00:00:25Avalon
00:00:26Today Avalon ends this
00:00:28That dragon dies
00:00:55Master are you hurt?
00:01:00Where is Aldrich?
00:01:09Need a hand, Master?
00:01:13Are you going to let it kill me?
00:01:15Not a chance
00:01:48Master, aren't you going to praise me?
00:01:52There's your praise. Now pack your things. Leave the isle, go to the mainland.
00:01:58Why? Because I was late and a bit too pleased with my magical gift?
00:02:04Because you're ready.
00:02:07Over ten years ago, I brought you back to the isle of Avalon. Your grandfather's death has been haunting you
00:02:12ever since. Now that you've become the best mage the world has ever seen, you should go to find the
00:02:18truth.
00:02:22Master.
00:02:24Also, this is the marriage your grandfather arranged for you. When you go back, do not forget to fulfill the
00:02:31betrothal.
00:02:32Master.
00:02:33Master.
00:02:40Master.
00:02:40Master.
00:02:40Master.
00:02:40Master.
00:02:42Master.
00:02:43Master.
00:02:44Master.
00:02:46Master.
00:02:48Master.
00:02:50Master.
00:02:50Master.
00:02:52Master.
00:02:55Master.
00:02:57Master.
00:03:01Master.
00:03:03Master.
00:03:04Master.
00:03:04I've been waiting for you, follow me.
00:03:17Someone's cursed this place.
00:03:26After I break this engagement, I'll warn them.
00:03:29Consider it my compensation.
00:03:39My lady, the boy is here.
00:03:42No manners.
00:03:45You want one?
00:03:49I came to see Duke Eldwyn.
00:03:51Where is he?
00:03:52His lordship isn't available to just anyone.
00:03:55Whatever you have to say, you can say it to me.
00:03:58Fine. Works for me.
00:04:05So, you've come about the betrothal.
00:04:08Yep.
00:04:10House Aldwyn has stood for over a hundred years.
00:04:14In wealth and status, we are the greatest family in this town.
00:04:19Like the chair you're sitting on, it took two million gold to build.
00:04:24Reserved only for the head of House Aldwyn alone.
00:04:27Do you understand what I'm telling you?
00:04:29Your house is wealthy.
00:04:31For generations, our marriages have been between equals.
00:04:35Different stations, different births.
00:04:38It only ends badly.
00:04:40To make it clear, House Aldwyn cannot marry its daughter to a penniless beggar.
00:04:45I'm here to break the engagement.
00:04:47But I didn't expect House Aldwyn to look down on people like this.
00:04:52Fine.
00:04:53Saves me the trouble of explaining.
00:04:55Here is two million in gold.
00:04:59Take the money.
00:05:00Leave my daughter.
00:05:02Go as far away as you can.
00:05:07Two million.
00:05:09Your house truly is wealthy.
00:05:11What? You want more?
00:05:12I'll write you a note for three million.
00:05:15Ten million.
00:05:16Boy, don't be ungrateful.
00:05:18Greed will be your ruin.
00:05:20You might not live to spend it.
00:05:22I don't want any of this money.
00:05:28And the marriage?
00:05:30I'm the one calling it off.
00:05:34Duke Aldwyn won't let this go.
00:05:35Maybe I'll have to talk to him later in person.
00:05:37My lady.
00:05:38Should I find someone to deal with him?
00:05:43No deaths.
00:05:45Just teach him a lesson.
00:05:47Make sure he leaves the town.
00:05:50Yes, my lady.
00:06:28Grandfather, about the marriage.
00:06:30I meant to go to House Aldwyn and cancel it.
00:06:34But the Aldwyns were so arrogant.
00:06:36I taught them a small lesson.
00:06:40But no matter how this ends,
00:06:42I'll repay Duke Aldwyn's kindness.
00:06:44I know you two are close.
00:06:46Stuart Marcus says make it clean.
00:06:48Kill the boy.
00:06:49Ten thousand gold each.
00:07:03Don't blame us, kid.
00:07:05You crossed the wrong people.
00:07:09Who?
00:07:21What the fuck?
00:07:32Talk.
00:07:33Who sent you?
00:07:35No one.
00:07:36No one.
00:07:37You want to go back in the water?
00:07:39No.
00:07:42It was Stuart Marcus who sent us.
00:07:44So afraid of me marrying into the family.
00:07:47Get out of here.
00:07:50Young man.
00:07:52Mercy is a virtue.
00:07:53You did the right thing letting them go.
00:07:56Good sir.
00:07:57Thank you for saving me.
00:07:58You could see my spell.
00:08:00Young man, you're more than meets the eye.
00:08:03And children who honor their elders are rare these days.
00:08:09Good sir.
00:08:10You have a shadow curse on you.
00:08:13If you don't treat it soon,
00:08:15it will destroy you from within.
00:08:18You know healing magic?
00:08:21You know healing magic?
00:08:23A little.
00:08:24Can you cure me?
00:08:26Sure.
00:08:27Please sit.
00:08:28I'm going to use Avalon Needles to cleanse your curse.
00:08:51I'm going to use Avalon Needles to cleanse your curse.
00:08:58This is between me and Silas.
00:09:00Walk away.
00:09:02I'll let you live.
00:09:03Shut up.
00:09:04I've been wanting to see what the infamous shadow magic has become.
00:09:08You're asking for death.
00:09:18My rims.
00:09:20They're broken.
00:09:21Who are you?
00:09:22A mage from Avalon.
00:09:23He killed a shadow assassin with one strike.
00:09:27Avalon magic lives up to its reputation.
00:09:30Good sir.
00:09:31You're cured.
00:09:34I've been wounded for nearly ten years.
00:09:37I've seen every healer in the realm.
00:09:39All of them failed.
00:09:41Then you show up.
00:09:42One treatment.
00:09:44And the pain is gone.
00:09:46This is the legendary Avalon Needle art?
00:09:49Yes.
00:09:50I learned this from my master Theron.
00:09:53Your master invented these root stones.
00:09:56Let's anyone in the kingdom talk to each other, no matter how far apart.
00:10:00Take it.
00:10:00I've made a link between your rune stone and mine.
00:10:04Next time you're in trouble, just say my name into the stone.
00:10:07I'll appear.
00:10:09I've always wanted one.
00:10:11Master Theron never allowed.
00:10:13Thanks, sir.
00:10:15I'll see you around.
00:10:20You drove Aldric away, both of you.
00:10:25Father, what are you talking about?
00:10:28What's wrong?
00:10:29Ask your wife.
00:10:31Ask her what she's done.
00:10:33What happened?
00:10:35How could our daughter marry some penniless island boy?
00:10:39Father, Isolette isn't wrong.
00:10:41How could a penniless boy match our house's standing?
00:10:44You fool!
00:10:47Penniless has any family.
00:10:49Not known poverty.
00:10:53Has House Aldrin never known poverty?
00:10:56You drove Aldric away.
00:11:00You'll regret this.
00:11:02Find him.
00:11:04Find him now.
00:11:06If you don't bring Aldric back, you can forget about being heir.
00:11:17Aldric!
00:11:18Do I know you?
