00:00:00I choose him.
00:00:03Did I see that right? Lady Anastalia just turned down Prince Dimitri.
00:00:07Not only that, she picked a wingless nobody!
00:00:10Oh, this is gonna be good.
00:00:15Ivan... Volkov.
00:00:17Last life, I injected berserk magic into him.
00:00:21Just to help Dimitri eliminate a rival.
00:00:39Ivan Volkov, will you accept me? Will you enter into a pact with me?
00:00:46Anastalia, you challenge me by choosing a nobod?
00:00:51Sister, Ivan is a wingless dragon. He has no right to the throne.
00:00:55And you're the eldest daughter of House Voronov. How could you lower yourself like this?
00:01:00Since you care so much about status, Katarina, why don't you marry Prince Dimitri?
00:01:05House Voronov has more than one daughter, after all.
00:01:11Sister... How could you say that?
00:01:15Enough, Anastalia!
00:01:18You defy me at every turn, and now you challenge Prince Dimitri and your sister in public?!
00:01:25Hmph. Defy you?
00:01:27Wait till you find out what your perfect daughter has really been up to.
00:01:31Father, since you say I'm defying you, then let me defy you all the way.
00:01:41Ivan, let's go.
00:01:50If you walk out that door, you're no longer a member of House Voronov!
00:02:00Aren't you going after her? We still need her magic for the succession trials!
00:02:03Hmph.
00:02:07Chase her. She's just throwing a tantrum.
00:02:10Once she calms down, she'll come crawling back to be my dog.
00:02:16Enough!
00:02:18Anastalia, I don't know what game you're playing.
00:02:20Is it fun for you, messing with a cripple?
00:02:23Don't forget how I lost my wings!
00:02:28I'm sorry, but believe me, what I did today wasn't on a whim.
00:02:35I'll make your wings grow back, and give you back the right to the throne.
00:02:39What?!
00:02:40But only forbidden magic can regrow dragon wings.
00:02:42That's for high mages.
00:02:43You have the power, sure, but you're still just a low-rank maid.
00:02:46How could you-
00:02:46Last life.
00:02:47To put Dimitri on the throne, I knocked on every forbidden library door.
00:02:52Learned every forbidden magic there was.
00:02:55I remember every single one.
00:02:57And I'm already a high mage now.
00:03:04Anastalia!
00:03:05What are you doing?
00:03:22At last, you can soar once again.
00:03:27Anastasia!
00:03:37Why did you give up half your magic?
00:03:41Just to regrow my wings.
00:03:42Because Dimitri betrayed me.
00:03:44It's worked together.
00:03:45I'll help you take the throne, and you help me get revenge.
00:03:48I'll let you participate in the candidate trials next week.
00:03:50But I won't enter into a pact with you.
00:03:53Wingless freak!
00:03:54Get out of Dragonfly!
00:03:55What's the difference between you and a worm?
00:04:02That's fine.
00:04:03But before the trials, there's something we have to do.
00:04:06I came to him now.
00:04:16We have to be met.
00:04:17Folks.
00:04:20Can we be成功?
00:04:20Shit.
00:04:22Could you say we could call you?
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:32Bring down my help for me.
00:04:34How do you get moderator at your Miller극?
00:04:36We need a guardian. The strongest one there is.
00:04:39There's never been real trust between humans and dragons.
00:04:42Some dragons choose to fall, and some humans choose to hunt them.
00:04:45And the greatest dragon slayer of them all, Maxim Kuznetsova, is locked up in here.
00:04:55How? How did he end up here?
00:05:00Maxim saw what you did to Ivan.
00:05:03If he stays alive, word will get out. What will you do then?
00:05:06I sold him out, to silence him, to protect myself.
00:05:10For Dimitri, this time, I'm going to get him out myself, and make up for what I do.
00:05:23Anastasia.
00:05:34Maxim!
00:05:40It's been a while, my princess.
00:05:43So, what new twisted game is it this time?
00:05:46I'm sorry, Maxim.
00:05:48I came to get you out of here.
00:05:52Save me?
00:05:54Do you have any idea what I've been through in this place?
00:05:58A knight?
00:05:59A dragon slayer?
00:06:02Bet you never thought your own ally would sell you out to us.
00:06:07What? Still hoping she'll come back for you?
00:06:09Forget it.
00:06:10She's probably in someone else's bed right now, having the time of her life.
00:06:15Take a good look.
00:06:16She's not coming.
00:06:17You're nothing to her.
00:06:19Just a dog she threw away.
00:06:23Every single day, I dreamed of all the ways I would defeat you.
00:06:28Don't forget your knight's oath.
00:06:31From this day forward, your safety is my reason for existing.
00:06:35I swear it on my life and my honor.
00:06:38I pledge myself to you, Anastasia.
00:06:47Maxim, I've already paid the price for what I did.
00:06:51Maxim.
00:06:57Oh, did you forget?
00:06:59Maxim, you personally sold him into the fallen city.
00:07:07Maxim Kuznetsov, I made Ivan's wings grow back.
00:07:11And I swear to you, I can make you a knight again.
00:07:14A knight with glory.
00:07:18Maxim Kuznetsov, I made Ivan's wings grow back.
00:07:21And I swear to you, I can make you a knight again.
00:07:24A knight with glory.
00:07:29Get them, all of you.
00:07:30Don't let that dragon slayer escape.
00:07:33He's finished.
00:07:34Nothing to be afraid of.
00:07:55Anastasia.
00:08:03Back off!
00:08:09I told you, I would give you back your honor as a knight.
00:08:27You actually believe the woman who sold you out?
00:08:29She's been cast out of her own house.
00:08:31House Varanoff doesn't want her anymore.
00:08:33She came to you because she's desperate.
00:08:35She needs a dog that can still bite.
00:08:37Is what he said true?
00:08:38No, that's not...
00:08:39And I thought, you actually came to save me.
00:08:41But it was just another use.
00:08:47Consider your life spared for pulling me out of here.
00:08:51But I will never serve you again.
00:09:03He's gone.
00:09:03What do we do now?
00:09:07Now, we attend the trial.
00:09:09As planned.
00:09:12It's been so long and that bitch still hasn't come crawling back.
00:09:15You don't think something's changed, do you?
00:09:18A woman cast out of her family in a wingless reject.
00:09:20What kind of storm could they possibly stir up?
00:09:22The trial now begins.
00:09:25Only those who pass the test and earn recognition
00:09:29may set foot upon the path to the throne.
00:09:33Ivan Volkov, second son of House Volkov.
00:09:36He too carries royal energy.
00:09:37He will participate in today's trial.
00:09:40A dragon with no wings.
00:09:42What's the difference between him and an overgrown lizard?
00:09:45He's a disgrace to Dragon Kund.
00:09:47Allowing him to remain in Dragon Spite City at all is mercy enough.
00:09:52And he dares show his face here?
00:09:53Sister, father has already disowned you.
00:09:55If you cause another scene today,
00:09:57exactly how many more times do you intend to shame Ouset Varanoth?
00:10:02Sister, what kind of madness have you dragged in here now?
00:10:05Wings or no wings,
00:10:06the energy that runs through his veins is still the energy of dragons.
00:10:10No one can change that.
00:10:11You cannot deny him his right to stand trial.
00:10:15Anastalia's right.
00:10:17Ivan carries the energy of dragons.
00:10:19No one here can deny that.
00:10:20In that case, I have a proposal.
00:10:22Ivan, intense confrontation me.
00:10:24One bout.
00:10:25If you can defeat me,
00:10:26or even manage not to lose too disgracefully,
00:10:29I, on behalf of Dimitri, the royal court, and Ivan here,
00:10:32will support your entry into the trial.
00:10:34How about that?
00:10:36Fine.
00:10:38You fool.
00:10:40Challenge yourself in public.
00:10:41I'm going to enjoy this.
00:10:44What's the contest?
00:10:46A dragon warrior proves himself in the sky.
00:10:49Ivan, we race.
00:10:51First to reach the highest peak of Dragonspine Mountain.
00:10:54Isn't this just a flying race?
00:10:56Ivan's already lost.
00:10:57Fine.
00:10:58We accept.
00:11:01The eldest daughter of House Varanoth.
00:11:04Has she lost her mind?
00:11:10Lord Dimitri is truly the most promising heir of this generation.
00:11:14And that Volkov reject?
00:11:16My little princess.
00:11:17It's not too late to regret this.
00:11:19Just apologize to me, and I'll forgive you.
00:11:28Impossible.
00:11:29A wingless dragon.
00:11:31How could he grow wings?
00:11:33But those are real dragon wings.
00:11:34There's no mistaking them.
00:11:36What do we do?
00:11:37He's been faster than me since we were children.
00:11:39Relax.
00:11:40If we're winning, we challenge them in public.
00:11:42If it looks like we'll lose, we cut them down mid-flight.
00:11:45After we say they use dark magic.
