00:11That's not a dragon egg, it's a dead one.
00:15Does Black Flame keep gone completely mad?
00:18They actually gave the future queen a dead egg.
00:22That's a slap in the face to House Ashburne.
00:27By law, the heir to the throne must propose to his future queen with a genuine dragon egg.
00:33But Lucien gave me a dead dragon egg instead.
00:41Oh, Serafina, surely you're not upset over a single dragon egg?
00:47Surely anyone with the true blood of the Dragon King could awaken it?
00:50Or perhaps you're not quite as gifted as everyone believes.
01:05Lucien.
01:08Lucien, tell me.
01:11Was the dead dragon egg on the altar your decision?
01:14Come on, it's not that serious.
01:17Lydia's always been a little mischievous.
01:19It's just a dragon egg.
01:30So, you know this.
01:31So what if I knew?
01:34The decree is clear.
01:36Our houses are to be bound by marriage.
01:39The egg is nothing more than a ritual.
01:46In the end, I'm still the one you'll marry.
01:53To him, my dignity and my family's honor meant nothing.
01:59Well, now that that's settled, let's look forward to seeing Serafina awake in the dragon egg on our wedding day.
02:16That look on her face.
02:18Someone's about to be in serious trouble.
02:24The decree only made me the future dragon queen.
02:27It never once said I had to marry Lucien.
02:31Which means...
02:32Whoever I choose to marry will become the future heir.
02:41House Draen has taken this too far!
02:46This is a blatant insult to House Ashberg.
02:56Father.
02:58My dear, you've been through enough today.
03:10I'm not the one who should be afraid.
03:13They are.
03:16You've already thought of something, haven't you?
03:21A little.
03:22This engagement is not something we can simply walk away from.
03:26The Dragon King issued that decree himself.
03:29Unless the royal family withdraws its order, it must be obeyed.
03:32Our family's survival is at stake.
03:37Father, do you remember the decree's exact wording?
03:43Of course.
03:47The decree named Serafina Ashberg as the future dragon queen of Black Flame Keep.
03:55Yes.
04:03So does the decree actually say I have to marry Lucien?
04:09The Dragon King chose a dragon queen.
04:12He never chose a bride for Lucien.
04:20As long as the heir changes, the marriage still stands.
04:24And the decree still applies.
04:27Then?
04:29We just changed the heir.
04:32This is insane.
04:34The Duke of Draen would never agree to this.
04:38What if the humiliation had been aimed at Housean instead?
04:52If Lucien can't live without Lydia, then he can keep her for the rest of his life.
05:03He's here.
05:09Vel'raq!
05:12My lord!
05:13Vel'raq's Draen!
05:15Request an audience!
05:16Request an audience!
05:23Now the real danger begins.
05:36Duke Cedric, forgive the late Androsian.
05:40If you're here to apologize on behalf of House Drapen, I suggest you turn around and leave.
05:45House Ashhouse does not accept this kind of humiliation.
05:50I'm not here to apologize.
05:53Oh?
05:54So what are you here for?
05:56To show off?
05:58I'm here to discuss a deal.
06:05A deal?
06:07Draen and Ashburn.
06:09Is that what you're suggesting?
06:10I heard about what happened today.
06:12The dead dragon egg.
06:14Lydia.
06:15And Lucien's choice.
06:17Personally,
06:17I think he was a complete fool.
06:22To alienate the Ashburn family over a woman.
06:25To jeopardize his claim to the inheritance over a woman.
06:28A man who makes choices like that wouldn't survive three days on a battlefield.
06:32There were no hollow excuses.
06:34No nauseating speeches about the greater good.
06:37He simply stated the facts.
06:44Go on.
06:47Once my father heard,
06:49he proceeded to break everything in his study.
06:52Looks like the Duke of Draven has finally discovered he's been raising a fool.
06:58Technically, he's always known.
07:02The dead egg incident is all over the capital by now.
07:06The dragon king is summoning people for answers tomorrow.
07:10Handle this poorly,
07:11and Draymond loses royal trust.
07:13Ashburn loses its standing.
07:17And Lucien
07:19stands to lose his inheritance.
