00:00:04No!
00:00:05Ryan!
00:00:06No!
00:00:13Leave quickly!
00:00:14Go!
00:00:15No, no, no!
00:00:17No, no!
00:00:19No, no!
00:00:25Follow the Dragon King!
00:00:30No!
00:00:42Ryan!
00:00:49Ryan!
00:01:06No!
00:01:07No, no!
00:01:08Stay with me!
00:01:11This pays my debt.
00:01:14We're done.
00:01:15I loved Ryan for years.
00:01:18I thought he would at least care, but in the end, all we had left was hate.
00:01:23He hated me for taking him from Leela, and I hated that he stood beside me, still loving her.
00:01:36You used the crown to force me into marrying you.
00:01:39Did you think Leela becoming the Dragon's Brife would make me love you instead?
00:01:47Ryan!
00:01:48Come back!
00:01:50Leela died at Blackie before the year was over.
00:01:53The marriage pact broke.
00:01:56Then the war came.
00:01:59If there's another life, give Leela back to me.
00:02:09He died for me, but his last wish was still Leela.
00:02:16Ryan and I ended here.
00:02:19If there was another life, I would never choose him again.
00:02:31I opened my eyes on the day I begged my father to make Ryan my husband.
00:02:36Black Keep is slipping out of our control.
00:02:39A marriage pact may be the only thing standing between us and war.
00:02:44And you still come here asking for Rion?
00:02:49Give Leela back to me.
00:02:53No.
00:02:55I don't want Rion anymore.
00:02:57If Black Keep wants Leela, send me in her place.
00:03:11I beg your majesty to withdraw the decree.
00:03:16Do not trade Leela to Black Keep in a marriage pact.
00:03:20Just like in my last life, he was still here for Leela.
00:03:25Rion!
00:03:27Get up, please!
00:03:34Get him inside!
00:03:36Now!
00:03:37In my last life, I had him dragged inside.
00:03:41From that night on,
00:03:43I forced this marriage on him.
00:03:47Rion!
00:03:48What?
00:03:49Did you even think this through?
00:03:51If my father withdraws the decree, Black Keep will still demand a bride.
00:03:55If not her, then me!
00:04:00I command the royal army.
00:04:02I won't let this kingdom buy peace with a princess.
00:04:05You command the royal army, not Black Keep.
00:04:10Leela or me, one of us is still going.
00:04:12Stop pushing your father, Seraphina!
00:04:14This pact can still be stopped!
00:04:17What a shame.
00:04:21What are you playing at now?
00:04:25Nothing.
00:04:27She should have caused a scene.
00:04:28She should have dragged me inside.
00:04:31Why is she letting this go?
00:04:42My lord.
00:04:44A message from the Southern Court.
00:04:46The decree has been altered.
00:04:47The bride sent to Black Kip would be Princess Seraphina instead.
00:04:54Black Keep was said to be brutal, and the dragon-in-lord even worse.
00:04:58In my last life, Leela was sent there as his bride, and she died before the first year was over.
00:05:05The king still issued the decree?
00:05:10Commander, what are you doing? Let go of her!
00:05:12Get out!
00:05:16Why do you keep pushing the king?
00:05:18Why are you so determined to send Leela to Black Keep?
00:05:21Rheon, you're hurting me!
00:05:22A woman this jealous, this cruel, this willing to ruin her own sister!
00:05:28What makes you think you deserve to be loved?
00:05:32We looked at him the same way he did in our last life.
00:05:34Maybe we were doomed from the start.
00:05:39Commander, mind your place.
00:05:49Princess, what happened just now was out of line.
00:05:52You should go.
00:05:53But what I said still stands.
00:05:55As long as you keep pushing this, Leela will still be sent to marry to Black Keep.
00:05:59Black Keep's bride was already me, not Leela.
00:06:02Are you sure about this?
00:06:04For the kingdom, I'll accept the alliance.
00:06:06As for my marriage decree with Rheon, give it to Leela.
00:06:13Leela will get what she wants. So will you. You don't need to worry about it anymore.
00:06:18What do you mean?
00:06:22Serafina!
00:06:23Is this decree real?
00:06:25Your highness, forgive me.
00:06:26I tried to stop her, but she forced her way in.
00:06:28You really went to father for this marriage decree?
00:06:34A marriage decree?
00:06:36No wonder you were so calm.
00:06:38You already got the king to seal it.
00:06:40Then open it and read it before you accuse me.
00:06:42Do I even need to read it?
00:06:46You used your dead mother's name to force his majesty to bind me to you.
00:06:50Do you honestly think a piece of parchment can chain me to your bed?
00:06:54Keep your pathetic decree!
00:07:02You disgust me.
00:07:13The bride sent to Black Heap shall be Princess Serafina.
00:07:18What a shame.
00:07:20You were ready to die for him.
00:07:22And he wouldn't even read the decree!
00:07:28What's wrong, Serafina?
00:07:29I finally realised that forcing him to marry you still wouldn't make you his wife.
00:07:33Don't worry, sister.
00:07:34I won't say a word.
00:07:38I won't ruin the surprise you left him for sure.
00:07:51Your Highness.
00:07:53Why won't you tell him?
00:07:55If Commander Rion knew you were walking into death for him.
00:07:59No turning back.
00:08:01There's no point.
