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