00:11:19It's Tessa.
00:11:20You disappeared for 12 years and that's all you have to say.
00:11:23Do I know you?
00:11:2412 years and you still hug just as hard.
00:11:26You deserved it.
00:11:27Where have you been?
00:11:27We thought you were dead.
00:11:28Remote island.
00:11:29Studying with my master.
00:11:31Studying what?
00:11:31How to be a hermit?
00:11:33Something like that.
00:11:34Oh, and Duncan, he's the steward at a tavern now.
00:11:38He's going to lose his mind when he sees you.
00:11:40But first, you need new clothes and a haircut.
00:11:45As steward, zero tolerance.
00:11:48Zero mistakes.
00:11:49Get it fixed.
00:11:51Now.
00:11:53Duncan!
00:11:59No way.
00:12:03You son of a...
00:12:09You grew.
00:12:10You actually grew.
00:12:12And you got presentable.
00:12:15What happened to the scrawny kid who cried when he scraped his knee?
00:12:18He grew up.
00:12:22Barely.
00:12:23Where the hell have you been?
00:12:25Remote island.
00:12:27Studying with my master.
00:12:28Studying what?
00:12:30Duncan.
00:12:31Aldric just came out of the isle.
00:12:33We need to take care of him in town.
00:12:36Don't worry, Aldric.
00:12:37As long as I have food on my plate,
00:12:40you'll have some too.
00:12:43We'll be brothers for life.
00:12:44When I make it,
00:12:46I'll never let you go hungry.
00:12:51Thanks, Duncan.
00:12:52Don't mention it.
00:13:01Tessa!
00:13:02Lily!
00:13:03What are you doing here?
00:13:04I came here to drink with my friend from the academy.
00:13:06All elites.
00:13:08Upper class of the town.
00:13:10Oh, what a coincidence.
00:13:11I forgot you just got into the town academy.
00:13:13I should introduce you to them.
00:13:15This is Lady Alara Aldwin of House Aldwin.
00:13:27Lady Alara is so beautiful.
00:13:31Our Alara is the most beautiful girl in town.
00:13:34Everyone knows that.
00:13:35Don't call me Lady Alara.
00:13:37I'm one year ahead.
00:13:38Call me sis.
00:13:39Or just Alara.
00:13:41And if anyone gives you trouble at the academy,
00:13:43you tell me.
00:13:44Thank you, sir.
00:13:46Thank you, sis.
00:13:48And this is Sir Godfrey,
00:13:50here to the Merchant Guild.
00:13:51And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:53Hello.
00:13:55And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:56And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:57And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:57I've got no titles.
00:13:59Professional Island Dweller.
00:14:00So, you're just a commoner.
00:14:04Since Tessa is Lily's friend, why don't we all drink together?
00:14:08Duncan will have your finest room.
00:14:11Hmm.
00:14:13Fine with me.
00:14:14Alara.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:16Come, Tessa.
00:14:17I'll tell you about the academy.
00:14:20Go.
00:14:21Have fun.
00:14:22I'll be here with Duncan.
00:14:24I'm fine.
00:14:25You're coming, too.
00:14:27Him.
00:14:28Nobles don't share air with commoners.
00:14:31Especially not one from whatever flea-bent island he calls home.
00:14:36Tessa is from my academy.
00:14:39Sir Godfrey's letting you come as a favor.
00:14:42Then count me out.
00:14:44If my friend isn't good enough for your table, neither am I.
00:14:47Enough.
00:14:48Either we all go, or nobody goes.
00:14:50We're here to have fun, not to measure status.
00:14:53My unknown betrothed.
00:14:55Has a spine.
00:14:56Good to know.
00:14:59Fine, fine.
00:15:00More people, more fun.
00:15:09A toast.
00:15:15New friends.
00:15:17Let's take out runestones and make links with each other.
00:15:21Hey, commoner.
00:15:22You first.
00:15:26I don't know how to make a link.
00:15:32You don't know how to use a runestone?
00:15:35Never needed one.
00:15:37He just got to town.
00:15:39Leave him alone.
00:15:40It's fine.
00:15:41First time for everything.
00:15:42Take out your stone.
00:15:43I'll teach you.
00:15:45Bold of you to assume he has one.
00:15:51What is that, a pebble?
00:15:54So small and plain.
00:15:56Did they make this specially for peasants?
00:15:57I like it.
00:15:58It was a gift.
00:16:00Here's the deal.
00:16:01You play the drums for us.
00:16:04Sing one of those Yahoo tunes from your little island.
00:16:06And I'll buy you the best rootstone gold can buy.
00:16:09Deal?
00:16:10Play, play.
00:16:12Stop it.
00:16:17Don't think you can take Taina just because she's nice to you.
00:16:20Hillbilly.
00:16:22You playing or not?
00:16:24Give me back my stone.
00:16:26This junk.
00:16:27I could buy ten of these and not feel it.
00:16:36You couldn't afford to replace it.
00:16:38Friend.
00:16:39Watch your mouth.
00:16:41You're not my friend.
00:16:43You ungrateful brat!
00:16:45Sir Godfrey treats you with respect.
00:16:47And you will see blood today.
00:16:52You dare curse me.
00:16:55Lively in here.
00:17:05Pretty girl.
00:17:07What do you want?
00:17:08Can't you see this is a human's party?
00:17:10Come with me.
00:17:11You'll serve my lord.
00:17:13Big bags of gold for you.
00:17:15Who the hell are you?
00:17:18You're asking who I am.
00:17:19You heard me.
00:17:21I'm the heir of House Percival.
00:17:23Now get lost while you still can.
00:17:25Look at Sir Percival.
00:17:27Now that's a real man.
00:17:29Standing up to rude, violent orcs.
00:17:33Not like some people.
00:17:35Cowards.
00:17:36Are you going to get lost or not?
00:17:46I hate it when people point fingers at me.
00:17:55You ask who I am.
00:17:57Who am I telling me to get lost?
00:17:59Blood.
00:18:00Blood.
00:18:00That peasant was right about the blood.
00:18:02Still asking who I am.
00:18:06I won't ask.
00:18:08I won't ask.
00:18:08I won't ask.
00:18:09Sir Godfrey.
00:18:11Help me.
00:18:12Friend.
00:18:13You've barged into my room and hurt my people.
00:18:15That's not right.
00:18:16And who the hell are you?
00:18:17I am Sir Godfrey.
00:18:19My father is Lord Godfrey, head of the Merchant Guild.
00:18:23He's friends with some of the best mages in the kingdom, even from Avalon.
00:18:27You don't want to start a war between two races.
00:18:30I believe.
00:18:31So, why don't you show some respect and let us have fun?
00:18:35The Merchant Guild.
00:18:37Lord Godfrey.
00:18:38Best mages in the kingdom.
00:18:41Avalon.
00:18:42Yes.
00:18:44Barely.
00:18:45I'll give you that much.
00:18:48But I'm not finished.
00:18:50Your friend, I can let him go.
00:18:55But this girl, she comes with me.
00:18:58My lord doesn't take no for answer.
00:19:05No.
00:19:06She's not going either.