07:22That's why I'm asking for the Ashburn family's support.
07:24Wait.
07:26Are you saying
07:26you're trying to replace him?
07:28I intend to become the new heir.
07:30It's the outcome that benefits both our families the most.
07:35And if you become the heir,
07:36what happens to my daughter's engagement?
07:39Since no specific heir has ever been named,
07:42whoever becomes the heir
07:43becomes Seraphina's future husband.
07:45Wait.
07:47Are you actually proposing to me
07:48by replacing your own brother as heir?
07:51So you noticed.
07:52Which means...
07:55Deal.
08:04Father.
08:05It was just a dead dragon egg.
08:08Why are you stripping me of my right
08:10to attend the family council?
08:14You know what I regret most right now?
08:19What?
08:22I regret not sending you
08:25to the Northlands
08:25to be tempered all these years.
08:32At least then,
08:34you might have learned
08:34what responsibility actually means.
08:37Father!
08:38Lydia was just playing a harmless prank.
08:40Seraphina wasn't actually hurt.
08:50Even now,
08:51you're still treating this
08:51like some kind of joke.
08:54The Ashborns
08:55are one of the most powerful houses
08:57in the realm
08:58and you threw that away
08:59for a woman!
09:00You don't deserve
09:02to be the heir.
09:20The entire capital
09:22is waiting for you
09:23to embarrass yourself.
09:24They can't wait
09:24to see you cry.
09:30Then they're in
09:31for a huge disappointment.
09:46Seriously?
09:47The Dragon King is demanding answers
09:48and he actually had the nerve
09:49to bring that commoner girl here!
09:52The future heir
09:53has officially
09:54lost his mind.
10:05Don't worry.
10:08With me here,
10:10no one's going to
10:11lay a finger on you.
10:13Let her go.
10:31You're in the royal court,
10:32not your private bedroom.
10:35All bringing this woman here
10:36does is confirm
10:37how utterly foolish you are.
11:00Someone tell me,
11:01how did a marriage
11:02that was supposed
11:03to be a celebration
11:04become the capital's
11:05laughing stock?
11:09My king,
11:10House Draven
11:11has failed in its duty.
11:12I am prepared
11:13to bear the full consequences.
11:15Bear the consequences?
11:17The damage was done
11:19the moment
11:19that dead dragon egg
11:21was placed on the altar!
11:24Explain yourself.
11:27My king,
11:30the situation
11:31isn't nearly as serious
11:32as the rumors make it seem.
11:34Lydia was just playing
11:34a harmless prank.
11:36There was no malicious
11:36intent behind it.
11:41And as the betrothal
11:42remains unaffected,
11:43the matter should be
11:44considered resolved, so...
11:46So what?
11:48So what you're saying
11:50is this?
11:51An insult
11:52to the future
11:53dragon queen?
11:54An insult
11:55to House Ashman?
11:56And even an insult
11:57to my royal decree?
11:59Just a joke!
12:00Is that what you mean?
12:10My king!
12:11It's all my fault!
12:17Please,
12:19don't punish Lucien.
12:20I was just too in love with him.
12:23I know I'm of low birth.
12:25I'm not worthy of him.
12:27That's why I acted
12:28out of impulse.
12:31If someone has to be punished,
12:33punish me alone.
12:36Lady Serafina,
12:38I offer you
12:39my sincere apologies.
12:42Please forgive me.
12:44She does look pitiful,
12:46and she did apologize after all.
12:54Lydia,
12:56I only have one question.
12:59If that dead dragon egg
13:00from yesterday's altar
13:01had shown up
13:02at your engagement ceremony,
13:04would you still call it a joke?
13:10If you were the one
13:11being humiliated,
13:13what if the whole capital
13:15was laughing at you?
13:17What if you were the one
13:18whose bloodline
13:19was being questioned?
13:22Would you still call it a joke?
13:29And if you were truly sorry,
13:30why didn't you apologize yesterday?
13:35Why wait until the dragon king
13:37was furious and summoned you here
13:39before suddenly on this act of remorse?
13:50Stop, Serafina!
13:51She's already apologized!
13:53Are you trying to drive her
13:54to her death?
