Short filmTranscript
00:00:04As my husband, I've lost count of how many times Sassi has paraded his ally right in front of me.
00:00:11Of course, tonight is an exception.
00:00:15He thinks I'm visiting relatives in the country.
00:00:18He hasn't the faintest idea.
00:00:20Little does he know, this is where my revenge begins.
00:00:26Parasites.
00:00:30Since everyone's wearing a mask, no one knows who's who.
00:00:42So if you can mess about right in front of me,
00:00:48why shouldn't I do the same?
00:00:57That woman's back. Looks awfully familiar.
00:01:04Stay the night with me. What do you say?
00:01:08I'm just an ally, my lady.
00:01:09We're all...
00:01:10Why let rank spoil the fun?
00:01:15A noblewoman luring to be with these kind of trash.
00:01:19Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:01:35Ooh...
00:01:39Ooh...
00:01:40How are you...
00:01:51I'm actually pregnant
00:01:56That man certainly knew how to put on a show
00:01:59As long as Scar believes this child is his
00:02:02Everything my grandfather left me will eventually be mine again
00:02:06My lady, I've come to change your bedding and your rag
00:02:10Why now of all times?
00:02:12Just a moment
00:02:14Scar hasn't touched me in six months
00:02:16Before I announce the pregnancy, I need him to sleep with me one more time
00:02:21Melris, the carriage is waiting
00:02:24If we're late for the victory banquet
00:02:26The blame falls on you
00:02:31You're getting completely out of hand
00:02:32What the devil are you doing in here?
00:02:37Sneaking around
00:02:38What are you up to?
00:02:41Nothing
00:02:42Why are your hands behind your back?
00:02:44You're standing on it
00:02:47Throwing your filthy rags on the floor like this
00:02:50Disgusting
00:02:54Forgive me, my lord
00:02:55I was just about to tidy the room and change her ladyship's rags
00:02:58Wait outside
00:02:59I'll get dressed and be right out
00:03:00Hurry it up
00:03:13Feed me another one
00:03:19My lord
00:03:21I prefer the curtains drawn
00:03:23If you cared so much about appearances
00:03:25You shouldn't have brought her into the carriage
00:03:28Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric
00:03:32If you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your entire
00:03:38life
00:03:39Exactly
00:03:40I'd defeat for a chance to go inside
00:03:42You've no right to complain
00:03:43If it weren't for my merchant fortune, you wouldn't even be able to afford this carriage
00:03:47You'd have to go roll around in the dirt
00:03:51I never want to hear you say that again
00:03:53Don't forget
00:03:54The deeds and shops your grandfather left behind all belong to me now
00:04:01Let me help you cool off, my lord
00:04:04Grandfather must have been blind to leave everything in his hands
00:04:08Don't give me that look
00:04:09As long as we play the happy couple
00:04:12My cousin will think I'm a respectable man
00:04:15And the northern ration contracts will stay in my hands
00:04:34General
00:04:35His majesty has sent word
00:04:36The banquet is about to begin
00:04:38The time of controlling the illusions is getting shorter
00:04:41Still not found that woman?
00:04:43There were too many people that night
00:04:44We're still screening them
00:04:45After that night, the hallucinations stopped for two whole days
00:04:52And it was only with her
00:04:53Keep digging
00:04:59Be a good girl and wait in the carriage
00:05:01I'll be back right after the banquet
00:05:06My lady, after you
00:05:11Is that Vatret Skur's wife?
00:05:13I heard she's a merchant's daughter
00:05:16No wonder she lacks class
00:05:18Look at you
00:05:19Go and beg Lilith to swap dresses with you
00:05:22Stop embarrassing me here
00:05:27Count Horn
00:05:28It's been too long
00:05:30Looking as dashering as ever, I see
00:05:39I'd rather be thrown out than beg her for anything
00:05:44My apologies, my lady
00:05:45But we cannot allow you inside dressed like that
00:05:48I know
00:05:48That's why I need to borrow your sword for a moment
00:05:51Please don't make a scene here, ma'am
00:05:53I... I just...
00:05:56Use mine
00:06:05It's the man from the masquerade
00:06:09General, sir
00:06:09The general?
00:06:12Soska's cousin is him?
00:06:13If you keep, my lady, you'll be late for the banquet
00:06:18Thank you, general
00:06:25Actually looks better than before
00:06:29You flatter me, general
00:06:30Just a quick fix
00:06:32I'll see you inside
00:06:41That woman
00:06:42Why does she feel so familiar?
00:07:03Erik Hohenheim
00:07:04The Empire will forever remember your triumphs in the North
00:07:08My life for the Empire
00:07:10He looks as though he's in pain
00:07:14Rumor has it he'd defeat people just for fun since he's been back
00:07:18You always take matters into your own hands
00:07:20Stay away from me whilst I make my rounds tonight
00:07:22I don't want people thinking I've married a tailor's daughter
00:07:29Perhaps he's not what the rumors say
00:07:33A toast to you, general
00:07:37It's getting worse
00:07:40No
00:07:41I need to find Edward
00:07:42See if they've brought any spare prisoners
00:07:47Cousin!
00:07:48The party's just starting
00:07:49What's the rush?
00:07:51What is it?
00:07:52Oh, nothing much
00:07:53Just notice the requisition orders for the border rations have paused lately
00:07:57The North is secure, sure
00:07:59But our garrisons out there eat through supplies fast
00:08:01We can't let the transport stop
00:08:02To save the front lines some coin
00:08:04I've been keeping prices rock bottom for years
00:08:07I hardly make a dime
00:08:12So regarding the rations contract
00:08:19Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight while I was on the front
00:08:25We only secured the area a month ago
00:08:26Yet when I dressed as an ally
00:08:28And slipped into your estate
00:08:30Your little masquerade was quite the lavish affair
00:08:32General!
00:08:33I believe you are mistaken
00:08:37The heavy snows blocked the northern passes
00:08:40Many merchant guilds refused to go near the border
00:08:43Even if it meant taking a loss
00:08:45Scar hosted that ball simply to plesifate the gang leaders
00:08:48Yes, yes, exactly
00:08:49All for the empire
00:08:51You're defending him
00:08:54Just stating the facts
00:08:55And what are you to him?
00:08:57His wife
00:08:59So was the lady of the house present
00:09:01At the masquerade that night?
00:09:08You misunderstand me, General
00:09:10I'm merely speaking up for my husband
00:09:12As for the masquerade, I wasn't there
00:09:14I was visiting my aunt in the country
00:09:15So you're not worried about your husband fooling around behind your back?
00:09:19You cut off his contracts
00:09:21And publicly challenge him over a single party
00:09:23Are you going to interrogate our marriage now, too?
00:09:35Forgive my intrusion
00:09:38General!