00:19:10Are you sure?
00:19:13I don't know where you're from, but in this room tonight, you're not taking anyone.
00:19:17Which young lord is so important that...
00:19:26I can't even take someone away.
00:19:32Baron Rathburn.
00:19:34I didn't...
00:19:36These the ones?
00:19:37They're the ones who stopped me.
00:19:40So you're the Merchant Guild's young lord.
00:19:43Baron Rathburn.
00:19:44If I'd known it was you...
00:19:46If you'd known it was me, what?
00:19:47You would have kissed my boots.
00:19:51Who is he?
00:19:53Baron Rathburn.
00:19:54He runs the underground world.
00:19:56Those orcs are his mercenaries.
00:19:58He hires them for the dirty work.
00:20:01So what?
00:20:02Sir Godfrey has the whole Merchant Guild.
00:20:05Shut up.
00:20:07Smart boy.
00:20:10The girl, she comes with me.
00:20:14Not a word, boy.
00:20:16Not one.
00:20:18No.
00:20:19You're not taking her.
00:20:22Then I'll take you instead.
00:20:24Baron Rathburn, she's...
00:20:25You speak again.
00:20:26I cut out your tongue.
00:20:33Take both women.
00:20:36Don't come closer.
00:20:38Stay back.
00:20:41Today,
00:20:43none of you are taking anyone.
00:20:49Who said that?
00:20:55Here's your chance.
00:20:56Everyone in your crew kneels.
00:20:58Apologizes to Tessa.
00:21:02Then this whole thing is over.
00:21:12You have no idea
00:21:14who you're talking to.
00:21:15No.
00:21:16But I know that
00:21:17if you don't kneel and apologize,
00:21:21that leg is mine.
00:21:22You're insane.
00:21:23Sir Godfrey couldn't handle this.
00:21:25And you think you can?
00:21:26You're going to get us all killed.
00:21:28He's right.
00:21:28Don't drag us down with you.
00:21:30Baron Rathburn.
00:21:32We don't know him.
00:21:33He's nothing to us.
00:21:34Aldric, this isn't your fight.
00:21:36I've got it.
00:21:37Please take care of Tessa for me, Lady Alara.
00:21:39You still don't know
00:21:40who you're talking to.
00:21:44I don't know.
00:21:46And I don't care.
00:21:47But that leg,
00:21:49it's mine.
00:21:50You're dead, little man!
00:22:01Rawr!
00:22:11No wonder you're so cocky.
00:22:14You're a fighter.
00:22:16Aldric, careful.
00:22:17Rathnith is not a quitter.
00:22:19Here's your chance.
00:22:21Get on your knees,
00:22:22say you're sorry.
00:22:23Maybe,
00:22:24maybe I'll let you walk out.
00:22:25That's what I should be saying to you.
00:22:27You heard him.
00:22:28Get him!
00:22:39I want to know who's causing trouble in my tavern.
00:22:46Who's that?
00:22:47Lady Raven.
00:22:48She runs this place.
00:22:50Baron Rathburn.
00:22:52What brings you here?
00:22:53Raven.
00:22:55Long time.
00:22:56Saw a girl I liked.
00:22:57In your place.
00:22:59Can't sleep without her.
00:23:00What do you want me to do, huh?
00:23:02That girl doesn't work for me.
00:23:04Don't make this difficult.
00:23:06Then you take her place tonight.
00:23:08How about that?
00:23:10And if I say no?
00:23:12Then give me your tavern.
00:23:14The shares.
00:23:15Let me run it.
00:23:17You want my little business?
00:23:18Fine.
00:23:19No problem.
00:23:20Really?
00:23:22But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:24Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:26If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:29Count Valerius.
00:23:30But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:32Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:34If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:37Count Valerius.
00:23:38Go ahead, lady.
00:23:39In this town, no one.
00:23:42Shut up!
00:23:47Raven.
00:23:48No need to bother the old man over something this small, right?
00:23:51Forget it.
00:23:52Matter's settled.
00:23:53Oh, thank the gods.
00:23:54She helped us.
00:23:56Then go.
00:23:57Slowly.
00:23:59I won't see you out.
00:24:01Let's go.
00:24:05I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:07I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:23What did you say?
00:24:26Raven.
00:24:27You see, I tried to play nice.
00:24:29This isn't on me.
00:24:30This young friend just came to town.
00:24:33Doesn't know how things work.
00:24:34An islander.
00:24:35Aldric.
00:24:36Let it go.
00:24:37For me.
00:24:38Do me this one favor.
00:24:40Why should I do you any favors?
00:24:42What are you doing?
00:24:43They have more orcs outside.
00:24:44Even Lady Raven couldn't stop them all.
00:24:46She got us out.
00:24:46Take Tessa and go.
00:24:49Duncan, you told me once.
00:24:51No matter what, you'd never let anyone hurt Tessa.
00:24:53What happened to that?
00:24:55It's not that simple.
00:24:56This is his territory.
00:24:57He knows every corner, every exit.
00:24:59We're in his backyard now.
00:25:00Sometimes you have to know when to walk away.
00:25:02I don't walk away.
00:25:03And they're nothing.
00:25:05Now you understand.
00:25:07I could crush you like an ant.
00:25:09Apologize.
00:25:10Crawl through my legs, maybe.
00:25:12Maybe I'll forgive you.
00:25:13I thought he was different.
00:25:20This is my apology.
00:25:27You...
00:25:28You hit me.
00:25:31You!
00:25:43My head!
00:25:45What are you waiting for?
00:25:47Kill him!
00:25:51Anyone touches him, they go through me.
00:25:54Duncan!
00:25:55He's my brother.
00:25:56I'm not leaving him.
00:26:00Come on, then.
00:26:03Still the same Duncan.
00:26:05Take Tessa.
00:26:07Go.
00:26:07I'll hold them.
00:26:08No need.
00:26:09I'm not done.
00:26:13I gave you a chance.
00:26:15You didn't take it.
00:26:18You gambling den bosses.
00:26:21Why can't you ever use your heads?
00:26:25Get him!
00:26:27Now!
00:26:27Now!
00:26:28Now!
00:26:32Now!
00:26:40Now!
00:26:41Now!
00:26:43Now!
00:26:44Now!
00:26:46Now!
00:26:47Now!
00:26:48Now!
00:26:48Now!
00:26:48Now!
00:26:49Now!
00:26:50Now!
00:26:51Now!
00:26:53Now!
00:27:04If you have all this money, couldn't you afford better Laggius?
00:27:09Call everyone! All my men! Now!
00:27:17Call them! All of them! I want him dead!
00:27:25Stop them. Don't let them call for reinforcements.
00:27:31You're insane. Do you know how many men he has outside?
00:27:36No. But my master taught me something. When you fight, you fight to win. You don't leave pieces behind to
00:27:42come after you later.
00:27:43Get the civilians out. Now.
00:27:49Please take care of Tessa, Lady Alara.
00:27:55I'm not leaving you, Aldric. You're leaving with me. That's how you help him.
00:28:11Who are those things?
00:28:15Rathfall's reinforcements. The whole damned crew. That kid's finished. No one walks out of that.