00:11:47After all, what else could possibly regrow Severn Wings if not dark magic?
00:11:51No one here will dare object.
00:11:54Begin!
00:12:06No.
00:12:07No.
00:12:10Oh, no.
00:12:15I can't.
00:12:23Hello.
00:12:37Maxim? What's he doing here? He should be rotting away in the fallen city!
00:12:46Damn it! That bitch must have freed him!
00:12:49This is bad!
00:13:03Maxim. I knew you would come.
00:13:11How did you know he'd help us?
00:13:14Because he's the one who cut off your wings. He wants redemption. Just like I do.
00:13:35Dmitri, according to our agreement, as long as Ivan wins, you support his entry into the Royal Air Trial.
00:13:41Honor your word, and I won't press charges for your strike.
00:13:50It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Dmitri strike them.
00:13:55To think the first air Dmitri would stoop to something like this.
00:13:59Everyone, hear me out.
00:14:02House Voronov has studied magic for generations, and the only thing that can regrow a severed dragon's wings is forbidden
00:14:08magic.
00:14:13We did not strike without cause. Anastalia has broken the law. She used forbidden magic.
00:14:20According to our code, she should be detained immediately.
00:14:24Forbidden magic?
00:14:27Katarina, you say I used forbidden magic. But is there a single person in this hall who doesn't know that
00:14:34I'm only a low-level mage?
00:14:37How does a low-level mage cast spells that only a high-level mage it can even touch?
00:14:42I can't pronounce the first syllable of those incantations.
00:14:50It is indeed common sense that a low-level mage cannot cast forbidden magic.
00:14:56Quite right. If you're going to accuse someone, at least produce proper evidence.
00:15:01Acts to Lord Ivan Volkov. As thus the recipient of the spell, he bears no legal responsibility.
00:15:07I believe everyone here is well aware of that.
00:15:11As for who casts the spell on Lord Ivan, if necessary, I will cooperate fully with the investigation.
00:15:18But the most urgent matter now is to allow Lord Ivan to participate in the royal heir cost.
00:15:24Anastasia, thank you.
00:15:26I will investigate this matter thoroughly.
00:15:30Until then, Ion Volkov is provisionally added to the list of heir candidates for the trial.
00:15:41Then now, the trial begins.
00:15:46The Fallen City is no longer content to snulk in the shadows underground.
00:15:51According to reliable intelligence, evil dragons are amassing an army preparing to wage war on Dragonspike City.
00:15:59And the human noble Mikhail Chernyshov has secretly pledged himself to the Fallen City.
00:16:04The first trial task. Find evidence of Mikhail Chernyshov's treason. Whoever secures that evidence passes the trial.
00:16:11Mikhail Chernyshov. Just like the last life. Exactly the same.
00:16:16This time, let's see. Without me, can you two still get the evidence? Just you wait.
00:16:25No. Stop.
00:16:28What are you doing? Let go of me.
00:16:31Stay still. Do you want to pass the trial or not?
00:16:35No.
00:16:47What?
00:16:50Seen enough?
00:16:50Just as I thought.
00:16:52A face this delicate, in women's clothes, you're practically prettier than I am.
00:16:56Damn it.
00:16:57Why am I actually angered by this?
00:16:59What exactly are you planning?
00:17:01What does dressing me up like this have to do with the trial?
00:17:03If I remember correctly,
00:17:04three nights from now, Mikhail will be selecting a dance partner from among the noble daughters.
00:17:09For the royal ball.
00:17:11We'll enter his estate as candidates for the selection.
00:17:18You want me to seduce him?
00:17:20Are you out of your mind?
00:17:22Even I was stunned when I saw you.
00:17:25Mikhail won't be able to walk straight once he gets a look at you.
00:17:29But why me?
00:17:32Forget it.
00:17:32If you're not willing, I'll go myself.
00:17:37There's really no other way?
00:17:39Mikhail's cautious about everything except women.
00:17:41This is the best option we've got.
00:17:43Fine.
00:17:44Your magic hasn't recovered yet.
00:17:46I'll do it.
00:17:50So, what's the plan?
00:18:02Look, it's House Voronov's youngest.
00:18:05Just as breathtaking as they say.
00:18:08If even she's here to compete, the rest of us are nothing but wallpaper.
00:18:14This is all because of that madwoman, Anistia.
00:18:16I don't know what the hell's gotten into her.
00:18:18If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to challenge yourself seducing Mikhail.
00:18:21As long as our plan succeeds,
00:18:24a small sacrifice like this is nothing.
00:18:34Ivan, why would you pay such a price to help me?
00:18:37This is challenge, isn't it?
00:18:39Don't get the wrong idea.
00:18:40I'm doing this so I can pass the trial.
00:18:43And here I thought you were worried about me.
00:18:46Got my hopes up for nothing.
00:18:48I'm grateful you helped me grow my wings.
00:18:50But they were mine to begin with, weren't they?
00:18:53We're just...
00:18:54partners.
00:18:56Fair enough.
00:18:59So...
00:19:02Let's make this partnership work.
00:19:04The evidence is in Mikhail's study.
00:19:06And the only key to that study is on his person.
00:19:10Get him drunk.
00:19:11Get the key.
00:19:12I'll meet you in the study.
00:19:14Mikhail Chernyshev.
00:19:15Last life.
00:19:16I paid a steep price to help you find evidence for Dimitri.
00:19:21In my last life, I went through hell sneaking into House Chernyshev's estate.
00:19:25Found the letters he hid in his desk.
00:19:27But what I didn't notice back then were the magic traps hidden in the very air.
00:19:31I fought with everything I had to escape.
00:19:33But what happened next, I never saw coming.
00:19:36Sister.
00:19:38You worked so hard.
00:19:40What a shame.
00:19:41I'll be telling Dimitri that I was the one who went through all this trouble to find this evidence.
00:19:45Back then, I thought Katarina had simply stolen my credit.
00:19:49Now I see.
00:19:50You two were in on it together from the start.
00:19:55Isn't that Anastasia?
00:19:57Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:19:58Wasn't she cast out of her house?
00:20:01That bitch.
00:20:02Of course she showed up.
00:20:04So what if she came?
00:20:05This time, luck won't be on her side.
00:20:08Sister.
00:20:09What are you doing here?
00:20:11You've been cast out of the family.
00:20:13You really shouldn't be showing your face at an occasion like this.
00:20:17Indeed.
00:20:17A commoner.
00:20:18Mingling with nobility.
00:20:20And where's Ivan?
00:20:21Did he not bother to follow you?
00:20:22Has that useless bastard already tossed you aside now that he's got the inheritance?
00:20:26Anastasia, I can give you one more chance.
00:20:29Apologize.
00:20:29Help me get close to Mikhail.
00:20:31When I become lord, I'll make an exception.
00:20:33Let you stay by my side.
00:20:34As a maid.
00:20:35Dimitri.
00:20:36Have you forgotten?
00:20:38The day you knelt before me, begging for my hand.
00:20:41What did I say to you?
00:20:43You're not worthy.
00:20:48That bitch is getting bolder by the day.
00:20:51Relax.
00:20:51As long as I'm here, Mikhail won't even see her.
00:20:53I've already won this round.
00:20:58House Varanoff's daughter truly lives up to her name.
00:21:00No one's outshying her tonight.
00:21:03Such a shame.
00:21:04The younger sister's so extraordinary, while the elder...
00:21:07Sister, ever since we were children, you've always hated dancing and etiquette.
00:21:11So tell me, what do you have to compete with me now?
00:21:19Landy Katerina.
00:21:22May I have the honor of invite you to be my dance partner at next week's Royal Ball?
00:21:28Once I get that key, this game is mine.
00:21:30I would be delighted.
00:21:37Whose maid is this?
00:21:39What do you expect?
00:21:41A lie with no manners hires servants.
00:21:44Just as lowborn.
00:21:45How dare you behave so disgracefully as a maid?
00:21:48Remove your veil and apologize to Lord Mikhail.
00:22:00My lord, forgive my rudeness.
00:22:02Good heavens!
00:22:03Where did she find an ally that beautiful?
00:22:06That wretched!
00:22:07So she never planned to compete against me herself?
00:22:15This beautiful young lady is?
00:22:17My personal maid.
00:22:19She lacks training.
00:22:19I apologize for the embarrassment, my lord.
00:22:24No embarrassment at all.
00:22:27I wonder, might I invite this maid to be my dance partner instead?
00:22:32Of course.
00:22:33Being chosen by Count Michiel is an honor for her.
00:22:40Mikhail?
00:22:41You would choose an ally to challenge me?
00:22:43This feeling.
00:22:45Why does it feel so familiar?
00:22:46Oh my.
00:22:47Is this the first time the second young lady of House Varanov has been challenged?
00:22:50A celebrated noblewoman losing to a rough ally girl who couldn't even show her face.
00:22:55Just who is that maid?