00:08:03He's never wanted the truth.
00:08:08Tomorrow, our noble Princess Leila leaves for Black Keep that living hell.
00:08:15Tonight, we drink to her sacrifice and her courage.
00:08:19To Princess Leila!
00:08:21To her courage!
00:08:28At least I get to spend my last night in the kingdom with you.
00:08:36Princess Leila is the pride of this kingdom.
00:08:39She knows Black Hill may cost her life, yet she still walks towards it for all of us.
00:08:43Exactly!
00:08:44Her own sister is being sent to die tomorrow while someone else is busy scheming to force the Commander into
00:08:48marriage!
00:08:49Don't say that about Serafina.
00:08:51After all, not everyone has the courage to face death.
00:08:58Why did Serafina look more broken than Leila?
00:09:01She's marrying me.
00:09:03Shouldn't she be happy?
00:09:04Let them gossip a little longer.
00:09:07It is still better than dying with the kingdom, like Last Life.
00:09:12Rion!
00:09:13Have one more drink with me tomorrow.
00:09:15I'll be gone.
00:09:26Mother, this garden was the only place that still felt like you.
00:09:30This may be my last time here.
00:09:32Your roses are still blooming.
00:09:35Tomorrow, I leave for Black Keep with the last pair of gloves you gave me.
00:09:39At least I can still take one piece of you with me.
00:09:50You stole the sacrifice that should have been mine. Tonight I just showed them the real you.
00:09:55Sacrifice?
00:09:59You would die there and start a war. I'm cleaning up your mess so stop calling it a sacrifice.
00:10:06You...
00:10:14What are you doing? Let go!
00:10:16Serafina, no please don't do this to me!
00:10:26No, no, no, no.
00:10:30No! My mom's not in this garden!
00:10:34Don't you know how much I hate you, Seraphina?
00:10:36Even when Ryan's looking at me, I can see you still get to him.
00:10:40Let go! I'm going to Black Kim in your place!
00:10:43What else do you want from me?
00:10:44Because you just can't let him go.
00:10:46Even on your way to Black Kim, you still want Ryan looking at you.
00:10:49After tonight, he won't.
00:10:50I didn't.
00:10:51My mom helped raise Rion.
00:10:52If he sees what you did to her garden, he'll turn on you.
00:10:57Then let's find out.
00:11:04No! The gloves!
00:11:12Seraphina!
00:11:13Rion! She pushed me! Help!
00:11:16Rion!
00:11:17Rion, it burns! I'm scared!
00:11:29Rion!
00:11:37Leela, let go! I have to get her out!
00:11:39I have to get her out!
00:11:40I have to get her out!
00:11:42Rion!
00:11:43I can't move!
00:11:45I think my leg is broken!
00:11:47It hurts so much, Rion!
00:11:48Don't leave me!
00:11:49Please, don't leave me!
00:11:53Ryan...
00:11:54She tried to kill me!
00:12:01I'm here, Leela.
00:12:03I'm right here.
00:12:05So this is how cruel you can be, Rhyon.
00:12:16The princess is still inside! Help her! Water, now!
00:12:33Princess!
00:12:46Have you lost your mind? Layla is your sister!
00:12:48She's being sent to Blackknit tomorrow and you still tried to kill her tonight?
00:12:51What are you talking about? She burnt my mother's garden to the ground!
00:12:54She burnt the last thing my mother left me!
00:12:56Then I'm glad the late Queen isn't here to see this.
00:12:59She'd be ashamed of what you've become!
00:13:04You will pay for this!
00:13:13Rhyon, please! Don't let her near me!
00:13:16Stay back, Separina!
00:13:19Please, I said I was sorry. I didn't know your mother's memory was that fragile.
00:13:24A few flowers, a little fire, and it was all gone.
00:13:30Shut your mouth!
00:13:40No, no!
00:13:42Serafina, why didn't you move? You always moved away before!
00:13:45Before?
00:13:46There's no history left between us.
00:13:50I'm sorry. I'll marry you, Serafina.
00:13:54Even after what you did did to Layla, I'll spend the rest of my life making up for this wound.
00:13:59I swear it on my family's name.
00:14:01Rhyon still doesn't know.
00:14:03Tomorrow, the one going to Blackkeep in his precious Leela's place will be me.
00:14:08I brought you something for tomorrow.
00:14:11A surprise, a wedding dress, and a new pair of gloves I made myself.
00:14:24Tomorrow, you'll have my surprise too.
00:14:30Then tomorrow, we start over. I'll make sure you never regret this.
00:14:35Take me now, you're through the fire.
00:14:42When we'll make it through the nightmare.
00:14:47Make it louder, break the silence.
00:14:51My deletion, the promise forever.
00:14:57You and I.
00:15:07You and I.
00:15:30Serafina
00:15:34Surprise, Rion
00:15:36Layla
00:15:39Then who did I just watch leave for Black Key?
00:15:41Tomorrow, you'll have my surprise too
00:15:45Today was also the day Rion was meant to marry Layla
00:15:48By now, he should have seen the supplies I left him
00:15:58Rion, where are you going?
00:16:00You took me!
00:16:02No, no, no, Serafina!
00:16:11Faster!
00:16:12Why are you so determined to send Layla to Black Keep?
00:16:15A woman this jealous, this cruel, this willing to ruin her own system
00:16:19What means you can be deserved to be loved?