00:09:40I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days
00:09:43If it's the same garbage as before
00:09:46Then you're done with the northern contracts
00:09:48Forever
00:09:49Yes, yes, of course
00:09:50I'll redraw everything
00:10:00A stroke of luck, actually
00:10:03There's no way Scar can come up with a new plan
00:10:05If I use this to make him sleep with me again
00:10:08Then you can stay
00:10:09Loud and clear
00:10:14Good thing you had one on standby
00:10:22General, please let me go
00:10:24I'm just a foot soldier
00:10:26I was following orders
00:10:27My girl is waiting for me back home
00:10:30Please, no, please
00:10:35Crimson Raven
00:10:39General
00:10:41Why haven't you found the woman from the masquerade yet?
00:10:46Do we even have prisoners left to kill?
00:10:49He's been looking for me since that night
00:10:51I'm quite sure you can handle the consequences
00:10:56Who's there?
00:11:06Crimson Raven
00:11:07Why haven't you found her yet?
00:11:09Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:11:14What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:19A cold-blooded monster
00:11:21He actually thinks he's some hero of the Empire
00:11:23Don't be angry, my lord
00:11:25Have some wine
00:11:28A cold-blooded monster
00:11:30And I'm feeling his child
00:11:32If he finds out I only used him for his spirit
00:11:34He'll tear me to pieces
00:11:36No
00:11:36The plan of his fate can start
00:11:45Women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories
00:11:48Those who want to get pregnant with someone else's child
00:11:51And those who want to get rid of their own
00:11:53Which one are you?
00:11:54The latter
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs
00:11:59I need to go fetch them
00:12:10There's a gentleman in the back room
00:12:11Who claims he's being haunted by the dead
00:12:13If you hear him ring the bell
00:12:15Do me a favor and toss some of this incense into the burner for him
00:12:24Let go
00:12:25Let go
00:12:26What are you doing?
00:12:30What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:42What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:47I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months in such a rush to have a baby
00:12:52You're awfully invested in other people's private matters, general
00:12:56Get out
00:13:00I caused the burn
00:13:01The least I can do is treat it
00:13:03It's not necessary, leave the medicine, I'll do it myself
00:13:05You can't exactly reach your own back
00:13:15What a perfect body
00:13:17Do you usually tend to your own mark, general?
00:13:20Yes, I don't like people touching my body
00:13:23Apologies
00:13:24This might sting a bit, general
00:13:26All done
00:13:27Hold on
00:13:27Have you seen it before?
00:13:31Never
00:13:31Is that so?
00:13:33I think it would suit you perfectly
00:13:37General, please mind your boundaries
00:13:40Her scent exactly the same
00:13:49Changed your mind?
00:13:50If the man inside asked what I was doing here, tell him the exact opposite
00:13:57He has the earring
00:13:59If he finds out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself
00:14:02I need to end this
00:14:03Fast
00:14:07How is there so much of this?
00:14:12Caravans, tariffs, wares housing
00:14:15That lunatalk wants me to reorganize everything in two days
00:14:17Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Exement?
00:14:20Don't be so grumpy, my lord
00:14:22Besides, selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time
00:14:26What do you know?
00:14:28I refuse to end up like my father
00:14:30Eating through his fortune till nothing was left but the title of a broke nobleman
00:14:41But I suppose you have a point
00:14:43What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:49Gently
00:14:51I can't keep the baby
00:14:53I can't keep it
00:14:57Did you hear?
00:14:58The alley is starting to sell off the family estates
00:15:01But those belong to her ladyship's grandfather
00:15:05Where did you hear that?
00:15:07My lady
00:15:07What is going on?
00:15:10The ally said that the northern contracts are likely gone
00:15:13So he's selling off assets early to cover our expenses
00:15:16Ska?
00:15:24Ska, we need to talk
00:15:30Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:33Don't stop
00:15:34You picked a bad time
00:15:37If you still want the northern contracts, tell her to get out
00:15:41You have a logistics plan?
00:15:43I said, tell her to get out
00:15:48Ska?
00:15:52Get out
00:15:54Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:56We're both women
00:15:56I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation me for him
00:16:00Not necessarily
00:16:05Spill it
00:16:06What's your play?
00:16:08I already have a solution for the northern supply routes
00:16:11Tomorrow I'll go with you to see Eric
00:16:14You seem different today
00:16:17You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice
00:16:20Save it
00:16:20If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better
00:16:23On the condition that you stop selling off the grandfather's estate
00:16:29Deal
00:16:32But wait
00:16:33What is it?
00:16:35You're more beautiful
00:16:37Intoxicating
00:16:38More?
00:16:39But let me tell you
00:16:40My name is Ska
00:16:41Ska Alphronzis
00:16:44That was close
00:16:52Wait
00:16:52Is that her ladyship?
00:16:54Breath?
00:16:55Are you crazy?
00:16:56How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:58Ska
00:16:59Ska
00:17:00Gently
00:17:01I'm telling you for so much
00:17:03Wait, wait
00:17:04I think I heard it too
00:17:10Don't do that
00:17:11Did you hear?
00:17:12Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally
00:17:16I thought he never touched her
00:17:17It's true
00:17:21Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:25Finally over
00:17:27If he tries to sell my inheritance once, he'll do it again
00:17:30How much worse can things possibly get?
00:17:33I'm risking it
00:17:35It's not as if I have any other way out
00:17:45You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:53That was rape
00:17:55Rape?
00:17:56Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:57Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Banknett?
00:18:00A merchant's daughter
00:18:01Shameless as expected
00:18:03Your grandfather's entail is clear
00:18:05Only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops, lands and granaries
00:18:10But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that
00:18:13What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:14Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:17You bitch!
00:18:18Don't celebrate just yet, Melis
00:18:20Once you secure those northern contracts for me, you'll be completely useless
00:18:23I'll make you wish you were dead
00:18:29Two days
00:18:32Interesting
00:18:32Seems you haven't been slacking after all
00:18:36Of course
00:18:37How could I neglect a direct order from the general?
00:18:40I poured my energy, sweat and tears into this
00:18:43But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:47Well, because... because that port is... narrow
00:18:51Right? The roads are terrible
00:18:53I hear it's the largest port in the entire empire, did you not know that?
00:18:56Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently
00:18:59The caravans are critical military ranchers for the north
00:19:01If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling
00:19:04The delays would starve the northern garrisons within three weeks
00:19:06That's why we must reroute through the eastern waterways
00:19:09Although it adds four days to the journey
00:19:12But at least it's secure
00:19:21Fascinating
00:19:21It seems you aren't the real businessmen in the Alfonson family, Scott
00:19:24No, that's not true
00:19:25A lot of the other routes were my idea
00:19:28I hate being lied to
00:19:30Next time it'll be your throat on the end of this blade
00:19:34Close one
00:19:35Looks like he still hasn't recognized me
00:19:37The northern contracts are yours, fine
00:19:39But she has to be involved
00:19:41But cousin!
00:19:42Get out
00:19:45Lady Melis
00:19:47I didn't say you could leave
00:20:06Melis Valentine
00:20:07Melis Valentine
00:20:07Your grandfather built a fine business
00:20:09Yes, but a merchant's a merchant.
00:20:12The Alfronzi's family's fallen shore, but they still have have a title.