00:22:56That face.
00:22:57It's utterly extraordinary.
00:22:59This scene.
00:23:01Why does it feel like I've witnessed it before?
00:23:03Have you all forgotten?
00:23:04Just days ago at the Dragonspike City proposal, Lord Dimitri was left standing on that stage in exactly the same
00:23:09way.
00:23:10Little sister, you didn't actually think I was trying to compete with you myself, did you?
00:23:23Impossible.
00:23:25Absolutely impossible.
00:23:28What are you doing?
00:23:29You still don't see it?
00:23:31That maid is Ivan Volkov in disguise.
00:23:41Are you telling me I lost to a man?
00:23:44That damn bitch.
00:23:46She never planned on competing against me herself from the very start.
00:23:50No wonder she dismissed me so completely outside.
00:23:54So in other words, we were both publicly challenged by the same woman and the same man.
00:24:01Anastasia, I am not done with you.
00:24:05Lady Anastasia, might I take this maid with me now to instruct her in proper etiquette?
00:24:11Her manners are still somewhat unpalmished and I would hate to lose face at the royal ball.
00:24:16But surely that wouldn't be entirely proper.
00:24:18She isn't here as a candidate.
00:24:19In return, as of today, you are an honoured guest of House Chernyssef.
00:24:23Even if House Voronok no longer shelters you, the doors of the Chernyssef estate will always be open to you.
00:24:27Of course.
00:24:28Count Mikhail, by all means.
00:24:30My lord, do make sure to discipline her thoroughly.
00:24:33She's very shy.
00:24:35I'm feeling rather tired.
00:24:37Would the count be so kind as to arrange a guest room for me to rest?
00:24:42Everyone, feel free to take your leave after the banquet.
00:24:58Since you want to send Ivan into the Lion's Wren, let me help you seal the deal.
00:25:07I wonder how Ivan is holding up.
00:25:13What happened?
00:25:14Did he do anything to you?
00:25:15It went smoother than I expected.
00:25:17He drained most of the wine bottle, his gaze growing bleary and unfocused.
00:25:21Staggering unsteadily over, he stumbled forward, only to collapse heavily onto the couch, never able to rise again.
00:25:28Good.
00:25:30Strange.
00:25:31Last time I had to go through so much trouble just to get him drunk.
00:25:35Is she worried about me?
00:25:37Or just the key?
00:25:38I got the key.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:46Just as I thought.
00:25:48Only this key can open that cursed door.
00:25:53What is-
00:25:53Don't rush.
00:25:54That's a high-level forbidden curse.
00:25:56One touch, and every trap in this study activates at once.
00:26:00Good thing I'm a high-level mage now.
00:26:03I can break it.
00:26:04It'll just take time.
00:26:07Good thing Dimitri warned me.
00:26:09Otherwise, you two little rats would have gotten away with it.
00:26:13Damn you, Dimitri. I never thought you'd sink so low as to ally with Mikhail just to get revenge on
00:26:17me.
00:26:18Anastalia, surrender yourself and your maid without a intense confrontation.
00:26:22I'll have my fill of you two first. Only then shall I grant you a swift death.
00:26:35Ivan, buy me time to break this trap.
00:26:41Still putting up an intense confrontation?
00:26:44Nobody moves.
00:26:45Watch and learn.
00:26:46Let me show you how I play with them.
00:26:50Didn't expect a little wench like you to be this good.
00:26:55No.
00:26:55What's happening?
00:26:56My head.
00:26:57Something inside me is boiling.
00:26:59I can't hold it back much longer.
00:27:01Ivan, look out!
00:27:04Ivan?
00:27:05What did you just call him?
00:27:06Isn't that the youngest son of House Volkov?
00:27:09But, isn't that a man?
00:27:14The woman in the council was a man?
00:27:17Tell me, do you think nothing actually happened in that room?
00:27:20So it's that wingless waste of space.
00:27:23Dressed up like a woman, you're actually more approached than the real thing.
00:27:26Tomorrow I'll sell you off to Fallen City?
00:27:28A Dragon Lord candidate?
00:27:30I can't even imagine what you'd fetch.
00:27:32But before that, I have a debt to collect for the challenge you've put me through.
00:27:37Guards, strip him!
00:27:39You dare!
00:27:41Get your hands off him!
00:27:42No!
00:28:00Impossible.
00:28:02Impossible.
00:28:04Anastasia is just a low-level mage.
00:28:06How could she break a high-level forbidden curse?
00:28:08Hurry!
00:28:09Grab them!
00:28:09Otherwise, we're all dead!
00:28:12Ivan!
00:28:13Are you okay?
00:28:14Are you hurt?
00:28:16What's wrong with him?
00:28:17Could the rampage be setting in?
00:28:26Drugging Ivan's wine.
00:28:28Turns out that was a remarkably effective move.
00:28:34Ivan!
00:28:36Ivan!
00:28:36Where are you?
00:28:38Ivan!
00:28:40Calm down, it's me.
00:28:43Why isn't my soothing working?
00:28:51You are just using me, aren't you?
00:28:55You were the one who had my wings severed back then.
00:28:58You were the one who put me in a maid's dress and sent me to seduce Michelle.
00:29:04From the very beginning, I've been nothing but a pawn in your hands.
00:29:07You're just using me to get revenge on Dimitri.
00:29:12Anastasia.
00:29:13No matter how you struggle, in the end, you're still my plate.
00:29:18So it was you two.
00:29:20That's right.
00:29:21We're the ones who drugged Ivan's wine.
00:29:23He planned this from the start, using Mikkel to wear us down, hiding in the shadows, waiting
00:29:28to pick up the pieces.
00:29:29This is my fault.
00:29:30I got arrogant because I had my past life memories.
00:29:32I underestimated them.
00:29:34However, I can offer you a chance.
00:29:38Hand over what you stole from Mikali and I'll let you both go.
00:29:45A seal this strong, it has to be the real thing.
00:29:49Now that we have what we came for, no need to keep up the act.
00:29:54I've always been better than you at everything.
00:29:56But just because you're the eldest, everything was yours.
00:29:58The marriage alliance was yours.
00:30:00The title was yours.
00:30:01Even Mother favored you more, when I was the obedient one.
00:30:05The one who did everything right.
00:30:06Are you finished?
00:30:08Since you refused to walk the path we laid out for you,
00:30:11I'll find you another destination.
00:30:14The dragons in Fallen City are always in need of playthings to soothe their rage.
00:30:19Different method, same result.
00:30:22Dimitri, you'd better defeat me now.
00:30:25Because if you don't, you will regret it.
00:30:28We don't need to do it ourselves.
00:30:30If the console investigates, it'll bring trouble.
00:30:35A bizarre dragon.
00:30:36Defeat Anastadia in a fit of madness?
00:30:39Yes, that would be perfectly believable.
00:30:52Darling, you really are brilliant.
00:30:56No, they're still a way.
00:31:00Ivan, look at me.
00:31:02You are not forsaken.
00:31:04Do you hear me?
00:31:05You are not...
00:31:07Ivan Volkov, will you form a pact with me?
00:31:11From this day forward, become my exclusive contractor.
00:31:36You're awake.
00:31:37How are you feeling?
00:31:39I'm fine.
00:31:42Just magic exhaustion.
00:31:44A few days of rest and I'll be back to normal.
00:31:47Between us?
00:31:49Did we form a pact?
00:31:51The situation was desperate.
00:31:53I had no other choice.
00:31:55Once our partnership ends, the pact can be dissolved.
00:31:58Don't overthink it.
00:32:03As your contractor, for as long as this pact endures, I swear on my life, I will protect
00:32:08you and I will never betray you.
00:32:10I never thought the walls between us would come down like this.
00:32:15How long was I unconscious?
00:32:16It's been three days.
00:32:18Three days?
00:32:19Today is the final deadline for the trial.
00:32:21We have to get to the Dragonhalis now.
00:32:24But our evidence was taken by Dimitri.
00:32:26Going there is pointless.
00:32:36I never took just one letter from Mikkel's drawer.
00:32:41I knew from my past life.
00:32:43One was the secret correspondent with Fallen City.
00:32:45The truly damning evidence of treason.
00:32:48The other was his personal diary and love letters with noblewomens in the city.
00:32:53Only discovered much later.
00:32:54You tricked them.
00:32:56What you gave them were the love letters.
00:33:00Compared to treason, that list of husbands recorded in those love letters, that's what
00:33:05will truly bury Mikkel beyond any hope of recovery.
00:33:09And Dimitri's probably missed Nounden.
00:33:12Dimitri's probably already furious.
00:33:16Let's go to the Dragon Palace.
00:33:19Today, it's our turn to flip the board.
00:33:22Consul, here is the ironclad proof of Mikkel Chernyssov's treason.
00:33:34Arrest Mikkel Chernyssov.
00:33:37Immediately.
00:33:40Ivan Volkov.