00:16:23Serafina!
00:16:30Bye, Rion
00:16:37Serafina!
00:16:40Serafina!
00:16:41Serafina!
00:16:53Serafina!
00:17:07Serafina!
00:17:09We were ordered to escort you inside the keep
00:17:36You took your time
00:17:39I wasn't aware the Dragon Lord had been waiting for me personally
00:17:45Take her to the East Wing
00:17:47No one enters without my word
00:17:49session
00:17:58Rion
00:17:58You came back
00:18:07She walked right past me
00:18:13Rion, she chose Black Keep.
00:18:16I'm here now.
00:18:17I'm your bride.
00:18:29Black Keep is no place for her.
00:18:31Is she even safe there?
00:18:46Snow Cedar.
00:18:48Cold Plum.
00:18:50The same blend from my room in the Capitol.
00:18:53The incense.
00:18:54The bed.
00:18:55Even the fold at the corner.
00:18:57How does he know my habits in the Capitol?
00:18:59Leela died here in less than a year, and I still don't know why.
00:19:04Better to be careful.
00:19:13Do you like the room?
00:19:15It knows me too well.
00:19:25Because the East Wing is yours.
00:19:27A generous gift.
00:19:30No one enters this wing without my word.
00:19:37That sounds less like protection and more like possession.
00:19:39Call it whatever helps you sleep.
00:19:43If I don't sleep...
00:19:45Then keep the knife.
00:20:04You'll rest easier with it.
00:20:10Rest while you can, princess.
00:20:16Your tonic.
00:20:20Set it down properly, please.
00:20:21The Dragon Lord said the East Wing is yours now.
00:20:24If you need anything, ask the servants.
00:20:26As long as your highness remembers why you were sent.
00:20:33Say the rest.
00:20:36Everyone knows, a Southern Bride is still just a bargaining chip.
00:20:39Pick up the tray.
00:20:48A bride sent to a monster should know better than to act like a queen.
00:20:53If this was the Dragon Lord's way of keeping me in line, then so be it.
00:20:58I came here for my kingdom.
00:21:00I could bear this much.
00:21:08She forgot the rules of this keep.
00:21:13Did you sleep?
00:21:16Good.
00:21:26So this was not his doing.
00:21:27He had not sent her to provoke me.
00:21:29Is she this distant because she fears me?
00:21:32Or because she hates this marriage?
00:21:43He did not send anyone to toy with me.
00:21:46But Layla died here in less than a year, and I still don't know why.
00:21:50Better to be careful.
00:21:55Your Highness, you're awake already?
00:21:58I have questions.
00:22:02Of course.
00:22:03Anything.
00:22:33When does the Dragon Lord expect me to attend him?
00:22:34Well, Layla came here once.
00:22:36Layla came here once.
00:22:36She did not survive.
00:22:37So either she broke a rule, or no one told her what the rules were.
00:22:44Did you sleep?
00:22:46Tell me what you want from me, my lord.
00:22:50If there are duties I failed to perform last night, I can correct them.
00:22:53I can learn quickly.
00:22:54Duties?
00:22:55As your bride.
00:22:57Look at me.
00:22:59Who told you I brought you here to serve me?
00:23:01No one.
00:23:02Then why ask?
00:23:04Because I would rather know the rules before I break them.
00:23:07I came here to keep the treaty.
00:23:09I won't give Black Keeps a reason to send me back dead.
00:23:13Is that what you think this place is?
00:23:15Tell me the safest way to please you, my lord.
00:23:18She really is afraid of me.
00:23:20Do not say that again.
00:23:22Yes, my lord.
00:23:28Your Highness?
00:23:30Did I anger him?
00:23:31No.
00:23:32No, your highness.
00:23:34His lordship was not angry with you.
00:23:37Pair the dark gown.
00:23:38The one with the silver clasp.
00:23:42I will go to his chamber tonight.
00:23:44No!
00:23:45Your highness, no!
00:23:47You do not have to do that!
00:23:49I am his bride.
00:24:00Your highness.
00:24:00I am here to see Lord Valon.
00:24:03At this hour?
00:24:05Yes.
00:24:08They know why a bride comes to her husband's tower at night.
00:24:21You shouldn't be here, Serafina.
00:24:26My lord.
00:24:28You were not satisfied this morning.
00:24:31I am here to make amends.
00:24:34Do you have any idea how you look right now?
00:24:40I thought you would never look at me this way.
00:24:51Look at me, Serafina, look at me!
00:24:55You are not offering yourself, you are offering a sacrifice!
00:24:57I will be quiet.
00:24:59I will not resist.
00:25:00Whatever you want, my lord.
00:25:02Shut up!
00:25:03Am I a beast to you?
00:25:04A monster you must pay in flesh to survive?
00:25:06No, please.
00:25:09Get out before I forget I am supposed to be a gentleman.
00:25:18Everything between us is a transaction to her.
00:25:20Serafina.
00:25:21Even her touch has a price.
00:25:34My name is Serafina.
00:25:40If you can hear me, stay alive.
00:25:42I'll come back with help.
00:25:48I won't let Black Keep become another place you survive by fear.
00:25:56Your Highness.
00:25:58Did he hurt you?
00:26:09No.
00:26:10Then what happened?
00:26:12I angered him.