00:28:22Don't say that. Aldric won't lose.
00:28:26He's a fraud. How can you still believe in him?
00:28:28Because he's never let me down. Not once.
00:28:33I believe him, too. We wait. Together.
00:28:40You hear me? My men are coming.
00:28:44You're dead!
00:28:52Shut up.
00:28:56You want him? You go through me.
00:29:04Kill him!
00:29:32Tell Count Valerius.
00:29:34There's a master mage here.
00:29:37Yes, Lady Raven.
00:29:38Is that all of them?
00:29:42I was hoping for a challenge.
00:29:44That was incredible!
00:29:47You have to teach me!
00:29:48It's just magic.
00:29:50Teach me! Please!
00:30:01Master Corvus!
00:30:03Destroy him!
00:30:07Who's the old man?
00:30:10You don't know who I am?
00:30:14He's the Stormfist.
00:30:17The legendary...
00:30:18Keep a low profile.
00:30:22Stormfist.
00:30:22More like Stormhair.
00:30:24That's a lot of hair.
00:30:27Young man,
00:30:28you don't know what you're getting into.
00:30:36Don't blame me if I hit too hard.
00:30:42Oh, here we go!
00:30:45Storm!
00:30:50I wasn't ready!
00:30:51That's a sneak attack!
00:30:53No honor!
00:30:53Sorry.
00:30:54I didn't know you weren't ready.
00:30:57Try again.
00:31:13Yeah!
00:31:15Yeah!
00:31:29That's impossible, he broke through my mage armor.
00:31:40Stop please, I surrender, I give up!
00:31:51You win.
00:31:53Your turn.
00:32:05Count Valerius is here.
00:32:21Count Valerius, he's the real owner of this place.
00:32:24Who's that next to him?
00:32:26Master Silvanius, master of the open hand.
00:32:28Strongest fighter in the town, he's never lost.
00:32:31Will Aldric be okay?
00:32:33Him?
00:32:34He couldn't even handle Wrathbid's orcs.
00:32:36Now Valerius is here, Aldric's not walking out of there.
00:32:39He brought this on himself.
00:32:44Godris, go in there, talk to him, beg if you have to.
00:32:47Me, Alara, my own father couldn't get Valerius to budge.
00:32:51Unless your grandfather came.
00:32:53He won't come.
00:32:54Then I'll go myself.
00:32:55He's a nobody, you'd risk making an enemy of Count Valerius for him?
00:32:58He's more of a man than you'll ever be.
00:33:00I'm coming too.
00:33:03I'll drink.
00:33:04Let's see if you can get out of this one.
00:33:11You two, you trash my place and you think you can just walk out.
00:33:17Count Valerius, it's complicated.
00:33:20Nothing complicated.
00:33:22So Wrathshed's mercenaries did this.
00:33:25Wrathshed disrespects me.
00:33:28He wouldn't dare.
00:33:31Is it him?
00:33:33Yes, the Stormfist.
00:33:3520, maybe 30 years of training.
00:33:36All of it wasted.
00:33:38Who did this?
00:33:40Him.
00:33:43So young.
00:33:45And he defeated the Stormfist.
00:33:47Impressive.
00:33:49Who trained you?
00:33:50None of your business.
00:33:54Don't think a little training makes you invincible.
00:33:57Arrogance is a slow poison.
00:33:59It kills before the blade ever touches skin.
00:34:03Are you done?
00:34:03There's nothing else we're leaving.
00:34:05You think you can leave?
00:34:07What do you want?
00:34:07Count Valerius.
00:34:08He saved us.
00:34:09Can't we let this go?
00:34:10I know.
00:34:11But they trashed my place.
00:34:13Everyone knows the crown stag is mine.
00:34:16If I let them walk out, what does that say about me?
00:34:19What's your point?
00:34:20You and your friend.
00:34:21Work for me.
00:34:22Join my organization.
00:34:24Duncan.
00:34:25Thank the Count.
00:34:25He's offering you a place.
00:34:27I'll work for you.
00:34:28You saved me.
00:34:29But Aldric is my brother.
00:34:30I can't speak for him.
00:34:32The Count is powerful.
00:34:33If you just...
00:34:33No.
00:34:34I am myself.
00:34:35I don't belong to anyone.
00:34:38Is that so?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:40Then you're not leaving.
00:34:45Last chance, boy.
00:34:47I don't need chances.
00:34:50I can't speak for you.
00:34:51But Master Sylvanus is a master of the open hand.
00:34:55Not just anyone can beat him.
00:34:57I don't want to hurt a child.
00:34:58Last chance.
00:35:00Join Count Valerius.
00:35:01Now.
00:35:02I'll give you a way out.
00:35:03I already said no.
00:35:05Fine.
00:35:06Then watch.
00:35:08Bring them.
00:35:13What are those for?
00:35:15Master Sylvanus will show you what real martial arts look like.
00:35:21Tiger plounce!
00:35:24Tiger pounce.
00:35:27Crushing fist!
00:35:30Crushing fist.
00:35:34You think this is a joke?
00:35:36It's a circus act.
00:35:38You should charge admission.
00:35:40You'll regret that.
00:35:48What...
00:35:49What is this?
00:35:50What have you done?
00:35:53Your hands are gone.
00:35:54Open hand.
00:36:00My turn.
00:36:05My name is Aldric.
00:36:09Ah!
00:36:11Ah!
00:36:15Ah!
00:36:16Ah!
00:36:25Ah!
00:36:26What skill.
00:36:27Even Sylvanus couldn't touch you.
00:36:29The young generation?
00:36:30Terrifying.
00:36:32Count Valerius.
00:36:33Let this go.
00:36:35Please.
00:36:36So.
00:36:37You still won't join me?
00:36:39No.
00:36:39Fine.
00:36:40You've got spine.
00:36:43But spine is useless when your friends' way's brains are on the floor.
00:36:52You're magic might save yourself.
00:36:54But can it save him from point-plank range?
00:36:57One twitch of my man's finger and your friend's story ends.
00:37:00So let's try again.
00:37:01Join me.
00:37:02Or watch him die.
00:37:04Stop!
00:37:07Don't worry.
00:37:09I'm here.
00:37:12Count Valerius.
00:37:14You're Duke Aldwyn's granddaughter.
00:37:17Yes.
00:37:18What do you want?
00:37:19I want you to release my friends.
00:37:21Both of them?
00:37:22Both.
00:37:23Ha!
00:37:24Lady Alara comes to ask for mercy.
00:37:26How could I refuse?
00:37:28In this city, no one refuses Duke Aldwyn.
00:37:31Thank you, Count Valerius.
00:37:33But...
00:37:34I gave your house what it wanted.
00:37:36Now you give me what I want.
00:37:38What do you mean?
00:37:40Your family's new trade route.
00:37:42I want him.
00:37:43I don't handle family business.
00:37:45I can't...
00:37:46Then you can't speak for your house, can you?
00:37:48So why should I do you any favors?
00:37:52Count Valerius.
00:37:53Count Valerius.
00:37:54Release my friends.
00:37:56I'll remember this.