00:20:16You married him. Give and take.
00:20:19Must be humiliating, though.
00:20:26If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave.
00:20:31The North is secured, but the Empire's still surrounded.
00:20:34I need talent.
00:20:35Join my staff.
00:20:37Good pay, and I'll help you take back everything Scuss-Soul.
00:20:40Something's off.
00:20:42You flatter me, General, but I'm just a woman. Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:47Because the perfume you wear...
00:20:51It smells just like someone.
00:20:53Someone I can't forget.
00:20:55My perfume costs three silver coins.
00:20:58Half the girls in the city wear it.
00:21:00I enjoy a good play in my spare time.
00:21:02I've been working on one lately.
00:21:03A husband steals his wife's inheritance, flaunts his affair,
00:21:06so the wife, to masquerade, takes a stranger to bed.
00:21:09Right under his nose.
00:21:10What do you think, my lady? Better than what's on at the theater?
00:21:13You've missed your calling, General. Should have been a playwright.
00:21:16Put them on. Then I'll know.
00:21:19General, please.
00:21:20I just want to be sure.
00:21:24Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:29Both.
00:21:30Let go! Have you lost your mind?
00:21:34This madman, he can't find out.
00:21:40What's that?
00:21:44The great general, assaulting his cousin's wife and his own whole empire would be ashamed.
00:21:48Find someone else for your staff, General.
00:21:59My lady, the Allies celebrating the Northern Deal.
00:22:02He's taken Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge and chose not to wait for you.
00:22:08Fine.
00:22:10Earrings gone, scars gone.
00:22:12At least tonight I get some peace.
00:22:16General!
00:22:17Are you alright? What happened here?
00:22:23Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:25Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:31It's a long way.
00:22:33My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest.
00:22:38Damn it!
00:22:42General!
00:22:43Where are you going?
00:22:44To see her.
00:22:45Now.
00:22:50The Valentine's Crest!
00:22:53The Valentine's Crest!
00:23:03Awake?
00:23:04Good.
00:23:06I don't like them cold.
00:23:10Get off!
00:23:12Get off!
00:23:16You bitch!
00:23:18This guy said you were a handful.
00:23:19He was right.
00:23:20I like that.
00:23:24Help!
00:23:26Help!
00:23:30Stop!
00:23:32Keep yelling, sweethearts.
00:23:34There's no one here.
00:23:36Just you and me.
00:23:38Me.
00:23:47A real lady.
00:23:49Worth every penny.
00:23:51Come here.
00:23:54Why?
00:23:55How did it come to this?
00:23:58I just wanted back what was mine.
00:24:06You dare.
00:24:07You dare.
00:24:11Are you?
00:24:15Who the hell the hell are you?
00:24:19How did you?
00:24:27Get a carriage
00:24:28General, she's still Vadraska's wife
00:24:31Taking her like this, is that wise?
00:24:33You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:38What a pain
00:24:40First he cancels the party
00:24:41Now we're rushing back in the rain
00:24:43Clever move, my lord
00:24:45Catch the bitch red-handed
00:24:47Of course, even if she is pregnant
00:24:49Who knows whose bastard it is
00:24:51She'll never touch my inheritance
00:24:58Why have we stopped?
00:24:59Scar alfrancis
00:25:00Burglars!
00:25:09Protect the master!
00:25:16Cousin, what are you doing here?
00:25:18Three sentences
00:25:19Explain
00:25:21I took everyone to the hunting lodge
00:25:23There must be some misunderstanding
00:25:24Two
00:25:25She's my wife
00:25:26This is a family matter, you shouldn't
00:25:28Three
00:25:29General, this is still our house
00:25:31And you're holding our mistress
00:25:33Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:39Not right
00:25:40Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines
00:25:43She was nearly assault in her own home
00:25:45You and Scar are suspects
00:25:47I'm taking her in for questioning
00:25:49Eric, you can't
00:25:51Edward!
00:25:52Sir!
00:26:01Drive faster!
00:26:03Get to the witch doctor, now!
00:26:14Well, well, look who's awake
00:26:16My dear wife, did you really think you could get away?
00:26:20Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune
00:26:23Must break your heart
00:26:27Be always the hours
00:26:29But it was always meant to be ours
00:26:39Maris, as your savior
00:26:41I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night
00:26:45You're, you're right
00:26:57You're awake
00:26:57My clothes
00:26:58You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard
00:27:01They were soaked in blood, I threw them out
00:27:10Then who changed me into this?
00:27:14The witch doctor from that day
00:27:16You know her?
00:27:18So, the woman in the mask that night
00:27:21That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:24I
00:27:28Sir, the scout has returned
00:27:29The woman from that night has been found
00:27:31It is not Lady Melris
00:27:33What?
00:27:40What did you just say?
00:27:42General
00:27:43We found the masked woman from that night
00:27:45It's Lady Adele Valentine
00:27:47Daughter of Duke Ace
00:27:48She's right outside
00:27:57Melris?
00:27:58What on earth are you doing here?
00:28:04You two know each other
00:28:08Good day, General
00:28:09I am Adele Valentine
00:28:13Melris is my cousin
00:28:16Take them off
00:28:23There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring
00:28:27So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me
00:28:33How did you come by these?
00:28:34Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings
00:28:36Custom made for every girl in the Valentine family
00:28:40My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine
00:28:42But not quite the same
00:28:43Where were you a month ago?
00:28:45I had gone to visit my cousin that day
00:28:46But as it turned out
00:28:47She happened to be away at her mother's
00:28:48When I arrived
00:28:49I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball
00:28:50And I was curious
00:28:51I heard you've been searching for the person from that
00:28:53So I finally worked up the courage to come to you
00:28:55I know this is hardly proper
00:28:56But I
00:28:58I simply couldn't forget you
00:29:00How can she spew such nauseating lies
00:29:03Without a shred of shame?
00:29:05Lady Melris
00:29:06Is what she said true?
00:29:13Lady Melris
00:29:16Is what she said true?
00:29:25Yes
00:29:26Everything Adel said is true
00:29:31General
00:29:32You believe me now, don't you?
00:29:38Edward
00:29:39Sir
00:29:40Escort Lady Adel out
00:29:42Prepare a generous gift
00:29:43To thank her for her candid
00:29:45What?
00:29:46General
00:29:47Aren't we going to
00:29:48Talk a little longer?
00:30:00Lord Eric
00:30:02Thank you for saving me yesterday
00:30:06I'll take my leave now
00:30:08I also hope the General
00:30:09Can keep what happened last night to himself
00:30:11Wait
00:30:11I saved you
00:30:13Only because I have no interest
00:30:14In seeing my business partner
00:30:16Come to harm
00:30:18Business partner?
00:30:20When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:21The North cannot go a single day
00:30:23Without grain shipments
00:30:24Scar is worse than useless
00:30:25I was counting on you from the start
00:30:27Are you really going to turn me down?