00:33:41First trial.
00:33:43Passed.
00:33:47That bitch.
00:33:49She's still alive.
00:33:51That bitch.
00:33:54With a seal this strong, it had to be the secret letter.
00:34:00Sis!
00:34:05Anastasia!
00:34:06According to the secret letter, Mikkel has long been collooning with Roman Crovely of
00:34:11Fallen City.
00:34:11Under the guise of select a royal dance partner, the two of them secretly sold participate noblewomens
00:34:16to Fallen City for those evil dragons who reject human soothing to formably extract their
00:34:21magic.
00:34:22Therefore, the second trial task is hunt down Roman Crovavi, he who brings back his head.
00:34:29Roman Crovavi, human trafficking?
00:34:31In my previous life, Dimitri never mentioned this.
00:34:35When Dietrich submitted the letters before, they never contained any of this.
00:34:38Did he deliberately hide this part?
00:34:40Or, he's been connected to Fallen City from the very start.
00:34:44He went to all that trouble, drugging us, setting a trap, desperate to steal those letters.
00:34:48It was never just about passing the trial.
00:34:50You're thinking about Roman Crovavi, aren't you?
00:34:53No.
00:34:54I'm thinking about Dimitri.
00:34:56And Katerina.
00:34:58I suspect they're connected to Fallen City.
00:35:03In my previous life, just how blind was I?
00:35:06I didn't notice a single thing.
00:35:08What's our next move?
00:35:09Go to the console for help?
00:35:12No proof.
00:35:13Empty words.
00:35:14Accusing them rashly will only tip them off.
00:35:17The only thing we can do right now, find Roman Crovavi first, capture him, and we pass the
00:35:23second trial.
00:35:24And besides, from his mouth, we might just pry out the thread connecting Dimitri to Fallen
00:35:30City.
00:35:31If Roman and Dimitri are truly already in league, then won't every step we take from here be
00:35:35on a board they've already set?
00:35:38I thought this was just simple revenge.
00:35:40See the enemy clearly, build up strength, pay back energy with energy.
00:35:44I never imagined Dimitri would be this vile.
00:35:46Now we have no choice but to find Maxim.
00:35:49As long as we have him, we still have a chance.
00:36:00As long as we have him, we still have a chance.
00:36:20Long time no see, Maxim.
00:36:31Anesthesia.
00:36:32What are you doing here?
00:36:34That sword strike last time.
00:36:37It already repaid my debt for cutting off Ivan's wings.
00:36:40I don't owe you people anything anymore.
00:36:41Cost me a great deal to find you.
00:36:44Maxim.
00:36:45I need your help.
00:36:47What Dimitri is brewing is far worse than any of us imagined.
00:36:51Between him and Fallen City...
00:36:52Enough!
00:36:54I've heard enough of your lies.
00:36:56I know you've broken with Dimitri.
00:36:59I know everything you're doing now, it's all for revenge against him.
00:37:03I'm not going to be like that fool Ivan letting you use me as a pawn.
00:37:06Listen, my sword.
00:37:08From this day forward will only be swung for the common people.
00:37:13Think what you will.
00:37:14I won't force you to change how you see me.
00:37:19I only ask that you hear me out.
00:37:22Fallen City has a secret dungeon.
00:37:25Inside, countless girls are held as magic sacrifices,
00:37:28enduring torments worse than fall, day after day.
00:37:31If you truly still believe in the code of knighthood,
00:37:34then this time, I hope we can intense confrontations side by side,
00:37:37and get them out.
00:37:40I really have changed, Maxine.
00:37:43I need you.
00:37:49Wait!
00:37:53I wonder, will this even work?
00:38:02I'm only agreeing to rescue the captured girls.
00:38:05Everything else, revenge, the throne, dragonhide politics, I want no part in it.
00:38:10You just do what you need to do.
00:38:12Leave the rest to me.
00:38:13How do you plan to find them?
00:38:14Roman Kroravi.
00:38:16I've heard that name before, in my past life.
00:38:18That black drag, he was originally a noble of Dragonspike City.
00:38:22He once had a contractor named Elena.
00:38:25Later, Elena abandoned him, for reasons unknown.
00:38:28From that day on, he chose the path of corruption.
00:38:30He started kidnapping human women obsessively,
00:38:34as if trying to fill the void she left.
00:38:36Even after Mykeel's crimes came to light and he fled,
00:38:40women kept disappearing along the border.
00:38:42Roman's hunt never stopped because of Mykeel.
00:38:46Wait.
00:38:46Don't tell me you're planning to use yourself as bait again.
00:38:49Lately, there have been rumors along the Dragonspine City border.
00:38:52Girls going missing in a certain area.
00:38:54I want to try my luck.
00:38:56No.
00:38:57It's too dangerous.
00:38:58Let me go in your place.
00:38:59Just like last time.
00:39:00Absolutely not.
00:39:02Dragons can sense each other.
00:39:05You can't replace me.
00:39:06You can't even be part of this operation.
00:39:08Ivan.
00:39:09Maxim will be there.
00:39:11I will absolutely not come to harm.
00:39:13Wait for me at the castle.
00:39:17They should be taking the bait by now.
00:39:30Hello, beautiful princess.
00:39:32I am Roman Crawley.
00:39:34May I form a pact with you?
00:39:36I can't move.
00:39:37His power is monstrous.
00:39:39So that's Roman.
00:39:40He came himself.
00:39:41This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
00:39:44One word from me.
00:39:46And Maxim's sword will find his throat.
00:39:48He'd never dodge it in time.
00:39:49But if I defeat him now, those kidnapped girls stay trapped in that dungeon.
00:39:54And whatever thread connects Dimitri to Fallen City dies with him.
00:39:58Go on.
00:39:59Give the order.
00:40:00If you do, I'll know every word you've said was a lie.
00:40:03You came looking for me.
00:40:05Only for yourself.
00:40:07From the beginning.
00:40:08Just give the order.
00:40:09Show me who you really are.
00:40:12Cat got your tongue?
00:40:13Beautiful lady.
00:40:15May I form a pact with you?
00:40:17Maxim.
00:40:18I know you're watching.
00:40:20Then let me show you exactly what my resolve looks like.
00:40:27She didn't give the order.
00:40:28She could have defeat him.
00:40:31Has this woman truly changed?
00:40:33Or has her mask become so perfect I can no longer see through it?
00:40:43Found them.
00:40:44The kidnapped girls.
00:40:45They're all here.
00:40:47Hey.
00:40:48What's wrong?
00:40:49Wake up.
00:40:55Who are you?
00:40:57Don't be afraid.
00:40:58Tell me.
00:40:59How did you all end up here?
00:41:01We were all seduced by Roman.
00:41:05They put us on a stage and auctioned us off like emergency.
00:41:08Some of the buyers, they're even human nobles.
00:41:11The ones nobody bids on.
00:41:13They drain every last drop of magic and leave us here to rot.
00:41:21Someone will come for you.
00:41:23I promise.
00:41:25Maxim.
00:41:26What are you following?
00:41:28Did you trap me?
00:41:32You came.
00:41:33Now hurry.
00:41:34Get these girls out of here.
00:41:37Are you sure about this?
00:41:39The moment Roman finds these girls gone, he'll be on alert.
00:41:41You won't get anywhere near him after that.
00:41:44Won't get whatever it is you came here for.
00:41:46There it is.
00:41:47When it comes down to it, she hesitates.
00:41:49Rescue.
00:41:50Redemption.
00:41:51When there's something on the table, true nature always shows itself.
00:41:55Open the cells.
00:41:56Get them out.
00:41:57Now.
00:42:06I never thought she would...
00:42:10Descendant of a dragon slayer.
00:42:12Reduced to being a dog for that kind of woman.
00:42:21The same person.
00:42:23Just a few years.
00:42:25And it's like she's someone else entirely.
00:42:30What about you?
00:42:31Come with us.
00:42:33Withdraw to Dragonspine City.
00:42:34First.
00:42:35I'm not leaving.
00:42:36What did you say?
00:42:37I said...
00:42:39I'm not leaving.
00:42:41I've come too far.
00:42:43Paid too much just to get to this point.
00:42:45Dimitri finally slipped up and showed his hand.
00:42:47If I walk away now, the thread to Roman is cut for good.
00:42:50He wants me gone?
00:42:52Well, I'm not going anywhere.
00:42:53Let's see who blinks first.
00:43:05Follow me.
00:43:07Maxim, did you find the person you used to be?
00:43:15Where is everyone in this dungeon?
00:43:24I'll ask again.
00:43:26Where is everyone in this dungeon?
00:43:33I've already left.
00:43:38You freed me.
00:43:40Then tell me.
00:43:42Where did those escaped girls go?
00:43:49I wouldn't know.
00:43:50My dear Lord Roman, I'm a high-level mage, you fool.
00:43:54Cheap tricks like that don't work on me.
00:43:56She resisted my charm?
