's gift once it starts
31:54Voidban
31:56Voidban severs the covenant permanently
31:58Hecta's gift gone from her bloodline entirely
32:01Gone
32:01I know someone who can get it
32:07Get it
32:14How does it work?
32:16One touch to bare skin
32:17The poison enters through contact
32:19It reaches the covenant connection in the blood within one hour
32:22After that
32:23The gift is gone
32:24The bloodline's covenant with Hecta dissolves permanently
32:27As if the original bargain was never made
32:29If I use it on her, what happens?
32:32She lives
32:33She simply becomes ordinary
32:48Good morning
32:49Good morning
32:50This was always your room
32:52We never changed it
33:01Tell me what Lyra says your gift does
33:03In full
33:04Soul sight
33:06Hecta's gift
33:06I can see the complete truth of any person
33:09What they intend
33:10What they hide
33:10What they have done
33:11No lie survives it
33:12In its full form
33:14Lyra says I can read an entire room simultaneously
33:16Can you use it now?
33:18Not yet
33:18The seal is still there
33:19Most of it
33:20Lyra says when it fully breaks
33:22The gift will arrive all at once
33:24She says it will be overwhelming
33:25At first
33:26When it does
33:28You will be able to see the truth of everyone around you
33:30Including me
33:31Does that concern you?
33:33No
33:34Zara
33:35Zara
33:35The warmth between you
33:37That is real
33:38Clothy wove it differently this time
33:40It will not collapse if defied
33:41It only grows
33:43Not yet
33:43What?
33:44Nothing
33:45Lyra talks a great deal
33:49Rowan demands we surrender
33:51Zara to House Graith
33:52Custody within three days
33:55Or he declares
33:56Interhouse conflict
34:01He cannot declare conflict
34:02Against both our houses
34:03House Selene and House Blackworld together
34:06Outrank him at every council
34:07He does not need to win the conflict
34:09He only needs to create enough chaos
34:12That the other houses look away
34:13While he moves against Zara directly
34:17He is not going to wait for the council
34:19He is going to move before the seal breaks
34:21Lord Cassian
34:23Can you call the council
34:26Formally
34:27Openly
34:28Before Rowan moves first
34:33I can
34:34But if Rowan has something
34:36That can stop the seal breaking
34:37Before the council convenes
34:39Do not let anyone you do not trust
34:41Come near your wrist
34:42Not until the seal is fully gone
34:57Fifteen years ago
34:58House Graith attacked House Solene
35:00Without declaration
35:01Without cause
35:01And without consequence
35:02My door three years old
35:03Was taken that same night
35:05A covenant seal
35:06Placed on a child of Hecate's bloodline
35:08To suppress her divine gift
35:09She was kept as a servant
35:11In House Graith
35:11For fifteen years
35:13I am asking this council
35:14To answer for what was done
35:15House Graith denies every accusation
35:17The girl in question
35:19Was an orphan
35:20Found wandering near our territory
35:21We took her in
35:22Out of charity
35:23The covenant seal
35:24Was placed for her own protection
35:26Her gift was unstable
35:27Lord Cassian
35:28Has no proof
35:29Of anything he has claimed
35:30Furthermore
35:31This girl
35:32Has no documented bloodline
35:34No House Solene
35:35Birth record
35:36Survives the attack
35:37On their estate
35:38Lord Cassian
35:39Is asking the council
35:40To accept the word
35:41Of a casteless servant
35:42Over the standing
35:43Of House Graith
35:44I have proof
35:46When Ronan showed up
35:48To my house
35:48I used my gift
35:49And read his ring
35:50What I found
35:50Wasn't pretty
35:51Fifteen years of deliberate moves
35:53Against House Solene
35:54The attack
35:54Taking the child
35:56Locking Hectima's gift
35:57Inside her with that seal
35:58All of it
35:59That ring has witnessed everything
36:01He read my ring
36:02Without permission
36:03Article 7 of the accord
36:04Permits a reading of house insignia
36:06When a missing heir is involved
36:07That itself is a violation
36:08Of the accord
36:09Everything he claims
36:10To have read
36:10Is inadmissible
36:11Zara Solene
36:12Is a missing heir
36:12Her father sits at this table
36:24Zara, left side
36:25Now
36:33Zara
36:33Fight it
36:34Do not let it reach the covenant
36:36Do not
36:48What did you give her?
36:50Nothing that was not necessary
36:56Zara?
36:58Zara?
36:59Zara?
36:59Zara!
37:00Hectiet is here
37:01She is fighting it
37:02Hold on
37:27This is what you were born for
37:30Now Zara Solene
37:31Now let them see you
37:35Welcome home
37:44I don't know.
38:14I don't know.
38:37You accepted payment from House Grief six years ago in exchange for blocking House
38:42Solane's petition to this council.