00:30:29Take it
00:30:30Come work for me
00:30:32And I can offer you compensation
00:30:33Beyond anything you'd imagine
00:30:36No
00:30:37If I stay by his side
00:30:38My belly will grow day by day
00:30:39He'll find out about the pregnancy
00:30:40Sooner or later
00:30:40This madman will never let me go
00:30:42I appreciate the offer, my lord
00:30:43But I must declare
00:30:44The proposal is already in your hands
00:30:45I'm sure finding someone capable
00:30:46Of understanding it won't be difficult
00:30:47I told you
00:30:47I have the power to help you
00:30:48Reclaim every last piece
00:30:49Of your grandfather's estate
00:30:50Won't you at least consider?
00:30:51Perhaps you're not aware
00:30:52But that full scar
00:30:53Could never hold on to
00:30:54An estate of that size
00:30:56Even the royal family
00:30:57Has their eyes on that prize now
00:30:59What do you think?
00:31:00Will Scar fight to the death
00:31:01To keep it
00:31:01Or will he trade your grandfather's legacy
00:31:03For a title
00:31:04And a promotion?
00:31:10Have you made up your mind?
00:31:12If what he says is true
00:31:14Time is running out
00:31:15I have to take this gamble
00:31:17But he can never ever find out
00:31:18About the child
00:31:19I have two conditions
00:31:21Name them
00:31:22First, I'll serve as your advisor
00:31:23For two months
00:31:24With full authority
00:31:24Over the northern trade routes
00:31:25After two months
00:31:27Whether I succeed or fail
00:31:28You will honor your promise
00:31:29And help me reclaim
00:31:30My entire inheritance
00:31:31Fine
00:31:32And the second?
00:31:34I
00:31:36I'd like to receive
00:31:37Part of my payment
00:31:38In advance
00:31:38To purchase a residence
00:31:39Because of Scar?
00:31:41You've seen it yourself
00:31:43That scum would do anything
00:31:44For money
00:31:45I need somewhere safe
00:31:47Scar and his mistress
00:31:48Have already been thrown
00:31:49Into the dungeon
00:31:50On suspicion of treason
00:31:51And collying with the enemy
00:31:52You
00:31:52When did you
00:31:53While you were unconscious
00:31:54And I've also had Edward
00:31:55Replace every last guard
00:31:57At your castle
00:31:58He had everything set in motion
00:32:00Long before I woke up
00:32:01Step by step
00:32:02He's been backing me
00:32:03Into a corner
00:32:03What a ruthless
00:32:04Calculating bastard
00:32:07You have my gratitude
00:32:08General
00:32:09For all the trouble
00:32:10You've gone to
00:32:13Melris
00:32:14Just how long
00:32:15Do you think
00:32:15You can keep running
00:32:16From me?
00:32:22Melris
00:32:22What were you doing
00:32:23Coming out of
00:32:24General Eric's estate today
00:32:25And wearing his shirt
00:32:26No less
00:32:27Am I required
00:32:27To report my whereabouts
00:32:28To you?
00:32:29You don't have to
00:32:30Report anything to me
00:32:30But you're a married woman
00:32:32Spending the night
00:32:32In another man's house
00:32:33Have you no shame?
00:32:34Aren't you worried
00:32:35About dragging the Valentine
00:32:36Name through the mud?
00:32:37General Eric is Scar's cousin
00:32:38I call him my brother-in-law
00:32:39What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:40Forget it
00:32:41I didn't come here to argue
00:32:42I just wanted to remind you
00:32:43You're already married
00:32:43So the woman
00:32:44General Eric has been searching for
00:32:45All across the city
00:32:46Can only be me
00:32:47After all
00:32:47You didn't come to my house
00:32:48That night did you?
00:32:49I trust you know exactly
00:32:50What do my dear cousin?
00:32:50I know you envy me
00:32:51Being the woman
00:32:52Who'll soon be at
00:32:53General Eric's side
00:32:54Not like you
00:32:55Your mother died young
00:32:56And if grandfather
00:32:57Hadn't gone see me
00:32:58And left you a scrap
00:32:58Of the estate
00:32:59Even Scar would have
00:33:00Been out of your league
00:33:01So now that I've got
00:33:01Something on you
00:33:02You better fall in line
00:33:04You dare hit me?
00:33:05I'll help you
00:33:06But insulting grandfather
00:33:08That you deserved
00:33:09And one more thing
00:33:10My parents may have died young
00:33:12But they did teach me
00:33:13One lesson
00:33:14Do not provoke me
00:33:15And I will not provoke you
00:33:17But if you do provoke me
00:33:18I will return it
00:33:19A hundredfold
00:33:21Starting tomorrow
00:33:22I'll use my knee injury
00:33:23As an excuse
00:33:24I'll tell Eric
00:33:25I can't travel
00:33:25So he'll have to come here
00:33:27For our discussions
00:33:29When that happens
00:33:30You can seize the opportunity yourself
00:33:33Since when are you so generous?
00:33:35I need someone to distract him
00:33:36You need a chance to get close to him
00:33:39We each get what we want
00:33:40You'd better mean what you say
00:33:43Your vanity dear cousin
00:33:45Has just done me an enormous favor
00:33:54Two months
00:33:55The northern route must be solid
00:33:57How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:34:00It's still winter
00:34:02Why ask that now?
00:34:04To be prepared
00:34:05Spring floods are coming
00:34:07Every foot the river rises
00:34:08The supply boats draw one less foot
00:34:11One delay
00:34:12And the northern forts go hungry for three days
00:34:17Why are you here?
00:34:18My cousin asked me to stay
00:34:19So I did
00:34:22I heard you talking about supplies
00:34:23Grandfather taught me a thing or two
00:34:25Hope you don't mind
00:34:26If you have something useful to say
00:34:28Say it
00:34:31Then I'll be bold
00:34:32About the northern route
00:34:34There are only three routes
00:34:35She stayed up all night
00:34:37Memorizing my plan
00:34:38Word for word
00:34:39But is he really that attractive?
00:34:41That road is safest
00:34:41But the terrain is rough
00:34:43So the caravans can load
00:34:44At the eastern waterway
00:34:45That way
00:34:46The relay stations won't be overwhelmed
00:34:52Just some thoughts, General
00:34:54Don't laugh at me
00:34:58Seems the Valiant family
00:35:00Has more than one businesswoman
00:35:02You're too kind, General
00:35:04I just read a few books
00:35:05Nothing like my cousin
00:35:09Lady Melris
00:35:14Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:16As a surprise?
00:35:21Of course not
00:35:22General, don't joke like that
00:35:30Just joking
00:35:31No offense, Lady Adele
00:35:41But you named three routes
00:35:43Greyport's got salt inspections
00:35:45Eastern waterways risky in spring floods
00:35:48Northern road has bandits
00:35:49If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:53That sounds simple, but it's not
00:35:55Weather, manpower, military schedules
00:35:59I haven't figured it out yet
00:36:04Use all three, General
00:36:05Spread the risk
00:36:06If one fails, the others keep the supply going
00:36:11Three routes cost three times the money
00:36:13If the Empire just wanted to buy safety
00:36:15Why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:18Business is like war
00:36:20Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a General
00:36:23He knew
00:36:24He knew she was just reciting
00:36:27I'm sorry
00:36:28I didn't think it through
00:36:31That bitch
00:36:32She left out details on purpose
00:36:36Made me look like a fool in front of him
00:36:41Took you long enough
00:36:43You want to die?