00:44:00You dare do this to me?
00:44:02Don't you know I'm the most dangerous assassin in all of Fallen City?
00:44:06Assassin?
00:44:07All I see is a pathetic man who got dumped.
00:44:10And defeat me?
00:44:12Lord Roman.
00:44:13Your losses would be irreplaceable.
00:44:17Lord Roman, surely you've noticed by now.
00:44:20My magic reserves are higher than all those others combined.
00:44:24Which means, sell me and you recalp every last run of your losses.
00:44:28Interesting.
00:44:29In that case, I'll grant your wish.
00:44:32And sell you for the highest price possible.
00:44:35Wait!
00:44:36I want a bath first.
00:44:37And proper rest.
00:44:39What makes you think I'd grant such a ridiculous request?
00:44:43Looking like this, I won't fetch a good price.
00:44:46I'm thinking of your interests.
00:44:49Besides, aren't you afraid I'll run off again?
00:44:52Interesting.
00:44:54Then tell me, why haven't you run already?
00:44:58Isn't it obvious?
00:45:00I'm utterly captivated by Lord Roman's breathtaking face.
00:45:04Completely unable to help myself.
00:45:13What is wrong with this man?
00:45:15He imprisons me, then insists I wear this old dress.
00:45:19Just bear it.
00:45:20Dimitri's lead is still in his hands.
00:45:23Lord Roman.
00:45:25This dress suits me quite well.
00:45:30Something on your mind, Lord Roman?
00:45:32Shut up.
00:45:37Look at me.
00:45:40Didn't you just tell me to shut up?
00:45:44You're just like her.
00:45:45Turn your back, so don't go on your back the second things go your way.
00:45:48Oh, Mus, what is it?
00:45:50Whatever you want to say, just say it.
00:46:03Elena.
00:46:05Elena.
00:46:06Where have you been all these years?
00:46:09No, you're not her!
00:46:14Elena.
00:46:16The name of his former contractor, if I remember right.
00:46:20But why did he call me Elena?
00:46:26Wait.
00:46:28Let me ask you something.
00:46:30Why does he call me Elena?
00:46:32I...
00:46:33I don't know.
00:46:36Before he passed out drunk, he called out that name.
00:46:39Whatever you know, tell me.
00:46:42Because you look exactly like her.
00:46:44After Elena abandoned him, he started kidnapping human women.
00:46:46Always looking for ones who resembles her.
00:46:48Even just a little.
00:46:49The eyes, the hair, the voice.
00:46:51If there's the slightest resemblance, he won't let them go.
00:46:54But someone like me is identical.
00:46:56I've never before identical to Elena.
00:46:58So that's it.
00:46:59No wonder he looks at me like that.
00:47:00All along, he's been looking through me at someone else's shadow.
00:47:03But how could such a coincidence be possible?
00:47:06Never mind.
00:47:06This face, Roman's weakness, and also a key.
00:47:09Revenge leads the second test.
00:47:11Maybe I can use all of it.
00:47:20This late?
00:47:21Where is he sneaking off to?
00:47:43So many girls.
00:47:45All gone in a single night.
00:47:46You can't even keep a few caged women under control?
00:47:49Without those girls as a source of magic,
00:47:52how am I supposed to make the scum of Fallen City
00:47:54keep intense confrontation, my dramatic showdown willingly?
00:47:57Mitri, it really is you.
00:47:59Colluding with Fallen City, trafficking humans, all of it.
00:48:02It was my oversight.
00:48:05Oversight?
00:48:06Forget it.
00:48:07It's not the first time you've disappointed me.
00:48:09Still haven't learned your lesson from Elena?
00:48:10Roman is so proud.
00:48:12Why would he be this devoted to scum like Dimitri?
00:48:23Roman, your taste in partners is truly a nimble.
00:48:26A pig like this nearly ruined everything.
00:48:29The secret correspondence revealed,
00:48:31the trial launched ahead of schedule,
00:48:32and that bitch Anisteria still alive.
00:48:35It's all because of him.
00:48:36Mercy, not Dimitri!
00:48:37Clean it up.
00:48:44Dispose of the body properly.
00:48:46No more screw-ups.
00:48:49Don't make a sound.
00:48:50Don't get caught.
00:48:51I need to find proof.
00:48:53Something to nail Dimitri with.
00:48:57Eavesdropping is a very bad habit,
00:49:00my dear princess.
00:49:04Didn't I tell you?
00:49:06You are not allowed to wander around.
00:49:11Dammit, it was Dimitri's challenge earlier.
00:49:14It triggered his dragon energy.
00:49:16He's going into a rampage.
00:49:18No choice.
00:49:19I have to calm him down.
00:49:21Now.
00:49:31Elena.
00:49:33Why?
00:49:34Why did you abandon me?
00:49:40I loved you so much.
00:49:42Look,
00:49:43I've kept what you gave me all this time.
00:49:48Then why did you abandon me?
00:49:52You deserve to die.
00:50:04What the hell was that?
00:50:11Is Katerina?
00:50:13The portrait?
00:50:14Is of Katerina?
00:50:17Now I understand.
00:50:18There never was an Elena!
00:50:20Katerina disguised herself as Elena.
00:50:22She approached him, formed a pact, gave him warmth and tenderness,
00:50:26then threw him away with her own hands.
00:50:29And that's how he became this, corrupted into Dimitri's personal tool.
00:50:34Dimitri, I finally know exactly how to overwhelm you.
00:50:41Last night, that kiss, I mistook her for Elena?
00:50:47You have a full wish.
00:50:48Who gave you the nerve to impersonate her?
00:51:02She's already dead.
00:51:08She's already dead.
00:51:09Dimitri found her.
00:51:11Defeat her right in front of me.
00:51:16And that's why you willingly work for him?
00:51:20You just ask me why I look so much like Elena.
00:51:24I'll tell you why today.
00:51:26Because Elena never existed.
00:51:29Elena is my sister.
00:51:31Katerina, Dimitri's current fiancé.
00:51:34Which is why she and I look so much alike.
00:51:37From the very beginning there was no Elena.
00:51:40Elena, only a face.
00:51:41A lie.
00:51:43Your corruption, your suffering, all those years of bitterness and longing.
00:51:47Nothing more than a scheme hatched in fallen cities.
00:51:52You almost had me convinced.
00:51:58Unfortunately, Lord Dimitri also told me something interesting.
00:52:02His rival for the throne has also come here.
00:52:07He said,
00:52:08If I find you,
00:52:12take your head to him.
00:52:13Immediately.
00:52:14You had Dimitri's defeat order from the very beginning.
00:52:17But you didn't defeat me.
00:52:19And you didn't hand me over.
00:52:21Why?
00:52:22Because even after everything Elena did to you,
00:52:25you still hold on to hope for her, don't you?
00:52:28Otherwise, you never would have kept me alive.
00:52:30You wanted to make me her replacement.
00:52:33To soothe your fragile pride.
00:52:36You're courting fall.
00:52:38Defeat me.
00:52:40And you truly will never know the truth.
00:52:42How about I give you a suggestion instead?
00:52:45Hand me over to Dimitri.
00:52:47And in return,
00:52:49I'll give you back Elena.
00:52:52Alive.
00:52:53My life is already in your hands anyway.
00:52:55You have nothing to lose from this deal.
00:52:58Oh, one more thing.
00:52:59Dimitri apparently didn't tell you.
00:53:01The second trial for the royal hair candidates
00:53:03is to hunt down Roman Crovermy.
00:53:05Whoever brings back your head passes.
00:53:08Take a guess.
00:53:09Would Dimitri hand you over for the throne?
00:53:14You'd better not be lying to me.
00:53:19Otherwise,
00:53:20your fall will be exceptionally painful.
00:53:33Esteemed Lord Dimitri,
00:53:35the person you wanted,
00:53:37I have captured her for you.
00:53:41Anastasia.
00:53:43Finally,
00:53:44you've run out of ways to cause me trouble.
00:53:47Dimitri,
00:53:47I never imagined.
00:53:49It was you,
00:53:50collusing with Fallen City.
00:53:51What exactly are you trying to do?
00:53:53What I want to be,
00:53:56is the king of humans and Dragonhielder Light.
00:53:59As expected of Fallen City's sharpest blade.
00:54:02But now,
00:54:05you're no longer useful.
00:54:12Don't bother struggling.
00:54:14I poisoned you long ago.
00:54:25everything taken care of?
00:54:29Elena.
00:54:30Elena.
00:54:31Elena.
00:54:31Elena.
00:54:31Elena.
00:54:31Elena.
00:54:32Elena.
00:54:35Elena.
00:54:35Your name is Katerina Voronova.
00:54:38The very Elena you've believed to be dead all these years.
00:54:44So,
00:54:46you've been deceiving me
00:54:47this whole time.
00:54:52That's right.
00:54:53We were deceiving you the whole time.
00:54:57To think.