38:44You told your household it was a trade agreement.
38:47I am not here to expose every secret in this room.
38:49I am here to confirm one thing.
38:52Everything Lord Blackwell told this council is true.
38:54I can see it in every person who was present at House Grief during the years they kept
38:58me.
38:58Every action.
38:59Every decision.
39:00Every order given.
39:03This council will not accept the testimony of a girl who just had a vow pressed to her
39:07wrist.
39:07She is clearly...
39:08Sit down Rowan.
39:11Sit down.
39:19Rowan.
39:20You lost.
39:21Accept the judgment of the council for the mistakes you have made.
39:29You're done, Rowan.
39:31Look around you.
39:32I'm not done until I say I'm done!
39:36Let's gofters.
39:37Let's go.
39:52Let's go.
39:52We'rerut' test.
40:07It is over, Rowan.
40:14You went to a crossroads at night.
40:16You took something from Hades Domain.
40:18Don't.
40:19You pressed it against my wrist in front of this entire council and watched me go down.
40:26You tried to kill a divine gift.
40:28In neutral land.
40:30In front of eight houses sitting in the room.
40:32Every lord hearing it clearly.
40:34I protected my house.
40:37What she would have done with that gift.
40:39I can see every lie you've ever told.
40:40Don't try another one.
40:41I move that House Crane be held responsible for the attempted use of Hades-sourced poison on a divine heir
40:46in neutral ground.
40:47Isilter Crane to be stripped of her house title and remanded to council custody pending full judgment.
40:52You cannot.
40:53I am the daughter of House Crane.
40:55My father will...
40:55Your father is not in this room.
40:57Rowan.
40:58Rowan, tell them.
40:59Tell them I did it for us.
41:00For the house.
41:02You told me to get it.
41:03You said, get it!
41:06You're not going to say anything.
41:08Are you?
41:11I did everything for you.
41:13Every single thing.
41:15The room.
41:17The vial.
41:19Fifteen years of watching you look at her instead of me and I said nothing.
41:23I did everything you needed and you won't even...
41:26I loved you.
41:27That was real.
41:29Even if nothing else was.
41:44I want you to know something before you go.
41:47You spent fifteen years trying to stop this moment.
41:51And here we are anyway.
41:52What do you want, Zara?
41:54An apology?
41:54I want nothing from you.
41:56That is what I came to tell you.
41:58After everything you did, I feel nothing when I look at you.
42:05The council exiled him.
42:07He lost any powers he had.
42:17I do not know how to do this.
42:27Every single day.
42:29I said your name every single day so I would not forget the sound of it.
42:34So it would still be ready when you came back.
42:40Welcome home, Zara.
42:53You found her.
42:55You brought her home.
42:57House Barnett has House Solina's gratitude for what you did and I mean that without reservation.
43:02I did not come today for gratitude.
43:05No.
43:06I did not think so.
43:07What are your intentions toward my daughter, Lord Blackwell?
43:09Honorable ones, I want the right to court her.
43:11Properly, openly, with your knowledge and consent.
43:13Nothing hidden, nothing rushed.
43:14She has been kept hidden and castless for fifteen years.
43:16She has just received her full divine gift and learned who she is.
43:19She is not a prize to be collected, Lord Blackwell, by anyone, including the man who helped find her.
43:23I know that.
43:23The decision is hers entirely.
43:25I am asking your permission to be considered, not your permission to decide for her.
43:29She already knows you came.
43:31She saw it in your face the moment you arrived.
43:33I am aware of that.
43:34Good.
43:34Then there is no point pretending this conversation is a secret.
43:46I spoke with your father.
43:47I know.
43:48I saw it in your face before you said a word.
43:50Is that going to be a permanent condition?
43:52Reading everything before anyone speaks?
43:54Yes.
43:55Good.
43:59In the Accord Hall, when you read me, what did you see?
44:03Everything you have done.
44:04Everything you intend.
44:06Everything you have been afraid to say out loud since the gate at House Greth.
44:10And?
44:10And nothing hidden.
44:11You are exactly what you appear to be.
44:13That is rarer than you know.
44:16Do you see that?
44:20I see it.
44:21I told you.
44:23A decree of purpose.
44:24It only grows.
44:27So, what do we do with it?
44:29I have a few ideas.
44:30You are not as serious as you pretend to be.
44:33And you are not as unbothered as you pretend to be.
44:36I read you, you know.
44:37What am I supposed to do with it?
44:39I know.
44:41You are not afraid of that.
44:44I had nothing to hide.
44:54Lyra is going to be insufferable about this.
44:56I heard that.
44:57Come on.
44:58Your father is going to send someone to find us soon.
45:01Let him.
45:02You are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:02you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:04you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you are not as serious as you pretend to be, you are not as serious as you pretend to be,
45:05you