00:37:57I'll find a way to repay you.
00:37:59And how?
00:38:01I...
00:38:03Sorry, I need to take this.
00:38:13Wow, I suppose that's what they call Link.
00:38:17Hello.
00:38:18Aldric.
00:38:19It's Silas.
00:38:20Silas, what's going on?
00:38:21I learned yesterday that the Valerius family wanted to build a new castle right on top of your grandfather's grave.
00:38:31They were going to relocate him.
00:38:33And?
00:38:33Then I immediately spoke to the head of the Valerius family.
00:38:37The cemetery stays untouched.
00:38:39That's...
00:38:39That's great, thank you.
00:38:41You saved my life, kid.
00:38:43This is nothing.
00:38:44And how do you feel now?
00:38:45The Needles should have done their work.
00:38:47Getting better by the day.
00:38:48I'm happy for you.
00:38:50Aldric.
00:38:50Oh, one more thing.
00:38:55Oh, one more thing.
00:38:56Aldric.
00:38:56Oh, one more thing.
00:38:59Do you know someone named Count Valerius?
00:39:02I know him.
00:39:03Why?
00:39:04He's got a crossbow pointed at my best friend's head right now.
00:39:07I'm trying to decide if I should let him live.
00:39:09For your sake.
00:39:17What?
00:39:17What are you saying?
00:39:19I'm thinking about letting him live.
00:39:22Letting him live?
00:39:22He's the one with a cross show to Duncan's temple.
00:39:25Aldric.
00:39:25Please.
00:39:26Just give him what he wants.
00:39:28Duncan can't even breathe right now.
00:39:30Aldric.
00:39:30You don't have to pretend.
00:39:32I'll talk to Lady Raven.
00:39:34Maybe she can...
00:39:35What?
00:39:36Beg me to spare the poor old man?
00:39:38Aldrich, you've lost your mind.
00:39:40He's Valerius crazy. You're someone I bow to.
00:39:43And he dares point a weapon at you. Let me talk to him.
00:39:46Let me see who you're talking to.
00:39:48Who could possibly decide my...
00:39:51...of your fate. Give me the stone.
00:39:54Be my guest.
00:40:13Master Cymus sends his regards.
00:40:18Of course, Lord Cymus. It will never happen again. I swear it.
00:40:27I'm understanding, that's all.
00:40:29A simple misunderstanding between gentlemen.
00:40:33Put the crossbow down! Now!
00:40:39Lady Allara, please forgive this old fool.
00:40:43Your friends are safe. I give you my word.
00:40:47Thank you for coming. It's fine now.
00:40:51Let's go.
00:40:53Please, take your time.
00:40:56My deepest apologies to all of you.
00:41:02Who was that on the...
00:41:08Who was that on the crystal?
00:41:10Master Silas.
00:41:12Master Silas? Which Master Silas?
00:41:14Silas Ravenweald.
00:41:15The former royal archmage.
00:41:17Practically the king's godfather before he retired.
00:41:20In this kingdom, no one refuses Silas Ravenweald.
00:41:24No one.
00:41:25That young man...
00:41:27He's not just some mage from an island.
00:41:31You should get closer to him.
00:41:33Much closer.
00:41:34I'll keep that in mind.
00:41:41Ilarra, you're incredible.
00:41:43Only you could have walked out of there.
00:41:45Hmm.
00:41:46She's an Aldwyn.
00:41:48In this town, who says no to that name?
00:41:51Tessa, are you alright? That was terrifying.
00:41:54Thank you, Lady Allara.
00:41:56If you hadn't...
00:41:56Two grown men, relying on a woman? Pathetic.
00:42:01That's enough.
00:42:02You know who the real coward is.
00:42:04Standing outside the whole time, weren't you?
00:42:06Didn't lift it a finger.
00:42:08Ilarra, it's late.
00:42:09Let me take you home.
00:42:11The streets aren't safe.
00:42:12No.
00:42:13I'm going home with Tessa, Duncan and Aldraff.
00:42:15I can't let you leave with commoners.
00:42:19What would your father say?
00:42:20You don't answer to my father.
00:42:23Let's go.
00:42:24Let's go.
00:42:28Ilarra!
00:42:30Godfrey.
00:42:33Don't contact me again.
00:42:36Aldraff.
00:42:40You'll pay for this.
00:42:48Master, the plan failed.
00:42:51There's this Aldraff.
00:42:52He appeared beside Ilarra.
00:42:53I couldn't get to her.
00:42:54You shit.
00:42:56What do we do?
00:42:58This man, he seems to know things.
00:43:01What if he discovers?
00:43:01Don't worry.
00:43:06Our magic is invisible.
00:43:08No one in this town can see my magic and break it.
00:43:11The soul-binding curse.
00:43:14Seven days.
00:43:15Then Duke Aldwyn dies.
00:43:17House Aldwyn will be ours.
00:43:19As for Ilarra, she made her choice.
00:43:22She dies, too.
00:43:26Master, please.
00:43:27She's just...
00:43:37Ilarra, I'll say goodbye here.
00:43:39Thank you for coming back for us.
00:43:40Of course.
00:43:42That's what friends do.
00:43:44Aldric,
00:43:45will you walk her home?
00:43:46The streets aren't safe.
00:43:48Me?
00:43:49Please.
00:43:50I don't trust anyone else with her.
00:43:52Fine.
00:43:54Fine.
00:43:54Fine.
00:43:55Fine.
00:43:57Fine.
00:44:02I'm glad you're back, man.
00:44:12Let's go.
00:44:16Why did you give Tessa to me tonight?
00:44:18Because I don't trust anyone else.
00:44:21You trust me?
00:44:23Yes.
00:44:29Who was that on the root stone?
00:44:31The one who made Valerius?
00:44:33Dropped his knees?
00:44:35A friend.
00:44:36Just a friend?
00:44:39You already knew who I was, didn't you?
00:44:41You asked me to take Tessa because you knew she'd be safe with an Aldwyn.
00:44:46You're very smart.
00:44:49So Valerius wasn't doing me a favor.
00:44:52He was doing your friend a favor.
00:44:55Which means you're not just some islander who wandered into town.
00:44:59So.
00:45:01Who are you, Aldric?
00:45:04I'm your fiancé.
00:45:07What?
00:45:11You're lying.
00:45:15I'm not.
00:45:17Hey.
00:45:17Tell me the truth.
00:45:19Something I don't know.
00:45:20Something about you.
00:45:21All right.
00:45:22I'm an islander.
00:45:24I already knew that.
00:45:26But that's a good start.
00:45:28Okay.
00:45:29Which island?
00:45:30Avalon.
00:45:31Avalon.
00:45:32Isn't that where mages produce rune stones?
00:45:35The ones every noble carries.
00:45:37And where many mages train.
00:45:38In the middle of the island, there's a mountain.
00:45:41At the top of it is where most of the kingdom's arcane energy rests.
00:45:45Arcane energy?
00:45:46Yeah.
00:45:47The source of magic.
00:45:49The reason I can do what I do.
00:45:51Oh.
00:45:51I see.
00:45:53So that's where you learned your magic.