14:02Lucien.
14:04As an heir,
14:05when your decisions harm
14:06your own house,
14:07you take responsibility.
14:09Not make excuses,
14:10and certainly not push a woman
14:12forward as a scapegoat.
14:14Velrak,
14:15if it were you,
14:16how would you handle it?
14:19If she dares humiliate
14:21my fiancée,
14:23she wouldn't even live
14:25long enough to stand here.
14:28And if I were to allow
14:30something like that to happen,
14:32then I should be the one
14:33to lose my claim
14:34to the inheritance.
14:44IMPOSSIBLE!
14:45Father,
14:46you cannot possibly agree
14:47to this absurd royal beck-dained!
14:49Why not?
14:52I'm your own flesh and blood!
14:55This is my official application.
14:58You submitted it yourself?
15:01Just for a woman?
15:03Even now,
15:04you still think Lydia's the problem!
15:05The problem is you!
15:07As the heir,
15:08you failed to take responsibility!
15:11You've never been protecting love,
15:13only your selfish desire.
15:14I will not let this family
15:16fall into the hands of a fool!
15:21Why is everyone blaming me?!
15:23My lady,
15:23the mood in the capital has changed.
15:25Everyone is speaking against you.
15:27Shut up!
15:28Seraphina still has her engagement!
15:30Why is everyone feeling sorry for her?!
15:35No.
15:36Lucian mustn't fall.
15:39He's the only person I can rely on.
15:53You seem awfully cheerful.
15:55You don't look worried
15:56about the hearing one bit.
15:58If an heir can be replaced
15:59because of a single dead dragon egg,
16:01then he was never fit
16:02for the position in the first place.
16:10I'm starting to understand
16:11why my father favors you.
16:14The Duke of Draven
16:15favors me?
16:16Before the dead dragon egg incident,
16:18he had already hoped
16:19you would become
16:20the mistress of House Draven.
16:22You are intelligent and level-headed.
16:25And this kingdom's future
16:26needs a lady like you.
16:32Sepraphina,
16:33I have a question.
16:35If I win the succession,
16:38do you accept my proposal of marriage?
16:43Valorax,
16:44are you asking me to marry you?
16:47Yes, I am.
17:05Let's begin.
17:09My king,
17:10I formally request a reassessment
17:13of Blackflame Holt's succession rights.
17:16Lucian has gravely failed in his duty
17:18and damaged the Crown's authority.
17:21Father,
17:22what are you saying?
17:26Lucian,
17:28do you have anything to say?
17:37It was just an accident.
17:40I have not made any major mistakes
17:42all these years.
17:45If I were given another chance,
17:48would you still stand by Lydia
17:50no matter what?
17:52She didn't mean it.
17:55I will not abandon her
17:56because of a single mistake.
18:03were I the heir.
18:09At the first sign of a crisis,
18:10I would publicly apologize,
18:12fully compensate the losses,
18:14punish those responsible,
18:15and take full accountability
18:17for the consequences.
18:19Even if the one who caused it
18:21was the woman you love,
18:23if she harmed the core interests
18:24of the family,
18:27then she'll have me
18:28as her first enemy.
18:37Lucian Draven.
18:38No, it's all my fault!
18:39Please, don't blame Lucian.
18:41He was only trying to protect me.
18:44Take her away.
18:48My king!
18:49Please show mercy!
18:56Lucian Draven.
19:00You lack the most essential quality
19:03of a ruler.
19:05Responsibility.
19:06Effective immediately,
19:07you are stripped of all rights
19:08as first heir to Black Flame Keep.
19:14From this day forward,
19:16Velrax Draven is hereby declared
19:18the sole lawful heir
19:19to Black Flame Keep.
19:23As you command, my king.
19:33Velrax,
19:34do you know what it means
19:35to be an heir?
19:37Responsibility.
19:38What else?
19:43Protection.
19:47When you're finally settled.
19:50The betrothal is finally settled.
19:52The future dragon queen.
19:54It seems the royal family
19:56has already decided to sign it.
20:10I look forward to seeing you become king.
20:17My queen.
20:19We've only just begun.
20:23We've only just begun.