00:26:13No.
00:26:14If he sent you back untouched, then he was protecting you.
00:26:19He told me to get out.
00:26:20He looked at me as if I had insulted him.
00:26:23Because you were frightened.
00:26:25That is exactly the insult.
00:26:27I let him find out.
00:26:29Do not tell anyone.
00:26:31No one will hear it from me.
00:26:40You should rest.
00:26:45Prepare another gown.
00:26:47High collar.
00:26:48No silver clasp.
00:26:50For breakfast.
00:26:53For whatever I have to face.
00:26:56The two guards at the North Passage saw the Princess enter.
00:27:00One runner went to report.
00:27:01Three servants near the lower stair may have noticed her return.
00:27:06Names.
00:27:08Move the two guards to outer wall duty for a month.
00:27:10Not as punishment.
00:27:12As a reminder that silence keeps people alive here.
00:27:16And the servants?
00:27:17No one speaks of her walking to my chamber.
00:27:20No one speaks of her return.
00:27:21Yes, my lord.
00:27:24Send women to East Wing.
00:27:26Quiet ones.
00:27:28Remove every gown prepared for a bridal visit.
00:27:32My lord.
00:27:33If the gowns disappear this morning, she may misunderstand.
00:27:37She already wore one like armor.
00:27:39Yes, my lord.
00:27:41And send breakfast to East Wing.
00:27:43Will you not take breakfast in the hall?
00:27:45If I sit at the table, she will force herself to come.
00:27:49Today, she gets one morning without an audience.
00:28:12By Lord Valon's order, we are to clear several garments from the East Wing.
00:28:17Clear garments.
00:28:21Clear garments.
00:28:23The dark silk gown with silver clasps.
00:28:25The black velvet nightdress.
00:28:27The low-necked blue one.
00:28:29Anything marked for bridal chamber attendance.
00:28:32Last night, I wore the dark silk gown with the silver clasps.
00:28:36This morning, Valon ordered every gown like it removed.
00:28:39I see.
00:28:40No, your highness.
00:28:42Your highness.
00:28:44Your highness.
00:28:46Your highness.
00:28:54This does not mean what you think it means.
00:29:01He did not like what I wore.
00:29:04He did not like why you wore it.
00:29:07Either way, the answer is the same.
00:29:12Did Lord Valon say anything else?
00:29:14His lordship said breakfast will be sent here.
00:29:16You need not attend the hall.
00:29:18So he does not wish to see me this morning?
00:29:20No.
00:29:21He wants you to rest.
00:29:22Then I will rest.
00:29:41The gowns were removed.
00:29:43Breakfast was delivered.
00:29:44She has not eaten.
00:29:45Nothing.
00:29:46She touched the honey bread, then put it back.
00:29:51Nothing.
00:29:52She touched the honey bread, then put it back.
00:29:57My lord, perhaps it is time to tell her that this is not the first time you have known
00:30:02her.
00:30:02That years ago, she saved you.
00:30:04That you kept the glove because...
00:30:10Right now, she fears me.
00:30:12Some part of her may even hate me.
00:30:15She does not know you.
00:30:17Exactly.
00:30:19If I tell her now, it will not comfort her.
00:30:21It will only give her another debt to carry.
00:30:24Then at least, do not let her keep misunderstanding this.
00:30:27She thinks the gowns were removed because you were displeased.
00:30:29She may think you sent breakfast because you do not wish to see her.
00:30:33If she believes you rejected her, she will only find another way to make herself smaller.
00:30:38Write her a letter.
00:30:58Rest today.
00:31:00I will not call for you.
00:31:03My lord, that may sound cruel, distant.
00:31:11Not because I am displeased.
00:31:14Send it with Nora.
00:31:16No guard.
00:31:17Yes, my lord.
00:31:36A note from Lord Valon.
00:31:42Rest today.
00:31:43I will not call for you.
00:31:45Not because I am displeased.
00:31:47You see, he is not angry.
00:31:53Commander Gideon requests permission to speak with the princess.
00:31:57Let him in.
00:32:01Your highness.
00:32:02Did Lord Valon send you?
00:32:04No.
00:32:05Nora sent word that the removal of the gowns unsettled you.
00:32:08I came to make sure nothing else in the east way does the same.
00:32:10The room unsettles me.
00:32:12Every chair, every drawer, every window lash.
00:32:15It is arranged like my room in the southern palace.
00:32:19Is this how Black Helt watches its brides?
00:32:23No.
00:32:24Then how did he know?
00:32:25I cannot answer that for him.
00:32:28Convenient.
00:32:29This room was not arranged to control you.
00:32:32It was arranged with care.
00:32:34Did he know me before this marriage?
00:32:36When he is ready, he will tell you.
00:32:39Your highness.
00:32:45Gideon?
00:32:46Your highness.
00:32:47Forgive the interruption.
00:32:48Come in.
00:32:53A signal from the south road.
00:32:55A southern party has crossed the outer ridge.
00:32:57They carry the royal sile.
00:32:58Commander Ryan is leading them.
00:33:00Commander Ryan?
00:33:03How far?
00:33:04Less than an hour to the south gate.
00:33:06Does Lord Valon know?
00:33:07Commander Gideon has been conformed.
00:33:10Lord Valon is still at the outer wall inspection.
00:33:14We can say you are unwell.