00:45:55That's why you can beat up all those orcs like they're nothing.
00:45:58Oh.
00:45:59This is me.
00:46:02Give me your rune stone.
00:46:04What?
00:46:05Come on.
00:46:07Give it to me.
00:46:17There.
00:46:18We have a link now.
00:46:22You can talk to me anytime you like.
00:46:24Oh.
00:46:26So that's how it works.
00:46:28You could have told me earlier.
00:46:30I could have showed off to your upper class friends.
00:46:34They mean nothing.
00:46:35All those titles, all that posturing.
00:46:38It's just noise.
00:46:51What?
00:46:51What are you smiling at?
00:46:53You thought I was going to kiss you, didn't you?
00:46:56I did not.
00:46:57Why are you standing so close?
00:46:59You don't like it?
00:47:00Fine.
00:47:01I'll leave.
00:47:02Wait.
00:47:05What now?
00:47:13Bye.
00:47:21Father.
00:47:22Father.
00:47:23Mother.
00:47:24Is something wrong?
00:47:25Alara.
00:47:27You said you weren't coming home this weekend.
00:47:29The plan's changed.
00:47:30You're an old wind.
00:47:31When you leave this house, you carry this house with you.
00:47:35Do you think we enjoy sending guards to shadow you everywhere?
00:47:37There are people who would hurt this family.
00:47:39You know that.
00:47:41Where were you tonight?
00:47:43I was with friends.
00:47:44What friends?
00:47:46Godfrey.
00:47:47Sir Godfrey.
00:47:48The merchant's son?
00:47:49That's not so bad.
00:47:50Godfrey.
00:47:51He wants to marry up.
00:47:53His house isn't worthy of ours.
00:47:54He's still wealthy.
00:47:55I'd rather her marry Godfrey than that island boy.
00:47:58Island boy?
00:47:59Aldric?
00:48:00Sis.
00:48:01You didn't know?
00:48:03Grandfather arranged a betrothal for you.
00:48:05When you were little.
00:48:07What?
00:48:12What?
00:48:13What are you smiling at?
00:48:14You thought I was going to kiss you, didn't you?
00:48:18I did not.
00:48:18Why are you standing so close?
00:48:20You don't like it?
00:48:21Fine.
00:48:22I'll leave.
00:48:23Wait.
00:48:26What now?
00:48:34Bye.
00:48:42Father.
00:48:44Mother.
00:48:45Is something wrong?
00:48:47Alara.
00:48:48You said you weren't coming home this weekend.
00:48:50The plan's changed.
00:48:51You're an old woman.
00:48:53When you leave this house, you carry this house with you.
00:48:56Do you think we enjoy sending guards to shadow you everywhere?
00:48:59There are people who would hurt this family.
00:49:00You know that.
00:49:03Where were you tonight?
00:49:04I was with friends.
00:49:05What friends?
00:49:07Godfrey.
00:49:08Sir Godfrey.
00:49:09The merchant's son?
00:49:10That's not so bad.
00:49:12Godfrey.
00:49:12He wants to marry up.
00:49:14His house isn't worthy of ours.
00:49:16He's still wealthy.
00:49:17I'd rather her marry Godfrey than that island boy.
00:49:19Island boy?
00:49:20Aldric?
00:49:21Sis.
00:49:23You didn't know?
00:49:24Grandfather arranged a betrothal for you.
00:49:26When you were little.
00:49:28What?
00:49:31You don't believe me?
00:49:32Ask mother.
00:49:33Your fiancé came by this morning, but mommy sent him away.
00:49:36You sent him away?
00:49:37Yes.
00:49:39Your grandfather was furious.
00:49:41Said the boy was someone who could help our house.
00:49:43Demanded we find him.
00:49:44Said if we didn't, your father would lose his place as heir.
00:49:48And I would be sent back to my family.
00:49:50What?
00:49:50I thought your grandfather was joking.
00:49:53Until that little mage showed up at our door.
00:49:55Mage?
00:49:57Aldric is a mage?
00:49:59No.
00:50:00No.
00:50:01It can't be Aldric.
00:50:02If he were my fiancé, he would have told me.
00:50:04Did you look into his background?
00:50:07Of course I did.
00:50:08The boy has no parents.
00:50:10Raised by his grandfather.
00:50:11They lived on scraps.
00:50:13Then the old man died.
00:50:14And the boy disappeared.
00:50:16I thought he was dead.
00:50:18So he's just a beggar?
00:50:19I thought he might be from some secret order of mages.
00:50:22Where has he been all these years?
00:50:24I don't know.
00:50:24From the way he looked yesterday.
00:50:26Ragged clothes, rough manners.
00:50:29He hasn't done well.
00:50:30He's just trying to marry into our house to save himself.
00:50:33I won't marry him.
00:50:34I'll pick my own husband.
00:50:36Quiet.
00:50:37This isn't your choice.
00:50:39If we find him, there will be a betrothal ceremony.
00:50:42Immediately.
00:50:43This is unbelievable.
00:50:44Why don't you care more about Grandfather's illness?
00:50:47Instead of the status of my fiancé and your chances to inherit his states.
00:50:50Enough.
00:50:52Go to your room.
00:51:07Aldric.
00:51:10Are you asleep?
00:51:11I was.
00:51:13Now I'm not.
00:51:14If someone tried to force you to marry a stranger, what would you do?
00:51:18I'd marry her.
00:51:19But what if he's old?
00:51:21And ugly?
00:51:22And cruel?
00:51:23Not possible.
00:51:24Your betrothed is handsome.
00:51:26Charming.
00:51:28Brilliant.
00:51:29Practically a gift from the gods.
00:51:31What luck you have.
00:51:33You're impossible.
00:51:35Hey, actually.
00:51:37I'm calling to ask a favor.
00:51:39Go ahead.
00:51:40I'm your fiancé.
00:51:41I'll always be there to help.
00:51:43Please stop joking, Aldric.
00:51:45My grandfather is sick.
00:51:47The healers can't help him.
00:51:49You said you know powerful people.
00:51:51Can you find someone to save him?
00:51:54No need for powerful people.
00:51:55I'll come treat your grandpa tomorrow.
00:51:57You?
00:51:58I know some healing magic.
00:52:00I might be able to help.
00:52:04Find the boy.
00:52:06This is important.
00:52:08Yes, my lord.
00:52:13Where are you going?
00:52:15Town business.
00:52:17Contracts to review.
00:52:24Well, is it done?
00:52:25Don't worry.
00:52:27He won't be seen in this town again.
00:52:29That's not enough.
00:52:31My lady.
00:52:32Tomorrow, send more men.
00:52:35Make a show of it.
00:52:37Let the old man think I'm trying.
00:52:41So he won't send me away.
00:52:45Yes, my lady.
00:52:51Lord Caelian.
00:52:53We've done everything we can.
00:52:56There must be something.
00:52:58I'm sorry.
00:53:00Prepare for the end.
00:53:09There's no other way.
00:53:12Name your price.
00:53:14Anything.
00:53:15It's not about money.
00:53:17We simply cannot cure this illness.
00:53:20We simply cannot cure this illness.