00:36:45Sorry, my lady
00:36:46I didn't want it to be too hot
00:36:49Useless
00:36:50Get out
00:36:55You like attention?
00:36:58Fine
00:36:58I'll give you plenty
00:37:08I wasn't much help just now
00:37:10So I had the kitchen make coffee
00:37:12For the General
00:37:14And my cousin
00:37:25Cousin
00:37:26You used to love this blend as a child
00:37:28Still the same, I hope?
00:37:30She knows this coffee gives me cramps
00:37:32And I'm pregnant
00:37:34Thank you, cousin, but
00:37:36I ground the beans myself this morning
00:37:39You won't even take a sip
00:37:40After I went to all that trouble
00:37:42You misunderstand
00:37:42I just take my coffee, Weesa
00:37:44More sugar
00:37:46Fine
00:37:46I'll get you some
00:37:47Wait here
00:37:58If I spill it, she'll say I challenge her
00:38:01But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:06General
00:38:09Next time you don't want something, knock it over
00:38:12In front of me, you don't have to spare anyone's feelings
00:38:16Cousin, here's your
00:38:19General, you drank hers too?
00:38:28Sorry, let me clean that up
00:38:33Scatter
00:38:34Then gather
00:38:39I've got it
00:38:40Someone said
00:38:41Give me a lever and I'll move the world
00:38:43Why not find a lever for the northern route too?
00:38:48You mean Silverbush
00:38:49Right
00:38:50Grayport can't handle big wagons
00:38:53But it can take sealed crates and small boats
00:38:56Eastern waterways risky in spring
00:38:58But light boats can make it
00:39:00Northern road runs empty carriages and guards
00:39:03By the time anyone notices, the grain's already in the north
00:39:06So we split everything into three
00:39:09Send to Silverberg first
00:39:10The enemy sees three fake roads
00:39:14But the real road, they never see coming
00:39:18A diversion
00:39:19Brilliant
00:39:20You really are the one I chose, Melris
00:39:24You're too kind
00:39:25There she goes again
00:39:27Stealing the show
00:39:28I should have made her drink that coffee
00:39:30General
00:39:31Your neck
00:39:32And your hands
00:39:35Don't scratch
00:39:38That looks like a nettle rash
00:39:40Scratching all these scars
00:39:42You put something in the coffee
00:39:54I didn't, I swear
00:39:58Get a physician
00:39:59If there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there
00:40:01The dungeon is the least of your worries
00:40:03General, I was only trying to
00:40:05Get out
00:40:09General, until the physician arrives
00:40:11The itching will get worse
00:40:12Let me make you a salve
00:40:14My grandfather taught me some remedies
00:40:16Fine, you try
00:40:19Quick, get me plantain, calumdala, rose water
00:40:22And some cold cream base
00:40:24Oh my god
00:40:29Out, close the door
00:40:45General, the salve is ready
00:40:47Then what are you waiting for?
00:40:49Come here, help me put it on
00:40:51But you said you don't like people touching you
00:40:54Once is strange
00:40:55Twice is familiar
00:40:56Not the first time
00:40:58Still shy?
00:40:59Who's shy?
00:41:09Have to admit
00:41:11This body
00:41:12Those muscles
00:41:14It's deadly
00:41:20Had enough
00:41:23What?
00:41:24I
00:41:27Your salve works
00:41:29Itching's almost gone
00:41:30But your technique is terrible
00:41:35General
00:41:36The rash is definitely from stinging nettle
00:41:39But the coffee is clean
00:41:41No poison
00:41:43What?
00:41:57General, I've tested both cups carefully
00:42:00No poison whatsoever
00:42:02But the handle of this cup
00:42:05There's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp
00:42:10General
00:42:10General, you heard him
00:42:11No poison in the coffee
00:42:12I was just trying to be nice
00:42:13How could I possibly want to hurt you?
00:42:15It must be the kitchen staff
00:42:16They handled wild vegetables without washing their hands
00:42:18Then they touched the cups
00:42:20That's possible
00:42:20Young nettle can be boiled and eaten
00:42:22Some servants use it as cheap greens
00:42:24Cousin, this is your castle
00:42:26Aren't you going to question your own servants?
00:42:28If someone tried to poison the general
00:42:30General, that's a death sentence
00:42:38The pulp is dry by now
00:42:40No one saw her do it
00:42:42Even if we investigate
00:42:43She'll blame the kitchen
00:42:45General, the physician already said
00:42:46There's no poison
00:42:48You're not seriously hurt
00:42:49Why don't we leave it here
00:42:50Otherwise someone might use this
00:42:52To sow discord in the household
00:42:54Cousin
00:42:55Are you still accusing me?
00:42:59Just thinking out loud
00:43:00Don't read too much into it, cousin
00:43:06My lady
00:43:07Duke Iles has arrived
00:43:12Oh, Duke Iles
00:43:14Father
00:43:17My dear girl, don't cry
00:43:19Tell me
00:43:19Who made you cry?
00:43:20Father
00:43:21Someone tried to say
00:43:22I poisoned General Eric's coffee
00:43:23Eric
00:43:24My daughter is spoiled
00:43:26But never dare poison anyone
00:43:27This must be a misunderstanding
00:43:28Don't you agree?
00:43:34Same Valentine blood
00:43:36How can they be so different?
00:43:40Duke, don't worry
00:43:41This happened in Lady Melris' castle
00:43:43She's not pressing charges
00:43:44Neither am I
00:43:45Good
00:43:47A misunderstanding then
00:43:49Let's move on
00:43:50No!
00:43:51We can't just let this go
00:43:53Her servants must be the ones
00:43:54Who did this
00:43:55We should question
00:43:56Every single one of them
00:43:57Shut your mouth, Adele
00:43:58If you want Eric
00:44:00Don't act like a fool
00:44:01In front of him
00:44:02Know when to stop
00:44:04Understand?
00:44:06General, I'm also here
00:44:07On the Emperor's orders
00:44:08He's concerned
00:44:09You locked up Vanland Scar
00:44:11For treason
00:44:11But he's still a titled noble
00:44:13You didn't file any paperwork
00:44:14With the court
00:44:15That puts the Emperor
00:44:15In a difficult position
00:44:17It's a delicate matter
00:44:18I am a witness
00:44:19The man who broke into my castle
00:44:21Admitted Scar
00:44:21Sent him to assault me
00:44:23Lady Melris
00:44:23The Emperor is sympathetic
00:44:24To your ordeal
00:44:25But one woman's testimony
00:44:26Isn't enough to convict a Vittart
00:44:28Besides, you're still
00:44:29Husband and wife
00:44:29Wouldn't it be more
00:44:30Dignified
00:44:31To find a compromise?