00:33:16If I hide, Ryan will say Black Keep is keeping me from speaking.
00:33:20Then let Gideon receive him.
00:33:22He did not come for Gideon.
00:33:25He came to see whether I can still be taken back.
00:33:34Tell Gideon I will receive Commander Rheon.
00:33:36In the public hall.
00:33:38Not here.
00:33:39Yes, your highness.
00:33:43Are you sure?
00:33:53But I will not let him turn Black Keep into another place where I have to run.
00:34:03State your business.
00:34:04A message from the southern court regarding the marriage treaty.
00:34:07I need to see Princess Serafina.
00:34:08Lord Valon is not receiving southern envoys at the gate.
00:34:10Then tell him Commander Ryan is here.
00:34:13Wait here.
00:34:16She cannot stay here.
00:34:18I was late.
00:34:20But not finished.
00:34:26Serafina.
00:34:29Commander.
00:34:30You do not have to call me that.
00:34:32You came as a southern commander.
00:34:33I receive you as one.
00:34:38I need to speak to her alone.
00:34:40The princess decides who remains.
00:34:42A long time ago I might have softened at those words.
00:34:45He finally wanted to talk to me.
00:34:46But now all I heard was him trying to clear the room
00:34:48and drag me back onto the same old road between us.
00:34:51Nora stays.
00:34:52Commander Gideon stays.
00:34:54You truly distrust me that much.
00:34:56I learned from you.
00:34:58I came to take you home.
00:35:00Home?
00:35:01I was wrong.
00:35:02I should have stopped the carriage sooner.
00:35:03I should have chosen you before you crossed the border.
00:35:06Come back with me.
00:35:07I will speak to the king.
00:35:08This marriage can still be undone.
00:35:12You still think this is yours to undo.
00:35:14I'm trying to save you.
00:35:18From the marriage I chose?
00:35:19You chose it because you were hurt.
00:35:21Because of me.
00:35:22Because of Layla.
00:35:24Do not make my decision another thing about you.
00:35:28Move.
00:35:29No.
00:35:30Look at me.
00:35:31Tell me you feel nothing.
00:35:32Tell me there is nothing left and I will go.
00:35:35There is nothing left that can bring me back.
00:35:36He is a dragon, Serafina.
00:35:38You do not know what he is.
00:35:39He is dangerous.
00:35:40But I know what you are.
00:35:42That was enough for me to leave.
00:35:45Commander Gideon, outer wall signal.
00:35:47Lord Valens patrol is delayed.
00:35:48The outer wall is short on men.
00:35:49Go.
00:35:51Your Highness.
00:35:52Nora is here.
00:35:52I will not be alone.
00:35:54Go.
00:35:55Our conversation is nearly finished anyway.
00:35:57Commander, you remain where you are.
00:36:06Serafina, wait.
00:36:07Just step back.
00:36:08I will not let you disappear behind his walls.
00:36:12I am not disappearing.
00:36:14I am leaving you.
00:36:18Serafina.
00:36:21I cannot let this become a scene.
00:36:23I cannot let Black Hill watch a southern commander chase its bride through the tower.
00:36:27The treaty has barely steadied.
00:36:29I cannot let him turn it into another scandal.
00:36:33Stop following me.
00:36:34Then hear me.
00:36:35I already did.
00:36:41Your Highness, that is Dragon Lords.
00:36:53Your Highness.
00:36:54This is Lord Valens' private chamber.
00:37:01I know.
00:37:04No.
00:37:04Serafina.
00:37:11Your Highness.
00:37:14Serafina, I know you are in there.
00:37:19Where is she?
00:37:21Commander, you cannot enter Lord Valens' private chamber.
00:37:24Then tell her to stop hiding from me.
00:37:31Serafina, I know I hurt you.
00:37:34I know I was blind.
00:37:36But I am here now.
00:37:39Once, I waited years for those words.
00:37:42But hearing them only me want to move farther away.
00:37:46Are there stitching?
00:37:47A glove my mother made.
00:37:50Come out.
00:37:52I will fix this.
00:37:54I will fix us.
00:38:01My name is Serafina.
00:38:03If you can hear me, stay alive.
00:38:04I'll come back with help.
00:38:08I never should have let Leela stand between us.
00:38:11What is this doing here?
00:38:13You need to leave.
00:38:15Now.
00:38:17Serafina.
00:38:18I know you can hear me.
00:38:26What is that?
00:38:27My mother made this.
00:38:29Serafina.
00:38:30Serafina.
00:38:30Do not.
00:38:41Why do you have my mother's glove?
00:38:47Why do you have my mother's glove?
00:38:50Serafina, put it down.
00:38:51You should not touch anything hidden in his room.
00:38:53I asked him.
00:38:56You were a child when I first saw you.
00:39:00What does that mean?
00:39:01Near the old hunting woods.
00:39:03Snow on the ground.
00:39:04I was wounded and hiding from men who would have sold my body to your father's court piece by piece.
00:39:10You found me.
00:39:11You were terrified.
00:39:12You still took off your glove and pressed it against my wound.
00:39:15You told me your name.
00:39:18My name is Serafina.
00:39:19If you can hear me, stay alive.
00:39:20I'll come back with help.
00:39:22That boy...
00:39:23Was me.
00:39:24This is impossible.
00:39:26You are in my chamber, Commander.