00:54:58You never figured it out.
00:55:01All this time.
00:55:03Every kinsek I spent pretending with you.
00:55:06Made me sick.
00:55:09Such a pity,
00:55:10Roman.
00:55:10You were my sharpest blade.
00:55:12But you've been exposed.
00:55:14And conveniently,
00:55:16I need your head to turn this game around.
00:55:20I'll kill you.
00:55:29Roman's been dealt with.
00:55:31Now,
00:55:31it's your turn,
00:55:33Anastasia.
00:55:34Time to show you the price of betraying me.
00:55:39Anastasia is a noble woman.
00:55:41The magic within her is more than enough.
00:55:45I'm giving her to you.
00:55:47Enjoy yourselves.
00:55:48Thank you,
00:55:49my lord.
00:56:03You made it.
00:56:07Impossible.
00:56:08A dragon slayer.
00:56:10And a dragon?
00:56:11Together?
00:56:23You're hurt.
00:56:24How do you feel?
00:56:25I'm fine.
00:56:26How did you find me?
00:56:27It was the pact bond between us.
00:56:28I could feel it.
00:56:30You were in danger.
00:56:31Maxim Kuznetsov.
00:56:33You were once the mightiest knight in Dragonspike City.
00:56:37Swear feality to me.
00:56:40And I will bestow upon you a station far greater than you ever held before.
00:56:46Why?
00:56:47Throw your lot in with such worthless scum and make an enemy of me.
00:56:52She has done unforgivable things.
00:56:54But her backbone is far stronger than you could ever imagine.
00:57:02We can't stay here.
00:57:03The evil dragons in Fallen City could wake at any moment.
00:57:05Reinforcements will come.
00:57:06We have to leave before we're surrounded.
00:57:09Maxiv, bring Roman.
00:57:25That bitch got away again.
00:57:27And Roman's still alive.
00:57:28If he wakes up, if he ever wakes up, he'll spill everything about us.
00:57:31Relax.
00:57:32He won't wake up.
00:57:34I use the deadliest poison there is.
00:57:36And I've thought of a way to make her wish she'd never been born.
00:57:41Why didn't you just hand him over to the consul?
00:57:43You could have passed the second trial.
00:57:46He is guilty.
00:57:47But he's also a victim of Dimitri's schemes.
00:57:51He can die.
00:57:52But absolutely not right now.
00:57:54The moment we hand him over, Dimitri will urge the consul to execute him immediately.
00:57:58Once he's dead, there's no one left to testify against Dimitri!
00:58:03Compared to the throne and the fate of Dragonspine City,
00:58:06that's nothing anymore.
00:58:09The consul has summoned us.
00:58:11Both you and me.
00:58:13Immediately.
00:58:14And he specifically demanded we bring Roman.
00:58:16So Dimitri already reported back that I took Roman with me.
00:58:25This isn't poison.
00:58:26It's some kind of curse.
00:58:28And it's beyond my ability to break.
00:58:30Then what do we do?
00:58:31If that's the case, let's just hand Roman over.
00:58:34He's dying anyway!
00:58:34Wait.
00:58:36I remember in my previous life, I was hit with a curse just like this.
00:58:40In my previous life, when I was studying forbidden magic, I was cursed.
00:58:48And then, someone appeared.
00:58:56Bellamy.
00:58:57I remember now.
00:58:58His name is Bellamy.
00:58:59I remember now.
00:59:01I met him once.
00:59:03A long time ago.
00:59:05In the forbidden section of the library.
00:59:07I saw with my own eyes.
00:59:09He dispelled a curse of the highest order.
00:59:11With a flick of his fingers.
00:59:14Bellamy, he could dispel the most powerful curses like it was nothing.
00:59:17There's no one stronger on this entire continent.
00:59:20Too bad.
00:59:21Back then, he told me not to help Dimitri.
00:59:24I didn't listen.
00:59:27Maxim, I'll give you the address.
00:59:29Take Roman to that ancient library.
00:59:31Whatever it takes, find Velmir.
00:59:34Make him save him.
00:59:35I will.
00:59:41You and I, we go see the consul.
00:59:43We stall for as long as we can.
00:59:45Buy Roman the time he needs to come back alive.
00:59:57Consul, I formally accuse Anastasia of treason!
01:00:01Yes.
01:00:01When we had Roman Crovsey cornered and surrounded,
01:00:04she suddenly appeared and used magic to cover his escape.
01:00:08Where's your proof?
01:00:10This is the last remaining memory stone on the continent.
01:00:13It records events exactly as they current.
01:00:22You're twisting the truth!
01:00:23Dimitri is the one colluding with Fallen City!
01:00:25Is that so?
01:00:26Then tell me, where is Roman right now?
01:00:30Bring him in.
01:00:32I'll talk, I'll talk!
01:00:33Roman and Anastasia have a deal.
01:00:35She gathers intel for him.
01:00:37She helps him evade capture.
01:00:38I heard it with my own ears!
01:00:39The footage, the witness, the timing.
01:00:41Every piece fits perfectly.
01:00:43This was improvised.
01:00:44It was laid out long ago.
01:00:46Anastasia, hand over Roman Crovsey.
01:00:50Consul, what the footage shows
01:00:52is not me helping him escape.
01:00:54It shows me saving him from Dimitri
01:00:56before the only witness could be silenced for good.
01:00:59Once Roman awakens,
01:01:00I will personally bring him before you.
01:01:03And when that moment comes,
01:01:05I won't be the only one standing trial.
01:01:10Consul, I have one more question.
01:01:13All she has to do is hand over Roman,
01:01:15and the second trial is passed.
01:01:18The throne would be just a single step away.
01:01:21Yet Anastasia would rather throw away
01:01:24a throne within her grasp
01:01:25to protect a hired killer from Fallen City.
01:01:29Don't you find that a little unnatural?
01:01:33Indeed.
01:01:34My sister's devotion to this evil dragon is excessive.
01:01:38It makes one wonder
01:01:39what exactly is the nature of your relationship.
01:01:42Anastasia, hand over Roman Crovsey immediately.
01:01:45Otherwise, you will face the harshest of punishments.
01:01:48Consul, I have something to say.
01:01:52I was taken by Roman's men,
01:01:54held in the dungeons of Fallen City.
01:01:55It was Anastasia who opened the cell door.
01:01:58She used what little magic she had left
01:01:59to revive my dying companion.
01:02:01So I, and every other girl she saved,
01:02:04believe Anastasia is no traitor.
01:02:06I swear it on my family's name.
01:02:09Very well.
01:02:10Seven days.
01:02:11You have seven days to produce Roman Crovsey.
01:02:13But until that deadline,
01:02:15Anastasia and Ivan Volkov
01:02:17are to be confined to the castle
01:02:18and placed under house arrest.
01:02:19Neither of you shall set foot outside.
01:02:20Thank you, Consul.
01:02:26Maxive should have found Valemma by now.
01:02:29I hope everything goes smoothly.
01:02:32Dimitri won't sit back and do nothing.
01:02:34I'm wondering what his next move will be.
01:02:43Why are we here so late?
01:02:45That look on her face.
01:02:47That defiance.
01:02:48I suspect Roman might still be saved.
01:02:51We have to defeat Roman.
01:02:53Tonight.
01:02:58Right on time.
01:03:00I'll only ask once.
01:03:02Where is Roman?
01:03:03Hand him over and I might still spare your lives.
01:03:06You're in such a hurry to get to him.
01:03:09Afraid he'll wake up.
01:03:10Or afraid of what he'll say.
01:03:12Two paths.
01:03:13Hand over Roman.
01:03:14Or you and he both die here tonight.
01:03:18The guards outside the castle are all Dimitri's men.
01:03:21Afterwards, we simply announce,
01:03:23you two fled to avoid justice.
01:03:25No one will ask questions.
01:03:28Hold on to me.
01:03:30Tight.
01:03:44Run.
01:03:46Run.
01:03:51Run.
01:03:53Run.
01:04:06AIMON!
01:04:14Maxim, next time we meet, you won't still be standing here.
01:04:26Where are they? Why didn't you bring them back?
01:04:28Maxim showed up. I know better than anyone what that man is capable of.
01:04:33That's why back then, since I couldn't defeat him in a straight, intense confrontation,
01:04:36I set it up so Anastasia gave the order with her own mouth, selling him into Fallen City.
01:04:41I thought those evil dragons would finish the job.
01:04:43But no, they wanted to take their time torturing him.
01:04:46And now that living disaster remains.
01:04:48But even Maxim's can't stop a city-wide Wanted Order.
01:04:51Anastasian even ran. In the Consul's eyes, that's fleeing to avoid prosecution.
01:04:55Tomorrow morning, I go to the Consul. The Wanted Order goes out. Defeat on sight.
01:04:59The strongest rival for the throne eliminated.
01:05:06Don't move around. I'm treating your injuries.