00:44:32No compromise
00:44:35Lady Melris
00:44:35The Emperor's wish is
00:44:36You can tell the Emperor this
00:44:38I may be a merchant's daughter
00:44:39But I won't be bullied
00:44:40If he wants me to drop this
00:44:41Suscar returns everything
00:44:42My grandfather left me
00:44:43And he divorces me
00:44:45That's
00:44:47I agree
00:44:54The Valentine estate
00:44:55Is tied to the Northern supply route
00:44:57It's a matter of Imperial security
00:44:59Scar couldn't even protect
00:45:00His own wife
00:45:01How can he be trusted
00:45:02With such assets?
00:45:03Better put it in the right hands
00:45:04You too
00:45:05I'll convey your proposal
00:45:07To the Emperor
00:45:09Thank you, Duke
00:45:19Melris
00:45:19You're a clever woman
00:45:20If you help Adele
00:45:21Marry General Eric
00:45:22I'll put in a good word
00:45:23For you with the Emperor
00:45:25You're very invested
00:45:26In your daughter's marriage, Duke
00:45:27The whole city knows Eric
00:45:28Is looking for the masked woman
00:45:29From that night
00:45:30My daughter claimed it was her
00:45:31The Duke's honour is at stake
00:45:33So it doesn't matter
00:45:34Who it really was
00:45:35It has to be Adele
00:45:38I knew you'd understand
00:45:46After the Duke left
00:45:48Things were calm
00:45:49I put everything
00:45:50Into the Mortham supply plan
00:46:00Less than did a month
00:46:01Our plan was ready
00:46:03The first Tushed shipment
00:46:05Was about to leave
00:46:12Looks like the test run worked
00:46:18Melris
00:46:18I want to throw a banquet
00:46:20A banquet?
00:46:23Who should we invite?
00:46:24You handle it
00:46:33Who to invite?
00:46:35The Emperor hasn't agreed to my terms yet
00:46:37He's still unhappy about Eric's actions
00:46:39If I push too hard it might backfire
00:46:47I'll need the Duke to speak on my behalf
00:46:54Beth?
00:46:55My lady
00:46:56What do you need?
00:47:01Deliver this to Duke Isles' estate
00:47:03Put it in his hands personally
00:47:19Sorry for the poor hospitality
00:47:21Please forgive me
00:47:23Lady Melris
00:47:24I can hardly believe it
00:47:26You've opened the northern supply route
00:47:27In such a short time
00:47:28You flatter me, my lord
00:47:30None of this would be possible
00:47:31Without General Eric's trust
00:47:34And your support behind the scenes
00:47:36Melris
00:47:37Uncle
00:47:38The General isn't here yet?
00:47:40He's dealing with urgent military matters
00:47:42He asked me to open the evening in his place
00:47:45A married woman
00:47:46Acting like she's the lady of the house
00:47:48How does she have the nerve?
00:47:52General
00:47:54The banquet has started
00:47:55Aren't you going?
00:47:57Better to let it out here
00:47:58Than lose control in front of everyone
00:48:05Tonight I want every noble in the capital
00:48:07To see what Melris is worth
00:48:09The northern supply plan
00:48:10Plus the support of the aristocracy
00:48:12Even if the emperor resists
00:48:13He'll have to let her take back what's hers
00:48:15General, you've gone to great lengths for her
00:48:19She deserves it
00:48:20General Eric is just so busy
00:48:22He insists on doing everything himself
00:48:24But he told me tonight's banquet
00:48:27Nominally for celebration
00:48:28But actually
00:48:29Actually what?
00:48:30Adele?
00:48:31Don't stop there
00:48:33Actually, it's for me
00:48:35Is he going to propose?
00:48:36Oh, don't say that
00:48:37But soon
00:48:40Unlike some people
00:48:41Can't even keep her own husband
00:48:43Her inheritance is slipping away
00:48:45How pathetic
00:48:48Same old lines
00:48:49No imagination
00:48:50Cousin
00:48:51Once the general and I are engaged
00:48:53Do you really think you can keep hanging around him?
00:48:55A married woman?
00:48:56If that happens, I'll congratulate you
00:48:58In another month
00:48:59My partnership with the general ends
00:49:01He'll be all yours
00:49:02What did you say?
00:49:07Say that again
00:49:08General
00:49:09You're finally here
00:49:16Who invited her?
00:49:25Who invited her?
00:49:28My cousin meant well
00:49:30She wrote to me herself
00:49:31Asked me to come
00:49:33If I've upset the general
00:49:35I'll leave
00:49:36General
00:49:37You
00:49:43Damn it
00:49:43He didn't even look at me
00:49:50Why did you invite that woman?
00:49:53You said I could arrange the guest list
00:49:55Not her
00:49:55A liar
00:49:57The duke is the emperor's right hand
00:49:59I couldn't not invite him
00:50:01And he'd bring her
00:50:03So you sold me out
00:50:04To get your inheritance back?
00:50:05Yes
00:50:07If that's how you see it
00:50:08But do you really want the emperor
00:50:09To think you're a threat?
00:50:11Distrust you
00:50:13Even turn against you
00:50:15Then you'd lose everything
00:50:16Just like me
00:50:18You're worried about me?
00:50:20I'm not
00:50:21I just want to know
00:50:22How you'll help me
00:50:22Get my inheritance back
00:50:23The two months are almost out
00:50:27Melris
00:50:29Why do you keep pushing me away?
00:50:48General Eric
00:50:49Where did you go?
00:50:50I've been looking everywhere for you
00:50:51Get away from me
00:51:00Eric
00:51:02My daughter is carrying your child
00:51:04Is this how you treat her?
00:51:09What did you say?
00:51:18Eric
00:51:19My daughter is pregnant with your child
00:51:23How much more humiliation must she endure?
00:51:34Impossible
00:51:34You don't believe it?
00:51:41Dr. Sear
00:51:47Lady Adele, if you please
00:51:52Yes
00:51:54Eric, let's be honest
00:51:56We both know Adele isn't a woman from that night
00:52:00But do you really want the truth to come out?
00:52:02Even if you could prove she's lying
00:52:06Would you dare?
00:52:07The Emperor himself would be desperate to be like that?