00:39:28Do not call my life impossible while standing beside the proof.
00:39:32And she is supposed to believe you kept a child's glove all these years out of tenderness?
00:39:36She does not owe me believe.
00:39:38You asked why I had it.
00:39:41That is the answer.
00:39:44Then why did you never tell me?
00:39:45Because every time you looked at anything from Black Keep, you looked ready to run.
00:39:51This was not the only pair.
00:39:53After your mother died, I made another pair.
00:39:55White riding gloves.
00:39:57Larger than this one.
00:39:58Softened at the wrist because this old glove had worn there first.
00:40:10Mum, you made all my gloves.
00:40:12This pair is old now.
00:40:15Who's going to make the next pair for me?
00:40:22I will.
00:40:24From now on.
00:40:26I'll make them for you in Her Majesty's place.
00:40:30Only for you.
00:40:32The pair at my mother's grave.
00:40:34I sent them to you.
00:40:42You said they were from you.
00:40:43Were they yours?
00:40:47Answer me.
00:40:48I found the box outside your chamber.
00:40:51There was no name.
00:40:53No seal.
00:40:54I thought it was from the palace workshop.
00:40:57You knew you did not make them.
00:41:04And you sent a gift into the southern palace without a name.
00:41:08What did you expect?
00:41:13I expected to reach her.
00:41:15Then you failed.
00:41:18I failed to keep a box from your hands.
00:41:21You failed to tell a grieving girl the truth.
00:41:28When I thanked you, why did you not tell me?
00:41:33You stopped crying.
00:41:35You stopped crying.
00:41:36You held that box like someone had remembered you were still growing.
00:41:39I had never seen you look at me like that.
00:41:41I told myself it did not matter where it came from.
00:41:44You needed it.
00:41:45I brought it to you.
00:41:47You let her love a lie because the lie looked good on you.
00:41:51Do not speak of love like you know what she gave me.
00:41:55I know what she gave you.
00:41:57Years.
00:41:59Loyalty.
00:42:00A home you did not know how to enter.
00:42:04Careful.
00:42:10Draw steel in my chamber.
00:42:12And you will not leave it carrying the same hand.
00:42:17Enough.
00:42:18I do not need either of you to turn my mother's glove into a battlefield.
00:42:24Seraphiana, but every pair after that was mine.
00:42:28I spent years believing you remembered what my mother used to remember.
00:42:33But you only found the box.
00:42:35Seraphiana, no!
00:42:36Everything I felt for you began with those gloves.
00:42:39I thought you were the one who remembered what my mother used to remember.
00:42:44And now you are telling me you never made them.
00:42:53Move.
00:42:55No.
00:42:56She cried in front of me for years!
00:42:59And you learned nothing from it.
00:43:05You entered my chamber.
00:43:07You chased my bride through my tower.
00:43:10You touched a grief that was never yours to wear.
00:43:13You will leave Blackkeep in chains if I decide by law.
00:43:18Then do it.
00:43:20Show her the monster she married.
00:43:25Valon!
00:43:26Do not let him decide what you become in front of me.
00:43:38My lord.
00:43:39Commander Raon violated private chambers, pursued the princess after refusal, and drew threat inside my tower.
00:43:45I came for the woman who was mine before your treaty.
00:43:48Take him to the lower cells.
00:43:51Is this what you want?
00:43:52To watch him lock me away because I came for you?
00:43:55You still think you came for me?
00:43:58You came because I left before you allowed it?
00:44:03Do not put him in your cells.
00:44:05He endangered you.
00:44:06And you would spare him?
00:44:09No.
00:44:12Send him back to the south.
00:44:13Today.
00:44:15Strip him of the excuse that Blackkeep hid him, harmed him, or used him as leverage.
00:44:20But he does not cross Blackkeep land again.
00:44:23Not as envoy.
00:44:25Not as commander.
00:44:26Not as anything.
00:44:29If the south has letters, they send another hand.
00:44:32If the king has questions, he writes.
00:44:36You will not use diplomacy to reach me again.
00:44:42Serafina!
00:44:43That is Princess Serafina of Blackkeep to you.
00:44:49Escort Commander Rion to the south gate.
00:44:52Return his sword outside the boundary.
00:44:54Inform his mech Commander Rion is banished from all Blackkeep lands by order of the princess and by my seal.
00:45:00Yes, my lord.
00:45:02You cannot mean this!
00:45:04I meant it the moment I crossed the border.
00:45:07You only heard it now.
00:45:12By order of Princess Serafina confirmed by Lord Valon's seal, Commander Rion is banished from Blackkeep lands.
00:45:30Commander Rion is banished from all Blackkeep lands by Lord Valon's seal, but I should have told you sooner.
00:45:36Yes.
00:45:43I should have told you sooner.
00:45:46Can you tell me why you are so afraid of me?
00:45:49I was so sure Blackkeep was the place brides were sent when no one expected them to come back.
00:45:54Because that is how they spoke of this place.
00:45:57So I thought, if I pleased you, I could stay alive.
00:46:02Long enough to keep the treaty from breaking.
00:46:05I know.
00:46:07Not the reason.
00:46:08Not all of it.
00:46:09I knew what I saw.
00:46:11You stood in my room like a woman waiting for punishment.
00:46:15That is why I wore the gown.