00:53:36This isn't an illness.
00:53:41It's a curse.
00:53:49Who are you?
00:53:53Father, this is my friend.
00:53:55He's a mage.
00:53:56A mage?
00:53:57What do you know about my father's condition?
00:54:00More than your physicians.
00:54:02Someone has cast dark magic on this house.
00:54:05Your father's life is being fed to a curse.
00:54:10Dark magic.
00:54:12You expect us to believe that?
00:54:13He's not lying.
00:54:14He saved my life.
00:54:16He probably arranged the whole thing.
00:54:18Made himself look like a hero.
00:54:20Think about it.
00:54:21Your trade deals have been failing.
00:54:23Your family has been falling ill.
00:54:26Everything has been getting worse.
00:54:32How do you know that?
00:54:34Please, father.
00:54:35Let him try.
00:54:36With respect, my lord.
00:54:37This boy is talking about curses and dark magic.
00:54:40If such things could heal people, there would be no need for physicians.
00:54:43I'm not using magic to heal him.
00:54:45I'm using medicine.
00:54:47Where did you study?
00:54:49Which academy?
00:54:51I didn't.
00:54:52You never studied medicine.
00:54:54You have no training.
00:54:56Throw this fraud out.
00:54:58Uncle.
00:54:59He's fooling you.
00:55:00Can't you see that?
00:55:02I'll take responsibility.
00:55:04You...
00:55:04You're altering.
00:55:08This is the betrothed.
00:55:12He changed his clothes.
00:55:15Cut his hair.
00:55:17I didn't recognize him.
00:55:19You're my betrothed.
00:55:23Don't believe anything he says.
00:55:25He's after our money.
00:55:27An island boy trying to impress.
00:55:29There's been a misunderstanding.
00:55:31I trust him.
00:55:34You're naive.
00:55:36Don't insult him.
00:55:38You took the money.
00:55:39Two million gold.
00:55:41And you still came back.
00:55:44I never took your money.
00:55:45You're lying.
00:55:46Marcus gave it to you.
00:55:47I never saw your money.
00:55:50But I did see your assassins.
00:55:54I...
00:55:55I only told Marcus to scare you.
00:55:58Not...
00:55:59Not to...
00:56:16What is she talking about?
00:56:18What is she talking about?
00:56:19Assassins?
00:56:20Marcus must have acted on his own.
00:56:22I never...
00:56:23I'll pay you two million.
00:56:25Consider the matter closed.
00:56:27You want to forget it?
00:56:28I don't.
00:56:30What do you want?
00:56:31Aldrich, please.
00:56:32Just look at my grandfather.
00:56:34There's been a misunderstanding.
00:56:37I think some people in this house don't want him to get better.
00:56:45Guards!
00:56:46Remove this man!
00:56:48Try it.
00:56:54Father.
00:56:55Father.
00:57:00You're Thomas' boy.
00:57:02Yes.
00:57:03You said you could save me.
00:57:05I can.
00:57:08He's a fraud.
00:57:09Quiet!
00:57:12I trust him.
00:57:14Let him try.
00:57:21It's like a final burst of life before the end.
00:57:25What are you smiling at?
00:57:28You're a fool.
00:57:31What are you talking about?
00:57:33Assassins?
00:57:34Marcus must have acted on his own.
00:57:36I never...
00:57:37I'll pay you two million.
00:57:40Consider the matter closed.
00:57:42You want to forget it?
00:57:43I don't.
00:57:44What do you want?
00:57:46Aldrich, please.
00:57:47Just look at my grandfather.
00:57:49There's been a misunderstanding.
00:57:52I think some people in this house don't want him to get better.
00:58:00Guards!
00:58:01Remove this man!
00:58:03Try it.
00:58:09Father.
00:58:10Father.
00:58:13Grandfather.
00:58:15You're Thomas' boy.
00:58:17Yes.
00:58:18You said you could save me.
00:58:21I can.
00:58:41He's a fraud.
00:58:43Quiet!
00:58:46I trust him.
00:58:48Let him try.
00:58:54It's like a final burst of life before the end.
00:58:59What are you smiling at?
00:59:02You're a fool.
00:59:04You think you can do better?
00:59:06Yes.
00:59:07With what?
00:59:08Needles.
00:59:10Needles.
00:59:11That's all.
00:59:12The finest healers in the kingdom couldn't save him.
00:59:14What makes you think you can?
00:59:16They couldn't.
00:59:17That doesn't mean I can't.
00:59:18Let him try.
00:59:19My father's condition can't wait.
00:59:21If he makes things worse, we won't be responsible.
00:59:23Fine.
00:59:24If I fail, I'll take the blow.
00:59:27And if I succeed...
00:59:29You won't.
00:59:30Young man.
00:59:32If you cure Duke Aldrich, I'll become your student.
00:59:35So will I.
00:59:37And if you cure him, I'll sweep the path before you.
00:59:40And welcome you into this house.
00:59:42Fear.
00:59:44Fear.
00:59:48His life is draining.
00:59:50This is the soul-binding curse.
00:59:53What's that?
00:59:54An old spell.
00:59:55It traps the victim's soul.
00:59:56Feeds on their life force.
00:59:59Within seven days, the victim's spirit is destroyed.
01:00:03Who would want to kill grandfather?
01:00:05You expect us to believe this.
01:00:08Believe what you want.
01:00:10Do you think he needs it?
01:00:11Yes.
01:00:12You can't just...
01:00:13You don't want him to wake up.
01:00:17Of course I do.
01:00:19Then let me work.
01:00:20You don't want him to kill him.
01:00:51Is this... is this real?
01:00:53You're insane.
01:00:56Nothing happened.
01:00:57He's a fraud, I told you.
01:00:59You were so confident.
01:01:01And now?
01:01:03Arrest him!
01:01:04Wait!
01:01:07He's awake.
01:01:09Duke Alderwind is awake!
01:01:16I walked through death's door
01:01:18and came back.
01:01:21A miracle.
01:01:23You saved me.
01:01:25Rest now, Grandfather.
01:01:28Rest.
01:01:30As you say.
01:01:34Master Eldrick.
01:01:36Your technique.
01:01:38Where did you learn it?
01:01:39I taught myself.
01:01:40Remarkable.
01:01:42Come work for me.
01:01:43I'll make you a specialist.
01:01:45Top pay.
01:01:46I have no license.
01:01:49I'll handle it.
01:01:53Master Aldrick.
01:01:55Teach me.
01:01:56Please.
01:01:58He's an honored professor.
01:01:59I don't care about titles.
01:02:01Your skill speaks for itself.
01:02:06Fine.
01:02:07I'll take you.
01:02:10But you!
01:02:12You can send yourself a banner.
01:02:15Write on it.
01:02:16I am a fool.
01:02:20Is my father cured?
01:02:22I broke the curse.
01:02:23But the caster will notice.
01:02:25And when he does,
01:02:26he'll try something more desperate.
01:02:28Can't we find out who's behind all this?
01:02:31The curse caster?
01:02:32There is a way.
01:02:33But first,
01:02:35I need to know something.
01:02:38Who in this house knows your birth chart?