00:52:10Then go ahead
00:52:10Let everyone know that Maris, a married woman, committed adultery
00:52:13She won't get her inheritance back
00:52:15She'll be lucky to stay alive
00:52:16Marry Adele
00:52:17Our houses unite
00:52:18The Emperor would welcome it
00:52:20It's best for everyone
00:52:21Even for
00:52:22Merit
00:52:22Fine
00:52:25Everyone
00:52:26Lady Adele's urine is pale yellow, slightly cloudy, after standing a white precipitation forms
00:52:31This indicates pregnancy
00:52:32Early stage
00:52:33But 70% certain
00:52:47I see
00:52:52I agree
00:52:54Two weeks from now
00:52:55I will marry Lady Adele
00:53:20I kept telling myself he's just a partner
00:53:22A killer
00:53:23A madman I should stay away from
00:53:29I hate being light
00:53:30But the memories keep coming back
00:53:32I can't stop them
00:53:36I can't believe General Eric proposed to Lady Adele tonight
00:53:41And the wedding is in two weeks
00:53:47I heard she's already pregnant
00:53:49That's why it's so rushed
00:53:50The Emperor himself will attend
00:53:52I must remember what we gave you to
00:53:54This is all my fault
00:53:58If I hadn't dragged him into that dance
00:54:00He wouldn't have been searching for that woman
00:54:02Adele wouldn't have had a chance
00:54:04Now the Duke is threatening him
00:54:06Adele is pretending to be pregnant
00:54:08He's trapped
00:54:10You're the one I chose, Maris
00:54:11No
00:54:14I let you down
00:54:16My lady, you haven't eaten in two weeks
00:54:19You'll make yourself ill
00:54:23I've made up my mind
00:54:24I'm going to see Eric
00:54:26But soon
00:54:29You may have to leave this cost
00:54:31Whatever you decide, my lady
00:54:33I shouldn't know the rest
00:54:40Thank you, Bess
00:54:47This all started because of me
00:54:49Even if they call me a whore
00:54:51Even if I lose any hope of getting my inheritance back
00:54:55I have to tell him the truth
00:55:02Eric, whatever it costs me
00:55:05This time, I'll face it with you
00:55:08I won't let you carry this alone
00:55:13This isn't right
00:55:15Stop the carriage
00:55:16Why are we going this way?
00:55:19Took you long enough to notice, my lady
00:55:22You work for Adele
00:55:27The lady knew you'd go to the general
00:55:37The box fell out
00:55:38Should we get it?
00:55:39Who cares?
00:55:40The lady only wants her
00:55:44Women wants that general
00:55:46What's he got that I don't?
00:55:48The lady won't even look at me
00:55:51You?
00:55:52If anyone, it should be me
00:55:54Maybe that kid in her belly is mine
00:55:57She called me to her room plenty of times
00:56:00She called me too
00:56:01Who knows who the father really is?
00:56:04She's sleeping with her own guards?
00:56:07And she wants to marry Eric
00:56:09She's insane
00:56:17Cousin
00:56:18You slapped me before
00:56:20Now we're even
00:56:28Adele, the truth always comes out
00:56:31Keep telling yourself that
00:56:33Once the emperor approves, nothing else matters
00:56:36Oh, I have good news for you
00:56:38You should thank Eric and my father
00:56:40The emperor just signed over all the valentine property to you
00:56:46Now, what will you do to the woman who made you lose everything?
00:56:52Enjoy yourself
00:56:53I don't want anyone knowing she's here until after the wedding
00:56:58Melris
00:57:05My dear
00:57:06We meet again
00:57:08Adele told me everything
00:57:10You and Eric
00:57:11No wonder he's always protecting you
00:57:13If you're carrying his bastard, I hope it's born as mad as he is
00:57:19Mad or not
00:57:20At least it won't be a fool like you
00:57:22Used and thrown away without even knowing it
00:57:25What do you mean?
00:57:26Kill me
00:57:27And you'll hang
00:57:28I won't kill you
00:57:29I'll make you wish you were dead
00:57:31Then Adele defeat me and blames you
00:57:33You're the perfect scapegoat
00:57:36What do you think the emperor will do then?
00:57:40I've got nothing left
00:57:42I'm a dead man walking
00:57:43Taking you with me
00:57:45Worth it
00:57:50Damn it
00:57:50Ever since she left
00:57:53Even killing prisoners only helps for a moment now
00:57:57General
00:57:58Just need the final route map for Silverbirth
00:58:00Lady Melish was supposed to bring it this morning
00:58:02She didn't come?
00:58:03No
00:58:03And she didn't send word either
00:58:08General
00:58:09Please save my lady
00:58:11What happened to her?
00:58:12She left yesterday with a box
00:58:14Said she was coming to you
00:58:16To tell you everything
00:58:18She
00:58:21General
00:58:22Found this on the road to your estate
00:58:23Inside
00:58:24An earring
00:58:25Looks like the one Lady Adele wears
00:58:28That's it
00:58:29That's the box my lady was carrying
00:58:33The road to my estate
00:58:35Also leads to Adele's villa
00:58:38Move
00:58:39Now
00:58:45Who goes there?
00:58:46This is Duke's property
00:58:54Stay outside
00:59:01Eric
00:59:02Look
00:59:03Isn't it beautiful?
00:59:06Where is Melris?
00:59:08I don't know what you're talking about
00:59:10Eric
00:59:10I'm your fiance
00:59:11I'm carrying your child
00:59:13Why do you always think of her?
00:59:15I won't ask again
00:59:17Eric
00:59:17This is a Duke's castle
00:59:18You want to search it?
00:59:19Then follow the rules
00:59:21Hand over your sword
00:59:28That's better
00:59:29Come my dear fiance
00:59:31Let me show you around our new home
00:59:42Ah, you bitch
00:59:45Look, this is the nursery
00:59:46For our child
00:59:47Do you like blue or pink?
00:59:49He'll be just as handsome as you, I'm sure
00:59:55Just rats in the wine cellar
00:59:58Open that carpet
01:00:03Now
01:00:10Bitch
01:00:14Let me give you some air
01:00:15Before you die
01:00:25Make a sound and I'll kill you now
01:00:35See?
01:00:36Nothing
01:00:36Just rats
01:00:45Light it up!
01:00:48There's someone down there
01:00:49Where are they?
01:00:54Die!
01:00:57Eric
01:00:58Even if you are my fiance
01:01:00Treating me like this
01:01:01The emperor himself wouldn't side with you
01:01:09Help me
01:01:10Help me
01:01:19It's wood
01:01:22Eric
01:01:22Melis is a married woman
01:01:25Going crazy over her
01:01:29The whole empire will laugh at you
01:01:32For taking Saka's leftovers
01:01:48Melis
01:01:49Eric
01:01:58Watch out
01:02:00Saka's still here
01:02:06Cousin
01:02:07You really can't stay away from this whore, can you?
01:02:12You pathetic fool
01:02:14Pointing a knife at me
01:02:18Still looking down on me
01:02:21After I defeat you
01:02:22I'll have my fun with her
01:02:24Then she's dead too
01:02:25Enough talk
01:02:30Catch Eric
01:02:36Shut up, bitch
01:02:43Cousin
01:02:43You're a fool
01:02:45Throwing your life away for a woman
01:03:01No, don't kill me
01:03:02Cousin
01:03:03We're family
01:03:04Think of your aunt
01:03:05Get out
01:03:08You're not worth the effort
01:03:12Look out
01:03:22It's over
01:03:24But you are
01:03:26It's fine
01:03:27Doesn't hurt
01:03:39Thank God
01:03:40You're alive
01:03:41You idiot
01:03:42Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:45You kept pushing me away
01:03:47But after I took you from Saka that night
01:03:50I knew it was you
01:03:54How?