00:46:17I know.
00:46:18And you sent me away.
00:46:20I sent you away from fear.
00:46:23Not from me.
00:46:24Will you let me make it right?
00:46:33Open your eyes, Serafina.
00:46:36I don't want your submission.
00:46:38I want your choice.
00:46:48Here.
00:46:49My life.
00:46:51My weakness.
00:46:53All yours.
00:46:54You are not a monster.
00:47:11You won't ever need this gown again.
00:47:35Look at me.
00:47:37Look at only me.
00:47:38Valon.
00:47:39Oh, high and high.
00:47:43When no one can see.
00:47:47If there's no one to blame.
00:48:01Are you all right?
00:48:02You ask that every time I wake up.
00:48:06And you still do not answer it honestly every time.
00:48:12Move into my chamber.
00:48:16Not as an order.
00:48:20And I do not want anyone in black keep.
00:48:23To think you are a bride I keep it at a distance.
00:48:26If you do not want it, say no.
00:48:29East wing remains yours.
00:48:31The door remains open.
00:48:33Nothing changes.
00:48:34Except what you choose.
00:48:37Your chamber?
00:48:38Our chamber.
00:48:39If you allow it.
00:48:51Where is my sister?
00:48:53You rode all the way to black keep.
00:48:55You brought a royal scene.
00:48:57You made half the court whisper.
00:48:58And you came back alone?
00:49:01Do not speak of her.
00:49:04Her?
00:49:06You mean the woman you swore you never wanted?
00:49:08What happened in black keep?
00:49:10Did she refuse to come?
00:49:11Or did the dragon lord refuse to give her back?
00:49:13She is not a thing to be given back.
00:49:16How noble.
00:49:17You learnt that after losing her?
00:49:20Enough.
00:49:21No.
00:49:21I want to know.
00:49:23Did you kneel?
00:49:23Did you beg?
00:49:24Did you tell her you finally chose her?
00:49:28You wanted my name.
00:49:29You wanted the wedding.
00:49:31You wanted every room to know you won.
00:49:33And now that you have it, you sit here drinking while the kingdom cracks around us.
00:49:37Do not put this on me because you wanted me.
00:49:39I do not know what I wanted anymore.
00:49:44Then go back to Black Kemp.
00:49:45Beg out her window.
00:49:45See if her dragon lets you breathe.
00:49:47I am forbidden from Black Keep Lance.
00:49:50By her order.
00:49:53She can give orders in Black Kemp now?
00:49:58She was supposed to be surviving.
00:50:00Not ruling there.
00:50:14The needle case by the left side.
00:50:18You really remember everything?
00:50:21Not everything.
00:50:23I do not know what you want now.
00:50:27Then ask.
00:50:29Do you want the wedding?
00:50:30The treaty has its seal.
00:50:32The South can call you my bride on paper.
00:50:36Black Kemp already obeys it.
00:50:38But I have not asked you.
00:50:40As a man.
00:50:43Do you want to marry me?
00:50:46In front of Black Kemp.
00:50:48Not because of the treaty.
00:50:50Because you choose it.
00:50:58Yes.
00:51:03But no Southern White.
00:51:05What do you want?
00:51:11Black Keep Colors.
00:51:13Done.
00:51:17And no one gives me away.
00:51:19You walk in by yourself.
00:51:31The court heard.
00:51:34You were banished from Black Keep Lance by Serafina's order.
00:51:40Do you know how humiliating that is for me?
00:51:43For you?
00:51:47Yes.
00:51:48For me.
00:51:48I am your wife.
00:51:50If my husband is thrown out like a stray dog.
00:51:53What do you think they say about me?
00:51:55They should say you finally got what you wanted.
00:51:59I wanted a husband who loved me.
00:52:02You wanted a victory over your sister.
00:52:04Rion, it's fine.
00:52:05If Serafina wants to keep them.
00:52:07I'll just bear the pain.
00:52:11Give them to me!
00:52:14Let go!
00:52:15Don't touch it!
00:52:41You've risked your life just to throw a fit.
00:52:43They're just a pair of old gloves.
00:52:44I'll make you ten more.
00:52:45You think...
00:52:47you can replace this?
00:52:51You don't even know what you just tore apart!
00:52:54You didn't make these.
00:52:55My mother did.
00:52:56They were the last pair she ever sewed for me before she died.
00:53:01And I was stupid enough to become your prize.
00:53:06You do not get to blame me for loving you!
00:53:12Love?
00:53:14When she crossed the border, you smiled.
00:53:16When she was sent to the Dragon Lord, you slept well.
00:53:19When I came back without her, you asked if you were humiliated.
00:53:25She ran to another man's bed, and now everyone calls it choice.
00:53:34Do not speak of her like that.
00:53:40There it is.
00:53:42You never defended me like that.
00:53:46If she walked in now, and asked you to kneel, would you?
00:53:55Good.
00:54:01Then watch me stop being the soft one.
00:54:05What does that mean?
00:54:07Good.
00:54:17By Lord Valon of Black Keep, and Princess Serafina of Black Keep,
00:54:21the wedding rite will be held at Black Keep under the protection of the treaty seal.
00:54:25So the marriage is no longer just a border treaty.
00:54:27Black Keep is making it public.
00:54:29Wedding rite?
00:54:32Commander, you are forbidden from Black Hill lands.