01:02:40Only family.
01:02:42Caelan,
01:02:43Alara,
01:02:44and Marius.
01:02:46Lord Marius.
01:02:47Understood.
01:02:49I'll find the curse caster.
01:02:50Very soon.
01:02:52Duke Aldwin,
01:02:53may I speak with you privately?
01:02:56Leave us.
01:03:03You have questions for me?
01:03:05My grandfather.
01:03:06How did he die?
01:03:10He went to the capital.
01:03:13Before he left,
01:03:13he came to me.
01:03:14Told me to protect you
01:03:16if he didn't return.
01:03:21Your family's murder,
01:03:23your grandfather's death,
01:03:24it's all connected.
01:03:27Years ago,
01:03:28House Aldwin was nearly destroyed.
01:03:31I fled to the capital alone.
01:03:33I was dying.
01:03:35Your grandfather,
01:03:36Thomas Kael,
01:03:37saved him.
01:03:38House Kael was the wealthiest
01:03:39in the capital.
01:03:41With his protection,
01:03:42my enemies couldn't touch me.
01:03:45So,
01:03:45I rebuilt my house.
01:03:47What happened to House Kael?
01:03:49Twenty years ago,
01:03:51it vanished.
01:03:52Overnight.
01:03:53I don't know how.
01:03:55I don't know why.
01:03:56Later,
01:03:58your grandfather's came
01:03:59to this town with you.
01:04:01He left,
01:04:01he was never seen again.
01:04:03I felt indebted
01:04:04to your grandfather.
01:04:06So I arranged the betrothal.
01:04:09And I made a will.
01:04:11When you marry Alara,
01:04:13half of House Aldway's wealth
01:04:14will be yours.
01:04:21How did grandfather die?
01:04:23He must have found something.
01:04:25Someone killed him for it.
01:04:27Who destroyed my family?
01:04:29I don't know.
01:04:30But they weren't mortal.
01:04:32House Kael was too powerful
01:04:34to fall to ordinary men.
01:04:37You come from that world,
01:04:39the world of magic.
01:04:41You know I'm telling the truth.
01:04:45What do you suggest?
01:04:46I think they offended
01:04:47a shadow archmast.
01:04:49And I was cursed
01:04:50because they discovered
01:04:52my connection
01:04:53to your grandfather.
01:04:55Marry Alara.
01:04:56Quickly.
01:04:57Before I die.
01:04:58I can't.
01:04:59Not yet.
01:05:01Why?
01:05:02I have to avenge
01:05:03my family first.
01:05:05We can talk about
01:05:06marriage later.
01:05:07Now that I know
01:05:08House Alden
01:05:09and House Kael
01:05:10share the same enemy,
01:05:11that's enough for now.
01:05:13Do you suspect someone?
01:05:14I'll handle it.
01:05:23Duke Aldwind.
01:05:24The potion is ready.
01:05:26You have my thanks.
01:05:31I was wrong about you.
01:05:33When you're well,
01:05:33my lord,
01:05:34I'll arrange the wedding.
01:05:36I should go.
01:05:38I'll visit every day.
01:05:47Shadow Archmaster,
01:05:49the curse on my father
01:05:50has been broken
01:05:51by some young mage
01:05:52called Aldric.
01:05:53No worries.
01:05:54I'll cast another one.
01:05:55A stronger one.
01:05:57I could see Marius' heart race
01:05:58whenever I mention the traitor.
01:06:00And through this runestone link,
01:06:02I can see where
01:06:03the Shadow Archmeist is.
01:06:05Murderer of my family.
01:06:07I finally found you.
01:06:20You came.
01:06:24You knew I would.
01:06:26I hoped you would.
01:06:28You have power,
01:06:30Aldric of House Kael.
01:06:31More than your father.
01:06:33More than your grandfather.
01:06:34You knew them.
01:06:37I killed them.
01:06:39House Kael was wealthy,
01:06:42powerful.
01:06:43But they had something I needed.
01:06:45A runestone.
01:06:46To speak with dead masters.
01:06:48To enhance my power.
01:06:50They wouldn't give it to me.
01:06:52So I took everything else.
01:06:54You murdered my family.
01:06:56I removed an obstacle.
01:06:58That runestone is in your pocket.
01:07:00Give it to me.
01:07:01Join me.
01:07:02Your power and mine.
01:07:04We could rule everything.
01:07:05I'd rather die
01:07:06than share my friend's gift with you.
01:07:08That can be arranged.
01:07:23Impressive.
01:07:25But not enough.
01:07:37You're strong.
01:07:39But you're young.
01:07:40You haven't learned to control your power.
01:07:43Last chance.
01:07:44Join me.
01:07:46No.
01:07:48My turn.
01:08:11This isn't over.
01:08:15I'll return.
01:08:21For my family.
01:08:32Marius.
01:08:34You cursed me.
01:08:36You conspired with a shadow archmaist.
01:08:38You tried to destroy this house.
01:08:41Do you have anything to say for yourself?
01:08:46I did it for you.
01:08:49For your approval.
01:08:50For you to finally see me.
01:08:52But you never saw me.
01:08:54Only Caelian.
01:08:55The heir.
01:08:56The good son.
01:08:57I was nothing to you.
01:09:00I'm sorry, father.
01:09:03I'm so sorry.
01:09:06Under the laws of this house,
01:09:08the punishment for treason is death.
01:09:10But you are my son.
01:09:12And I cannot kill my son.
01:09:14What do you suggest?
01:09:16Exile.
01:09:16He leaves the kingdom.
01:09:18Never returns.
01:09:20If he does,
01:09:22he dies.
01:09:24Do you accept?
01:09:26Yes.
01:09:28Then it's done.
01:09:31Take him to the border.
01:09:33Make sure he crosses.
01:09:35And make sure he never comes back.
01:09:38The shadow archmaid is still out there.
01:09:40He'll come for you.
01:09:42He's already dead.
01:09:49I've lost a son today.
01:09:51You've gained a chance.
01:09:53No.
01:09:54Let's talk about your reward.
01:10:04You've saved my life.
01:10:06You've saved my house.
01:10:08You avenged your family.
01:10:10Name what you want.
01:10:12Anything.
01:10:15I want to earn her.
01:10:20Earn her.
01:10:21I don't want her handed to me like a prize.
01:10:22I want to prove that I'm worthy of her.
01:10:29You already have.
01:10:32Do you accept him?
01:10:36I do.
01:10:54No, no.
01:10:57If I believe that I can feel.
01:11:16Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today.
01:11:24Do you, Aldrich of House Cale, take this woman to be your wife?
01:11:30I do.
01:11:32Do you, Ellara of House Aldwyn, take this man to be your husband?
01:11:36I do.
01:11:37Then by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.
01:11:51About time!
01:11:54To the happy couple!
01:11:58Are you happy?
01:12:00I'm content, which is more than I ever expected.
01:12:09That's not an answer.
01:12:10It's the only one I have.
01:12:16No, no, never let go.
01:12:21Time!
01:12:21Now we'll be the same
01:12:24And I'm like, I can't find it now
01:12:28Holding your mind