01:05:08Does treatment require this?
01:05:10This bath is connected to an underground magic hot spring.
01:05:13You need full immersion to restore your depleted magic reserves.
01:05:16What about Ivan? Is he alright?
01:05:18Resting next door. Dimitri's dragon fire pierced his wing membrane, but it's not severe.
01:05:27And Roman?
01:05:28Also here. The curse is halfway lifted. The rest will take time.
01:05:33More importantly, how do you know me? And how did you know I would be here?
01:05:39How am I supposed to explain this to him?
01:05:45I see. So you used time magic.
01:05:49I've already seen, in your eyes, everything that's happened to you.
01:05:54How long have I been unconscious? What's happening out there?
01:05:58Three days. In those three days, things outside have spiraled.
01:06:02Fallen City has launched a full-scale war against Dragonspike City.
01:06:05Maxim went out scouting. The news he brought back is worse.
01:06:10The Consul has issued a formal order.
01:06:12You and Ivan are declared traitors and conspirators.
01:06:15Defeat on sight.
01:06:20What?
01:06:21What about Roman? How is he?
01:06:28Why is my heart racing? Is it the mark, or...?
01:06:33Lady Anastasia, your body is far from healed. Please don't move around recklessly.
01:06:40They said it was just treatment. What exactly is going on here?
01:06:45Uh, Roman's awake!
01:06:52Never thought I'd see the day.
01:06:55The mighty Miss High and Mighty Homeless, just like me.
01:06:59Done laughing?
01:07:01Then let's get down to business.
01:07:03Fallen City has launched a war.
01:07:05Dimitri is now the wartime commander of Dragonspine City.
01:07:08Your life belongs to me now, so tell me everything you know.
01:07:12Since you saved my life.
01:07:18Upon Dimitri Volov's coronation as king, Roman Krovati shall assume absolute control over all of Fallen City.
01:07:24That bastard! He's been planning this from the very beginning.
01:07:27But here's the problem. The entire city has wanted orders out on us. We can't even get through the palace
01:07:32gates.
01:07:34I once served the founding king of Dragonspeak City. This token will grant you an audience with the console.
01:07:41The enemy's offensive is relentless. Our priority now is selecting a suitable Supreme Commander.
01:07:46Lord Dimitri is the wartime commander. By rights, he should...
01:07:49No!
01:07:55Guards! Arrest these traitors and conspired-ers!
01:08:00Stand down.
01:08:05Consul, please, look at this.
01:08:07Roman Krovati. Is what is written here true?
01:08:09Dimitri Volkov made her energy pact with me. Upon his coronation as king, I would rule Fallen City.
01:08:14The kidnapped girls. Those who died in the dungeons. He knew about all of it.
01:08:21He promised it would all be forgiven the day he took the throne.
01:08:24Dimitri Volkov! What do you have to say for yourself?
01:08:33Consul, I stake my honor on this. That letter is a forgery. The magical traces on it have been tampered
01:08:39with.
01:08:40Father, giving false testimony for Dimitri?
01:08:43Consul, as everyone knows, Lord Dimitri has won victory after victory on the battlefield.
01:08:48How could a man who has repeatedly repelled the evil dragons possibly be conspiring with Fallen City?
01:08:53My eldest daughter has always been reckless and notorious. Her accusations are absolutely not to be trusted.
01:08:59Roman Krovavi shall be taken into custody for now.
01:09:02As for the contract's authenticity, it shall undergo separate verification.
01:09:13I've done everything I can.
01:09:18What's wrong, my dear? You look so troubled.
01:09:21Father, there's something I know if I should tell you.
01:09:24Lord Dimitri has infiltrated Fallen City multiple times to gather intelligence.
01:09:28In order to obtain critical information, he was forced to establish certain dealings with people within the city.
01:09:33Now my sister is using those forced dealings to frame him. He has no way to defend himself.
01:09:39Father, I am already betrothed to Dimitri.
01:09:42If he is convicted, your daughter and all of House Voronov will be dragged down with him.
01:09:47Were Dimitri's dealings back then truly unavoidable?
01:09:52I stake my life on it.
01:09:55I understand. I will find a way.
01:10:03Sister.
01:10:07You're still no match for me.
01:10:15By law, you too must be taken into custody.
01:10:19However, you bear Lord Vellomer's personal seal until the truth is fully established.
01:10:25The Wanted Order is temporarily rescinded.
01:10:38Dimitri is winning dramatic showdown after dramatic showdown on the front lines.
01:10:42The console is preparing to name him Supreme Commander once the evil dragons are repelced, and after that, coronation as
01:10:48king.
01:10:49How long do we have?
01:10:52At this pace, ten days at best, two weeks at worst, he'll be the youngest king Dragonsbone City has ever
01:10:56seen.
01:10:57You need to understand. Those victories aren't Dimitri's doing.
01:11:01Fallen City is deliberately losing to him, feeding him victories to build up his war record.
01:11:07I'm done waiting.
01:11:09I'm going to petition the consul to be sent to the front lines.
01:11:13You are petitioning to be deployed to the front lines?
01:11:17I too am Anastadia, Consul and General of Dragonspoke City.
01:11:21In times of war, when every hand is needed, I offer mine.
01:11:24Consul, I too am willing to set aside personal grievances.
01:11:28In wartime, when every willing soul is needed, anyone who wishes to intense confrontation for Dragonspine City should be welcomed.
01:11:35Besides Anastasia's magical expertise, the front lines could genuinely use it.
01:11:41Approved.
01:11:41Thank you, Consul.
01:11:45Why did you just give her that opportunity?
01:11:47She wants to go to the front lines?
01:11:48Perfect.
01:11:50Assign her to the most remote, most supportive position. No supplies, no reinforcements.
01:11:54No one cares whether that patch of dirt she's guarding lives or dies.
01:11:58The rest, leave to the evil dragons.
01:12:01It won't be me who defeat her. It will be the war.
01:12:05I'm simply placing her where the war is hungriest.
01:12:12Oh my god. This is even worse than I imagined.
01:12:16Don't know why they sent a traitor to command us.
01:12:19Who's the traitor?
01:12:20Ivan Volkov, our new commander.
01:12:22The former wingless dragon. Tch. If only the commander were Demi-Miritri.
01:12:30From this moment on, I am taking command of this defense line.
01:12:36They don't trust you. So show them.
01:12:50When I was a boy, I threw a stone at a knight too.
01:12:53He stood before the entire village, blocking an evil dragon's path.
01:12:58I thought he was just showing off, so I threw a rock at his back.
01:13:01He looked back at me. Didn't curse. Didn't stop walking.
01:13:05Later, he died in that dragon's jaws.
01:13:07No one ever guarded that village gate for him again.
01:13:10Commander, there's a supply convoy heading this way, along the eastern side of the gorge.
01:13:14A supply convoy? Whose?
01:13:17Looks like evil dragons. There's only a dozen of them.
01:13:20If we cut down from the side slope...
01:13:22How long have you been stationed here?
01:13:24Almost two years.
01:13:25Two years? And in all that time, have you ever seen a supply convoy set up a forward supply point
01:13:29on the very front line?
01:13:31This is the front line.
01:13:34A supply convoy doesn't run supply routes right under the noses of evil dragons unless something's wrong.
01:13:39It doesn't add up.
01:13:40I was the one who spotted that convoy, that route, that timing.
01:13:45It was a fat prize, practically delivered on a plate.
01:13:48And that woman, she forbidden us from going.
01:13:53Commander's Lord Ivan. What's that woman got to do with anything?
01:13:56The whole city's been saying it. She's in league with the evil dragons.
01:14:01And now, I see it's true.
01:14:05Lord Ivan went to patrol the western section tonight.
01:14:08He's not here. We're going ourselves.
01:14:29Empty. It was empty from the start.
01:14:38The trenches have emptied out.
01:14:40At least a dozen men gone. None of the night water at their posts.
01:14:45Dammit.
01:14:46Get Ivan. We're moving.
01:15:01Get out of here. Forget about us. It's not a supply car, Vaughn. It's a trap.
01:15:09You first. Get back alive.
01:15:21Get me up there.
01:15:50Dmitry Volkov to the Gorge Ambush Unit.
01:15:52Dmitry Volkov to the Gorge Ambush Unit.
01:15:52Dmitry Volkov to the Gorge Ambush Unit.
01:15:52Encircle the eastern side of the Gorge.
01:15:54Targets. Three individuals. Leave no one alive.
01:15:58Got it. This is ironclad proof now.
01:16:00This is solid evidence. Harder to deny than the blood contract.
01:16:03Let's survive first. Evidence in a dead man's hand is worthless.
01:16:27This letter will be sent back to Dragonspike City. Until the Consul sees it, this defense line is ours to
01:16:36hold.
01:16:36Now, I want to fight alongside you all and defend Dragonspike City together.
01:16:42Before this reaches Dragonspike City, you have the right to see what's in it first.