01:03:55Because you're different
01:03:58I won the war in the north
01:04:01But my regiment
01:04:02Crimson Raven
01:04:04Was wiped out
01:04:06Since that day
01:04:07I've never really left that battlefield
01:04:13Everyone
01:04:14And everything
01:04:15Will rot in my eyes
01:04:20Except
01:04:22You that night
01:04:31Of course
01:04:32Killing those prisoners
01:04:33Helps too
01:04:34Revenge for my men
01:04:35The visions stopped for a while
01:04:37The rumors
01:04:38They said you kill for fun
01:04:40It's because of this
01:04:42They had my brother's blood on their hands
01:04:44They deserve to die
01:04:45I hid from you
01:04:47Because I thought you were a monster
01:04:51Maybe I am
01:04:52But if I hadn't met you that night
01:04:53My world would be nothing but hell
01:05:02You've suffered enough
01:05:09My dear son-in-law
01:05:11The wedding is about to start
01:05:13And here you are hiding in a cellar
01:05:15With another man's wife
01:05:16How unbecoming
01:05:22Duke is this your wedding party
01:05:24Or a coup
01:05:26What do you think
01:05:28General
01:05:29The Emperor himself
01:05:31Is officiating
01:05:32Only you could draw him here
01:05:35Your target is the Emperor
01:05:36Two choices
01:05:38Put on the suit
01:05:39Marry my daughter
01:05:41I promise Lady Melris will live
01:05:45Or you both die here
01:05:47Fine
01:05:48But you swear she won't be harmed
01:05:50Of course
01:05:52Take the groom to change
01:06:00Get rid of the woman
01:06:02Cleanly
01:06:11Sorry my lady
01:06:13Nothing personal
01:06:14You're just in the way
01:06:31Forgive me my lady
01:06:32The General had me wait
01:06:33Outside the castle
01:06:34He guessed something like this
01:06:35Might happen
01:06:41I won't kill you
01:06:44But at the wedding
01:06:45In front of the Emperor
01:06:46You'll say what you said
01:06:47In the carriage
01:06:49Every word
01:06:50Lady Adele will have our heads
01:06:52She was going to kill you anyway
01:06:54After I'm dead
01:06:55Would she leave two witnesses alive
01:06:58Fine
01:07:00Fine
01:07:00Fine
01:07:02Time is short Edward
01:07:03Split up
01:07:04You take them to the Imperial Guard
01:07:05Wait outside the chapel
01:07:06I'll go ahead
01:07:06My lady
01:07:07That's too dangerous
01:07:07If the General finds out
01:07:23These ceremonial guards
01:07:24Are wearing battle armor
01:07:25The Duke's men
01:07:28Eric
01:07:29Are you unwell?
01:07:34Your Majesty
01:07:35The General is merely tired
01:07:37Wedding nerves perhaps
01:07:40Remember
01:07:41Melis is still in my hands
01:07:43Ruin this wedding
01:07:45She won't see tomorrow
01:07:47General Eric
01:07:48Rosenheit
01:07:49Do you take Lady Adele
01:07:51To be your wedded wife
01:07:53To have and to hold
01:07:54He does not
01:08:10Who is that?
01:08:11How dare they interrupt the wedding
01:08:13In front of His Majesty?
01:08:21Sorry Lady Adele
01:08:22He's already taken
01:08:27Who are you?
01:08:29How dare you?
01:08:31Guards
01:08:31Remove this woman
01:08:35Impressive
01:08:36You've saved me enough times
01:08:39Let me save you for once
01:08:45Adele
01:08:46Eric doesn't belong to you
01:08:48Oh it's you
01:08:49The whore
01:08:50Come to seal another woman's wedding?
01:08:51Eric come here
01:08:52I am the one you're looking for
01:08:53I'm carrying your child
01:08:54Lie often enough
01:08:55Before you start to believe it yourself
01:08:58Lady Adele was never at that
01:08:59Masculine
01:09:00She lied
01:09:01She forced me to cover for her
01:09:03Because my aunt had something on me
01:09:04That's how she killed everyone
01:09:06Even the General
01:09:06Lies
01:09:07You have an earring
01:09:08So do I
01:09:09That proves nothing
01:09:10And I'm pregnant with the General's child
01:09:12That no one can deny
01:09:16Really?
01:09:20Gentlemen
01:09:22In front of His Majesty and the court
01:09:25Tell us
01:09:25Who really fathered Lady Adele's child?
01:09:30It was me!
01:09:31No!
01:09:31Him!
01:09:32Your Majesty!
01:09:33Spare us!
01:09:34She called both of us to her chambers
01:09:35We don't know whose it is!
01:09:40Duke Isles!
01:09:41This is the daughter you raised
01:09:43How much else have you been hiding from me?
01:09:45My daughter just wanted to marry
01:09:46What harm was there?
01:09:47But since you're all so eager to humiliate us
01:09:49Your Majesty
01:09:50Let's continue the celebration
01:09:52Since my daughter's wedding is off
01:09:53How about a coronation instead?
01:09:58Your Majesty
01:10:01You trusted that mad dog from the North too much
01:10:04The capital's finances
01:10:06The noble marriages
01:10:07The palace defences
01:10:08Who controls all of it?
01:10:10My house
01:10:11Yes!
01:10:12This is treason!
01:10:14History is written by the victor
01:10:15I wanted to use the marriage to control the general
01:10:18Take my time
01:10:19The plans change
01:10:21You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:39Lady Malice has already won the imperial guard
01:10:41Your own men are on their way
01:11:03Your fight is with me
01:11:13Arrest them, every last one of the traitors
01:11:16I should be the one standing beside him
01:11:22It's all because of you, Malise
01:11:26Die, bitch
01:11:38Eric!
01:11:41Eric!
01:11:45The bride should have been me
01:11:50Eric!
01:11:56Eric!
01:11:59Eric!
01:12:09The General has a strong constitution.
01:12:11He'll live.
01:12:13But he needs months of rest.
01:12:14The wounds are deep.
01:12:18Why did you have to be so stupid?
01:12:21Throwing yourself in front of a knife for me.
01:12:29You even cry beautifully.
01:12:31You're awake! Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:34I'm here.
01:12:37I'm not afraid to die.
01:12:39The only thing I'm afraid of is you ignoring me.
01:12:42If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife again, and I really will ignore you.
01:12:46Melis, will you marry me?
01:12:58Yes, I'll marry you.
01:13:00You said it. No taking it back.
01:13:04But after I interrupted the wedding, everyone knows I slept with you while I was still married.
01:13:08The Emperor doesn't approve of me.
01:13:10I'm afraid...
01:13:11As long as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:27Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something.
01:13:36A secret.
01:13:40I'm pregnant.
01:13:44I'm pregnant.
01:13:46I'm pregnant too.
01:14:15What did you...
01:14:16I just thought you were gonna be out of bed tomorrow?
01:14:18I'm pregnant.
01:14:19Don't be silly.
01:14:20The witch doctor said months of rest.
01:14:23Then you stay with me
01:14:27All right