00:54:35You will not interfere.
00:54:37She was forced there.
00:54:39She signed the treaty herself.
00:54:42Because we left her no choice!
00:54:44Do not turn your guilt into a border crisis.
00:54:48If she marries him before all of Black House, there will be no way back.
00:54:52There was no way back when she crossed the border.
00:54:57The guest list includes Princess Layla as family witness.
00:55:01Commander Rion is not permitted to attend.
00:55:04She invites Layla.
00:55:07And bans me.
00:55:14You heard.
00:55:16Do not go to that wedding.
00:55:19Why?
00:55:20Afraid I will see her happy?
00:55:23You are not going there as her sister!
00:55:26And you are not staying here as my husband!
00:55:28Then end it.
00:55:32What is this?
00:55:34Disillusion papers.
00:55:35You are divorcing me because she is marrying him!
00:55:38No!
00:55:39I am ending a marriage built on spite.
00:55:41I signed it before I came here.
00:55:43You signed it first.
00:55:44No.
00:55:45You could not choose Serafina when she begged for you.
00:55:48But now you can destroy me for her wedding!
00:55:51Let go!
00:55:51Do not go to Black Keep.
00:55:53Watch me.
00:55:55Commander Rion, by order of the King, you are relieved of active command until further review.
00:55:59Move.
00:55:59Commander, pick the cap!
00:56:10Commander, the King has stripped your command.
00:56:15The King can strip a title.
00:56:18He cannot strip your oath.
00:56:22Blackheel has taken a southern princess.
00:56:24The court calls it peace because they are afraid to look at what she paid.
00:56:28Princess Serafina ordered you banished.
00:56:31Then I will make her say it to my face again.
00:56:34We ride before dawn!
00:56:43If the crown will not stop the wedding, I will.
00:57:01Your mother would have loved this.
00:57:03I hope so.
00:57:15Are you ready?
00:57:20Together.
00:57:25Commander!
00:57:26Blackheel bound for your head!
00:57:28If we cross, it is open violation!
00:57:32If we cross, it is open violation!
00:57:56If we cross, it is open violation!
00:57:57Take that off!
00:57:59Take that off!
00:58:00You crossed a border to say that?
00:58:05You cannot marry him.
00:58:11She can.
00:58:12You stay out of this.
00:58:14You are standing at my gate on my land trying to stop my wedding.
00:58:17I am already in it.
00:58:23If I have to cut through him to reach you, I will.
00:58:26You still think reaching me is the same as having me?
00:58:29No arrows!
00:58:32He came for a monster.
00:58:35Let him see the dragon.
00:58:54You hide behind a beast.
00:58:57No.
00:58:58No.
00:58:59He is the beast.
00:59:01I am.
00:59:06No.
00:59:08No.
00:59:10No.
00:59:10No!
00:59:12No!
00:59:13No!
00:59:15No!
00:59:16Do you want him to kill me?
00:59:18If I wanted you dead...
00:59:20...you would not still be speaking.
00:59:26You crossed the boundary after banishment.
00:59:29You brought armed men to a wedding protected by Treaty Seal.
00:59:32You endangered the bride you claimed to save.
00:59:35I love her.
00:59:36Then learn what her refusal means.
00:59:38This is my last warning.
00:59:40If you cross into Black Keep again, I will not return your sword outside the boundary.
00:59:46...
00:59:50...
00:59:51...
01:00:02...
01:00:05Former commander Rhyan, by order of the king you are under arrest.
01:00:08Move!
01:00:09Violated Royal Command, severed your marriage without approval.
01:00:12Led armed men across treaty land and attempted to disrupt the Black Keep alliance.
01:00:16Disarm him.
01:00:21Seraphine.
01:00:23Seraphine.
01:00:29Seraphine.
01:00:30Ryan has been arrested by the Southern Guard beyond the boundary.
01:00:33Do you need a moment?
01:00:38No.
01:00:38No.
01:00:42We continue.
01:00:54Before Black Heel, before the Southern Seal, before the line this marriage protects.
01:00:59Speak by choice. Stand by choice. Bind by choice.
01:01:03I will not ask you to be fearless.
01:01:06Because I will always stand beside you instead of in front of you.
01:01:09I came here to keep peace.
01:01:11I stay because I choose you.
01:01:14The boy I once saved lived.
01:01:16The man he became gave me back my life.
01:01:24Lord Valon and Princess Seraphirna of Black Keep.
01:01:27Lord Valon and Princess Seraphirna of Black Keep.
01:01:32You looked very calm when you turned into a dragon.
01:01:34What?
01:01:36Nothing.
01:01:38You were handsome.
01:01:42As a dragon?
01:01:44Especially as a dragon.
01:01:48Then I should show you properly.
01:01:50After the hall empties.
01:01:53Ready?
01:01:54Ready?
01:02:04Still handsome.
01:02:13I know that was laughing.
01:02:50You expect me to climb in?
01:02:53Do not give me that look. You are the size of a tower.
01:02:59I did it. Come in.
01:03:13Show off.
01:03:14You said I was handsome. I was making sure.
01:03:19May I?
01:03:25Yes.
01:03:36You chose me.
01:03:39I did.
01:03:41And I will choose you every time.
01:03:43I will choose you every time.
01:03:53Paula.
01:04:05You are beautiful