01:16:48Written in Dmitry Volkov's own hand, addressed to the evil dragons of Fallen City.
01:16:54It says very clearly he wants the evil dragons in their next assault to kill me, kill Ivan, and kill
01:17:01every single soldier on this defense line.
01:17:03That can't be. Lord Dmitry is the overall commander of the-
01:17:06There's more. He also wrote, he will deliberately weaken Ivan's defense line.
01:17:09Let the evil dragon army break through here. And when they do, he'll be in position at the rear to
01:17:14meet them, inside and out, in perfect cordials.
01:17:16He wants to use us as the breach.
01:17:22Maxiv, take this letter to the Consul. Put it in his hands yourself.
01:17:26If I go, what about you all here?
01:17:29Don't worry. We'll hold.
01:17:32You heard it. Starting tonight, everyone stays sharp. Guard posts doubled.
01:17:40I'll concentrate the remaining forces here. If that supply carvoid really was bait, their attack rector won't change.
01:17:49We've got trouble. Big trouble.
01:17:53Outside, it's crawling with evil dragons.
01:18:02Dmitry can't wait any longer.
01:18:10Why hasn't Magnus returned yet?
01:18:16What did the Consul say?
01:18:18The letter was delivered.
01:18:20But the moment it was presented, a frontline victory report arrived. Dmitry has won another major battle.
01:18:25The Consul read the victory report.
01:18:28Then tossed the letter into a drawer beside him.
01:18:30And I was escorted out by his ejection.
01:18:33He didn't read it?
01:18:37The Consul didn't even look at it!
01:18:43Maxiv, the dragon slaughter. Why the long face?
01:18:47Haven't you heard?
01:18:48I am the Supreme Commander now. Just appointed.
01:18:51I annihilated the main force of the evil dragons.
01:18:54A decisive victory on the front.
01:18:56The Consul himself bestowed the title.
01:18:58So anything you say now, no one will believe.
01:19:04Lord Dmitry, a blessing to Dragonspike City.
01:19:12He calculated everything.
01:19:15The timing of the victory report, the timing of the appointment, every step ahead of ours.
01:19:20Duke Vladimir was there too.
01:19:22He publicly praised Dmitry as a blessing to Dragonspike City.
01:19:25The letter is no longer in the Consul's hands.
01:19:28This round, we can only count on ourselves.
01:19:34Weren't you going to request reinforcements? What happened?
01:19:37The commanders of the three neighboring positions.
01:19:40I went to each one.
01:19:43They all said the same thing.
01:19:45The main force of Logan's already been wiped out by Dmitry.
01:19:48There can't possibly a large force here.
01:19:50We are falsifying battlefield reports.
01:19:53Sure one, and that picks two laughed at us.
01:19:54Said we can't even take down a single supply, Carve.
01:19:56And we still have the nerve to ask for reinforcements.
01:19:58And there's suspicion from above that we're in collusion with the enemy.
01:20:01And I picture one, two want to hold us accountable.
01:20:04So, we just die in this hellhole?
01:20:08We're leaving.
01:20:10The moment we abandon this position, we walk right into Dmitry's trap.
01:20:14It can't be held.
01:20:16Dmitry sends no reinforcements, no supplies.
01:20:18He wants us trapped here until we're dead.
01:20:21Dying here is exactly what he wants.
01:20:24Staying alive.
01:20:26That's how we turn this around.
01:20:28Where do we go?
01:20:29Velomark.
01:20:30He will have a way to help us.
01:20:32And the defense line?
01:20:33Let Dmitry have it.
01:20:35When the evil dragons are at the city gates.
01:20:38When those people up high see the truth with their own eyes.
01:20:41That's when they'll regret it.
01:20:44All of us.
01:20:45Together.
01:20:46No one stays behind.
01:20:56Don't look back.
01:20:57Move.
01:21:06You were right.
01:21:09Staying alive, that's how you turn it around.
01:21:23Consul, urgent report from the front.
01:21:25Anastasia has abandoned her post and withdrawed her entire force.
01:21:27The eastern front, seventh position.
01:21:29Stands empty.
01:21:31Anastalia, dares to desert her post?
01:21:33How could sister do this?
01:21:34The console gave her a chance.
01:21:35How could she betray your trust like this?
01:21:37Indeed.
01:21:37She has betrayed your trust.
01:21:38Betrayed every soldier bleeding on the front lines.
01:21:41A wanted order is issued immediately.
01:21:43Kill on sight.
01:21:45Consul.
01:21:46The eastern front, seventh position, cannot escape.
01:21:48Don't be left undefended.
01:21:49Allow me to lead my forces and take over her post.
01:21:52Granted.
01:21:55At last, everything I've wished for is within my grasp.
01:21:59Finally, it will all be over.
01:22:03Right now, all of Dragonspine City sees you as traitors.
01:22:07Wanted posters cover every wall of the city.
01:22:10Wouldn't be the first time.
01:22:12I'm only asking one thing.
01:22:14Do you have a way to stop Dimitri?
01:22:18Anastastia, why should I help you?
01:22:21I've already helped you people many times.
01:22:23This time, what do you have to offer?
01:22:28If I remember correctly, in the eastern traditions there's a certain rule.
01:22:32Have you heard of it?
01:22:33A man who accidentally sees a man's body
01:22:36must take responsibility for her.
01:22:45What are you two talking about?
01:22:52There is... a way.
01:22:55The reason I never leave this library
01:22:58is not that I can't.
01:23:00It's that I mustn't.
01:23:02Beneath this library, an undead legion lies sealed.
01:23:05I fought alongside the first king of Dragonspine City.
01:23:08Side by side, through blood and fire, we carved out this land.
01:23:11When the war ended, what to do with this army became...
01:23:13a problem.
01:23:15They cannot be killed.
01:23:16They cannot simply be disbanded.
01:23:18In the end, the king and I made a pact.
01:23:20I would give up my freedom and use myself as the curse that binds them here.
01:23:23But, if you need them, I can make them rise again.
01:23:36Dmitri Volkov has led our forces to the complete annihilation of Fallen City.
01:23:41That festering den of lawlessness that plagued Dragonspike City for so long
01:23:44has been wiped from existence.
01:23:46Today, we crown him Guardian of Dragonspike City,
01:23:49Supreme Wartime Commander, and soon to be...
01:23:52Consul! Urgent report from the border!
01:23:54A massive force of evil dragons has broken through the defense lines!
01:23:57They're burning and slaughtering everything in their path,
01:24:00heading straight for the capital!
01:24:06Dmitri!
01:24:09Dmitri!
01:24:14Why... Dmitri... you...
01:24:17You should have died a long time ago.
01:24:21Seal the doors!
01:24:31Dmitri!
01:24:31Dmitri!
01:24:54Dmitri!
01:25:22Dmitry, just you wait.
01:25:39Katerina, I am your father. Spare me.
01:25:46Katerina.
01:25:50Monster. A monster worse than any beast.
01:25:55Anastasia, I was wrong. Your mother, your mother, she...
01:26:11Dmitry, your good days are over.
01:26:15What a coincidence. I was just about to come looking for you, and here you are, walking right into your
01:26:21own depths.
01:26:23Anastasia. Do you know what your mother looked like before the poison took her?
01:26:27Dmitry, she knelt before me. Begged me to spare you.
01:26:32Tears streaming down her face, snot running from her nose...
01:26:37No different from any of those lowborn human wretchels.
01:26:41And you? What can you do? Your reinforcements have already been annihilated by me.
01:26:46Those worthless soldiers of yours can't even take down a single supply caravan.
01:26:50Did you really think...
01:26:53Can't you see I'm busy?
01:26:54The evil dragon army! Outside the city, they've encountered the Undead Legion!
01:26:58We don't even know where they came from! They're everywhere!
01:27:00They can't be killed! Can't be burned!
01:27:02Our forces outside the city have been completely wiped out!
01:27:05Say that again. What you just said, say it again.
01:27:09You... What did you say?
01:27:13It's over, Dmitry.
01:27:15Shut up!
01:27:17You started the party without me?
01:27:21It's rare to be free of that seal for a while. Might as well have some fun.
01:27:33A true warrior abides by the Knight's Code. Fight me one-on-one if you dare!
01:27:40Ivan Volkov. Just you. Do you dare?
01:27:47Knight's Code? Dmitry, you must have me confused with someone else.
01:27:50I've never once claimed to be a knight. Everyone in Dragon Spy City knows me.
01:27:54I'm arrogant, willful, and I don't play fair.
01:27:58Maxim, go. End him.
01:28:03.
01:28:05.
01:28:06.
01:28:07.
01:28:08.
01:28:24Sister. Sister.
01:28:26Did Dmitry force me to do it? I'm a victim, too!
01:28:38she's yours to deal with don't worry i'll make sure she pays back every last debt
01:28:45one by one
01:28:53you know i once loved you so much
